Snowman

No card today.  I have been working on this snowman wreath for a couple of weeks now, and finally finished it up today.  I just love him.  Lots of cutting and attaching the mech to a wire wreath, but he is so cute.  Thought I would share it with you.

A cardinal and some green above his earmuff

The mess is very sparkly, but picture doesn't show it.

I also added some snowflakes and jewels in the center of them.

Such a handsome snowman!!!  LOVE him.

BSS IDEA-Santa Gets Framed

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with friends and family. 

Did you go out into the Christmas Shopping madness?  I did not.  I used to

get up to get to the stores for certain toys and games, but those days are

over.  I did run out later at night on Friday to get a new game for

Christmas Eve, but by then the crowds were over and I just zupped in

and out quickly.

Well, in the spirit of the upcoming visit by the man in red here is

this weeks offering.

Close up of stamped image.

Stamp - Santas Pick up - Stampendous (CRR274)

Paper - Gold Mirror Paper

Snowflake Dies - Penny Black

Red Pearls - Kaiser

Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing folder

Sponger Snowbanks

Colored with Copics

Stardust Stickles

Liquid Pearls-White

Cut a piece of the mirror card stock to fit

the front of your card.  Center a die that is big enough

for your image on the mirror card stock and cut.

Place the frame you created in the embossing folder

and run it through.  Adhere your stamped image

so it is centered in the frame.  Adhere the framed

image to the front of your card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great day

Until later.........
