It's Winter....I think???

So today is the first official day of Winter, but here in PA it's 58 degrees. Can you believe that one? We had a freak snowstorm on Halloween and on the first day of Winter we get Spring temps. Oh well, I am not complaining. It certainly could be worse ;).....although I must admit, I wouldn't mind a bit of snow for Christmas :).

Since we don't have snow but it is officially Winter, I thought a snowman card would be appropriate. The challenge over at Splitcoast today is to use a digital image, paper, or element so I used a digital stamp for my card.


I colored the image with Copics. I created a polka dot pattern on the snowman's scarf with my Copic blender by just adding little dots over the red. The blender "ink" pushes the red ink and leaves dots....I love using my blender to create patterns :).

The name of the ornament designer paper escapes me but it was a 12x12 sheet I had picked up at a local scrapbooking store (Joys of Life in Mechanicsburg, PA). The scallops were cut with the Sweet 'n Sassy Scallop Dies. The other DP's are various scraps I had stashed from previous cards.

Well, I don't know about you but I am counting down the days till Christmas. We have a large family brunch on Saturday and my hubby's parents and brother (and his dog) will be staying with us for a few days so I have sooooo much prepping still to be done.....oh and of course, I cannot forget, today is my middle son's 12th birthday :)!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your week, despite all of the running here and there.......and be sure to have yourself a very Merry Christmas!
