Hello Snowman

Happy Monday...

This is a short week at work... Let's do this!!!!  Can't way for some days in a row to get some rest...  but  I know I have to focus because need to make a lot in 2 or 3 days before Thanksgiving.

But today I wanted to ask you... do you like snow?  For me, that I live in a tropical Island and don't really enjoy warm weather... snow seems fascinating.  Just a few times in my life I've seen it and it has been as a "tourist" LOL...  So I hear some people complaining about snow consequences when they live a long cold winter...   It all depends on the eyes of the spectator and everything in excess is not good... too much sun, too much snow...

But I think everybody loves snowmen.  I use some of them for my cards and projects even though my Christmas is warm... Snowmen are a great Christmas icon, no matter where you live.

Here's this little fellow from Unity Stamp Co.  Love it (or him?)!

Anyway... this is a very very simple card but I wanted it to be that way.  Just pictured the way it is... blue background with the snowman and just a few more elements.  He has glitter and heat embossing to accent some of his parts... I really like this guy!  Hope you do too.  Have a great week!

Let it Snow!

Hello friends... 

There's no such thing as snowing in my country, beautiful Island of Puerto Rico.  But I love Snowpeople...  They are sooo cute.  Most of the time they have these friendly faces and welcome smiles... I love them.

I call them "amiguitos" which mean "little friends".

Also, snowmen have become a very important icon of Christmas around the world... and even though we don't get to see the real snow in the Island, a lot of people decorate their homes with these amiguitos.  So making cards with them is ok too...LOL...

This is a pretty simple card made with a Snowman die-cut I've had for a while (Actually, I have a box with Christmas papers and embellishments that I use every year because I refuse to keep buying more papers until I use them all -well with a little exceptions- and this Snowman had been there for a while).

I arranged it with a tag, inked distressed patterned papers, buttons and also added a Santa hat to my little cold friend.

Some glossy accents also gave some life to his nose and buttons.

I love the final look of my card.  Hope you too...   

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
