Snowman’s “No-L” ** SSS29
Here it is … the welcome weekend! I can slmost ’see’ the happy smiles from here! This also brings a sweet new sketch challenge from The Sweet Stop, SSS29. Come on along and join us in the fun! Follow the sketch, then upload it to Mr. Linky at The Sweet Stop for your chance to win $10 toward shopping at Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps!
The main image was stamped once with Memento Tuxedo Black, then a second time with Adirondack Pigment Pitch Black & heat embossed with black embossing powder. Both images were colored with Copic markers, but the embossed snowman was later cut out to produce a popped up layer atop the first snowman. Additional highlights were added with Spica glitter pens.
For some added pizazz around the layers, a little line of Quickie Glue Pen was covered with glitter, and the punched fir leaves are also glittered. I hope you like it!

Sounds like a most beautiful day will be in store for Albuquerque, and an equally beautiful forecast for N. Texas upon my return!
After a 12-hour drive to Albuquerque on Thursday, Friday was a full day of setting up the

It was a pleasure and loads of fun to share the weekend in Albuquerque. “Mr. & Mrs. Rubbernecker” are back in California now, pressing more rubber stamps and prepping for the next show in Phoenix, Arizona. I know they’ll have a great show there next weekend. Be sure to look them up if you’re in the Phoenix area! 

Graphics 45 DSP with a small holly pattern gave me the idea to stamp & emboss the holly leaves for the addition atop the small red satin bow. The ‘Peace’ sentiment is gold embossed for a touch of added elegance to echo the gold card base. I hope you like it!
