SSS33 Snow Doodles

Anyone who really knows me, knows this...I don't like the COLD weather, but.... if you have to have cold weather, then give me the snow to go with it because then you can at least have some fun times while freezing to death!


For the last couple of months I have intended to get out all of my 'snowman' stamp images and stamp one of them 'upside down' to look as if he was standing on his hands...it just seemed like it would be a fun idea. Well, I needed to make myself sit down and get something created for this weeks SSS33 Sketch Challenge...I wanted something new and fun to work with, so I went 'browsing' through some of the companies I have in my files. And all of a sudden 'my idea' was staring at me... right in the face... This fantastic snowman....doing a 'handstand' in the snow. Now to be honest, the stamp is titled, 'Rolling Snowman', but to me, he looks as if he is doing a 'handstand. I was so excited to see 'my idea' already done up for me,(hummm, someone else has an imagination similar to mine...now, that might be kind of scary) so of course, I purchased it, printed it out, and have used it for this week's SSS33 Challenge!


I paper-pieced his mittens using the same pattern paper as the background paper. His hat and scarf are colored with copics. I've added red rhinestones for his buttons and orange stickles for his nose. For added dimension and sparkle, I added more stickles beneath his head and hands. I also used 'Snow White Flower Soft' product on portions of the snowman...it makes him look all 'fluffy'.


The Snowman image is from DZ Doodles Delight (link is listed on sidebar).
I purchased a couple other images from them while there and hope to be using them sometime soon.


Well, as always, be sure to check out the work of the other Sugar Baby Design Team Members...they will not disappoint you, I promise! And, if you have time to play along with the challenge, we would love to have you....be sure to post a link to your creation on the Mr Linky post at 'The Sweet Stop Blog'...I would love to see what you do with the sketch!


Also, this week Korin has added 2 new digi images and 2 stamp sets to the website. A portion of the sales from one of the stamp sets will go to benefit a family who's young son suddenly passed away in recent months...you can get more information about this family at the 'Sweet N' Sassy Stamps" website....link is on my sidebar!


As all of you know, this is a very busy time of year for everyone and I have more than enough to keep me busy this month. Because I am a very S-L-O-W crafter, more-than-likely, I will only be posting for 'The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge' for the remainder of this month...I hope you will all understand.


As always, spend time with family and friends and then...


Make time to create but remember to have fun and enjoy the experience!
