Creepy Christmas snowman

Ho ho ho ho

Merry Christmas!!!

Right??  It's only a little over a week away!! 

I need to stop producing cards and actually get them into the mail...

Maybe tomorrow??

I made this creation using a new image I got from The Octopode Factory Shop

I just love this snowman!

The snowman was colored with my copic and Spectrum Noir markers. 

I also paper pieced the hat and scarf using Basic Grey Serendipity papers.

I added the washi tape banner made with twine and the sentiment "tis the season"

The Octopode Factory Challenge is Triangles so I did the bunting as flags,

And then I added the washi tree's to the bottom of the card. 

I also stamped 3 snowflakes around mr snowman!

I think I might use mr. snowman here to play along with Tim Holtz's tag challenge this month.

He's just perfect isn't he??

Angie delarie DT submission

A few days ago Angie Delarie posted that she was looking for some new DT members for 2013!

Find that posting here

I was super stoked!  I mean you know how much I LOVE her digi's

 

So Angie sent me this Elfie in a box to design for the try out

Plus.... 

I just won some papers from Carta Bella Papers 

so I cut them and pieces them to look sort of like a quilt block

and then I sewed on the page to finish that look

Even though these papers aren't from any Christmas line, I certainly tried to make them look 

like they are... did I succeed?  

Here is a close up of Elfie in a box which I colored up using my Copics and Prismacolor Markers

Soooo cross your fingers that I'll get picked for this awesome opportunity!
