Hi, Everyone! It's time for our mid-month inspiration for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra. As always, we are a month long anything goes (as long as it is Christmas related) challenge. Our Sponsor is THE fabulous Bugaboo Stamps and the winner will receive 7 images of their choice. Here is my inspiration for you:
I just love this sweet little snowman. He's so cute and the hat and scarf are perfect for paper piecing. Love it! The plaid paper was in my scraps pile. All I had to do was trim off about 1/2 inch from one end. The paper for the hat and scarf was also in that pile. So, two scrap pieces used up; love it when that happens.
TIP: You can use your dies for embossing only! Use your die with an embossing pad as I did with the snowflakes on the red layer. It doesn't cut, it just embosses the paper.
Now it's your turn to get a jump start on your Christmas cards and come play along with us. Can't wait to see what you create.
