I love ALL snowmen stamps. That is one of my weaknesses. Snowmen stamps!!  I've had this snowman stamp for quite awhile. Its by Purple Onion Designs. I love all of their stamps!!

For the songbook that the middle snowman is holding, I googled "Silent Night" and printed off this image of the words and I paper pieced it to the book. I used Stampin Up glitter for the snow.

The sentiment stamp is an oldie but goody from Amuse ArtStamps (when they were still wood stamps).

I am entering the following challenges for this card:

Just Sitting here thinking of you

I love this new stamp set from My Favorite Things.

I made this for the challenge at Case this Sketch #200

This Christmas may peace and hope fill your life and joy fill your heart.

This is for the challenge at Open-Minded Crafting Christmas/Hanukkah #11.

I used an Art Impressions stamp and I scored 3 lines at the bottom of the card. I watercolored it using my Koi watercolors. 

Birthday Fish

I'm needing some birthday cards for December and January so I thought I better get busy and start making some. I've had this funny fish stamp for quite awhile and I always love him on a card.

Challenges:
Paper Players Challenge #PP323
Challenge #136 (use dies and/or punches on card) at Addicted to Stamps
Get Creative - Birthday #53
Hiding in My Craft Room - Any holiday

Fish stamp: Art Impressions
Sentiment: TAC

For the "glaze" on the cake, I used Sun & Moon glaze. I love this stuff and I buy it on ebay. It goes on very easy and it never bubbles up like some other brands I've tried. I colored the card using my Tombow watercolor markers and water. I used Stickles on the candles.
