An old favorite for FMS!

I'm still cranking out those Christmas cards, how about you? I'm also using up bits and pieces left over from last year and reaching for some older stamps. You know like those favorite Christmas decorations we bring out each year!

This little snowman by PSX was one of the first Christmas stamps I bought over twenty years ago! I popped him onto some PTI snowflakes, cut last year, that I layered over some MB patterned paper. I used Jen's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches changing her squares to my oval and snowflakes. I don't think she'll mind! The pretty embossed background is one Michele made me on our last visit to Michigan. Which, by the way, was too long ago!

Okay, off this goes to the FMS gallery and off I go to my wee studio for more creating on this rainy gloomy day!

You took the words right out of my brain - MUCH too long ago and there are MANY new embossing folders to be found!
I love your little snowman and you've created a magical place for him to hang out for the Winter, Lisa! So darling - Jen is going to LOve your non-square card!

This adorable snowman fits perfectly on the snowflakes, Lisa! Pulling out those old, well loved stamps is like reuniting with Christmas ornaments. Almost time.....

I love all the patterns and layers on your card, Lisa. They coordinate beautifully with the colorful banner that darling snowman is holding.

He's still got it! Even after 20 years!! Your card is adorable Lisa. Such fun layers of snowflakes and pretty colors to boot. I just pulled out my wooden Christmas stamps yesterday too. I'm glad the fun never ends when we dig deep into our older stash.

This is such a wonderful interpretation of Jen's sketch. And I am inlove with that MB paper - thanks ever so much for sharing. That embossed background is so pretty with the large snowflakes and the plaid and floral papers with a touch of gold. LOVE that little snowman. I believe I have that stamp too! Gotta dig way deep into the stash!
