Holiday Hugs (And Some Blog Candy Too!)

Hi everyone!  Happy Saturday!

I finally was able to sit down and stamp!  YAY!  It felt SO weird to not stamp for an entire week...I don't think that has ever happened before.

While I was under the weather, I missed the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch from this past Wednesday, MFTWSC46.  I'm so mad...this was the first one I've missed all year.


I am in LOVE with the new Pure Innocence Holiday Hugs Snowman from My Favorite Things...and I have a feeling you all love him too, as he is currently being restocked.  I stamped him, colored him with Copic Markers and then paper pieced his scarf.  All of the patterned paper is Be Merry from My Minds Eye.

The sentiment, "Holiday Hugs" was stamped onto a panel cut with the Oval Tab Die-Namics.  One of my favorite things about clear stamps is that you can bend them, as I did in this case, so that it followed the lines of the die-cut.  I added a border with the FAB new Icicle Border Die-Namics, and then added a fun little snowflake embellishment cut with the Let It Snowflake Die-Namics out of both patterned paper and acetate.  I topped that off with a paper button cut with the Button Quartet Die-Namics tied with some Honeydew Twine.

I added a tag with the Notched Tag Die-Namics and the sentiment, "Stay Cool!" is from Pure Innocence Snowboard Boy, also just released from MFT!


For the inside I added some more patterned paper, along with another sentiment from Pure Innocence Holiday Hugs Snowman, "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas".  I added another snowflake embellie created with the Let It Snowflake Die-Namics.


Here are the Die-Namics I've used on my card today:





Now, I am in a happy mood today as I am spending the day with Edward...well, sorta.  I am seeing Breaking Dawn twice.  Yay!!  To spread some happiness, I have some blog candy to give away!  How about this SUPER cute Pure Innocence Holiday Hugs Snowman?  And...just cause Edward makes me SO very happy...how about the Icicle Border Die-Namics?  Yep...those would sure make me happy :)  For you chance, simply leave a comment here!  I'll choose a winner next Saturday, November 26 and post it here!

Thanks SO much for looking!
