This sketchy guy is really pushing the limits - of this sketch challenge......I waited up till the sketch came up - well...sort of fell asleep with the laptop, in my lap....woke up at like 12:50am, saw that it was up -took a quick look at the sketch, thought, oh, I can remember that, ran up to my stamp room, stayed up till 1:44am making this guy- I have always wanted to make this HEAD snowman with a body - this guy is just the head in that Christmas set, Big on Christmas,he desperately neeeeeded a body (and yes,I have to work 10 hours today.....C-R-A-Z-Y .......then when I got done I thought too late to post, I'll do it in the morning......and then this morning I looked at the sketch again and thought, oh well, he is a sketchy snowman, pushing the limits. I named him Nelson. Hope you like him!! Now all day I will be reminded by Nelson that I am not as young as I used to be and four hour nights are not bright at my age. Oh well, it's a blessing to have a hobby you love this much, right??

I love your snowman with a body. I have a few without a body and they are neat too. But you did this one justice now Karen. Kept the sketch in beautiful colours too. Wow ribbon.
Won't be going bed late tonight I gather...did I miss the snowman memo...

Everything about this card is adorable...from your sketchy snowman and his cute, cute buttons to your choice of papers. Snowmen were a big theme today! : )
