Today's challenge was Christmas in July. Two cards influenced my card. I saw this one last Fall, and planned to case it to make my cards, but we ended up selling our house in October and moving in December, so I sent out Change of Address cards instead! KC Vanilla Snowy Lady by kittie747 at Splitcoaststampers
I also used this Zindorf card as an influence: Warm Wishes & Flaky Friends by Zindorf at Splitcoaststampers
I stamped Ms Mann, then masked her and stamped the trees and snow and clear embossed them. Then colored Ms Mann and then masked her again and sponged the sky and background.
I have always loved snowmen! When I lived in Michigan, we had the opportunity to build many. Here in Arizona it is supposed to get as hot as 114 today! We could use a little of that snow, but it wouldn't last long at all!
Thanks for looking!

Oh, I am a snowman lover, also. This is just beautiful as were your inspiration cards. Your sky and bg are just perfect and I love those mittens. Wish I had time to join in today. Didn't but I saw this come across the gallery and had to comment. Love it!

I am totally loving your bg! What a fabulous scene you've created to go along with sweet Ms. Mann. It's absolutely gorgeous and so beyond anything I could ever dream about doing!

Yes, I have to admit, much to my chagrin, I do occasionally watch Dog the Bounty Hunter. Why, I have no idea. Most likely, I think, it's because of the way she dresses .. it's too unbelievable to miss!
