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??

Look at the warmth of this card -the colors really make you feel toasty, and then there are those adorable mittens!!!!! Nelson - cute name. Kind of reminds me of Wilson - the soccer ball, Tom Hanks had on the island.
4 hours of sleep. There are a lot of crazy stampers out there. :>) Hope you get through your day okay.

LOL! Thanks for the giggles, Karen, about falling asleep with your laptop and waking up to the sketch challenge! I love your adorable Nelson with his sweet mittens, buttons, and gingham scarf....TOTALLY adorable!! And that bow with holly embellishment----perfection! You "done real good" for a late night. I have to force myself to go to bed early Tuesday night so I can get up early Wednesday morning to do mine before work. I don't know which is worse: staying up late or getting up early. :-) Why do we have to work anyway?

LOL, I've done that with the sketches too - but usually when I look at them before work, and am so sure I don't need to remind myself when I get home.
Snowman memo. I must be on the wrong list, or have fallen off ;-).
Love Nelson and his buttons.
