I'm so far behind I think I'm first....but I really did want to do a couple of Featured Stamper cards...yes, from BEFORE Christmas...
I have had this cute Snowman Card of Benzi's in my faves since the day she posted it. I didn't get a chance to CASE it before Christmas but thought it would be perfect to use as inspiration for my February batch of cards for the CCC10 Christmas challenge. (Can't believe I have actually managed to get cards made for NEXT Christmas!)
Things I changed from Benzi's cute card: changed the fold to the side, different set of nesties, colour scheme and sentiment... Yup, pretty much copied it all Benzi...
Watercoloured the snowman's scarf and hat to match my Costco ribbon. Kept it embellishment free so it can be easily mailed when the time comes. Managed to make eight of these. Yippee!

Wow, Heather, you have been a busy bee today. I just love your CASE of my card. I am glad you participated in my FS week...doesn't matter if it wasn't that day or week. Your scarf and ribbon look awesome together. I love that little snowman so much and your card is super. Thanks for honoring me with this adorable creation.

You're right Heather, perfect card to duplicate and duplicate you did. You're doing so good on your get ahead on Christmas card challenge. I have 6 made so far. Long way to go, but I plan on making at least 5 more this month. I love the little card you picked of Benzi's to case and you did a really great job with it. Looks like sparkly blue paper and I love your image and how the scarf matches the ribbon. What a great tribute to our lil Benzi!! TFS!

P.S. Benz wants to join our VIP Punch Pal group, but I told her she'd have to send each of us a punch for every one she has, except the ones we may already have. So, be on the lookout for a HUGE package from the mailman!! LOL!! Of course, you did see the fake sewing machine she sent me, didn't you? I wouldn't hold your breath for those punches!! LOL!!
