OH my WORD, I have had a 35 minute PHOTO SHOOT with this SNOW DUDE and he is just not very photogenic, that's all I can say!!! Even after I doctored it up a little, I cannot get a good picture of this guy!! He's SO much CUTER IRL!!! Oh well, I need to get some sleep - maybe I will try to take a better picture tomorrow in sunlight, but for now, I am fading fast and need to get some sleep!!! WONDERFUL colors this week Betty.....LOVE LOVE LOVE this combo!!! Happy Tuesday everyone!! PS, This snow dude HAD feet, but that is just plain WRONG, HELLO, snowmen do NOT have FEET, so I kinda cut off his feet. No wonder Norman wasn't in the mood for pictures, eh???? (Did I mention his name is Norman??)
After I posted this I took a "few" more pictures, and drumroll......Happy to announce, on picture number 4,395, I kinda finally like this picture, and I'm NOT GONNA try to take a better one tomorrow.....I am just gonna stick a fork in this one, it's DONE!!!!!

Karen, this card is just perfection! I love the wonderful shading you have done and the sparkle, and the snow, and the border punch... All done to perfection! Into my favs.

Oh my gosh!!!!................I guess we were on the same page..........Same Snowman, same colour. BIG button........lol..........I was almost looking for a tiny sentiment to hang from the button, but since I did that on a card yesterday, I decided to leave it off. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your Background and I have to agree that he looks better without the boots......I love how you did your ribbon and lacy border........You must have been channeling snow dude vibes my way!!!

Karen, I can't believe how dimensional your snowman is! Your watercoloring is amazing, as ever! Yeah, what's with the feet? I come from Alaska and practically have a degree in Snow and Snowmen Studies and I have never come across one in the wild with boots!!!

I find the camera lies regarding color and sparkle. Sometimes getting the right photo takes longer than makiing the card!! This is adorable....great use of the colors!
