Blog Candy --Thanks Snow Much!

Digi image and sentiment:  From the Heart Stamps 'Little Snowman'.  Cardstock:  SU base, DP:  WeRMemorykeepers 'Winter Frost', sparkle silver..  Ink:  Copics.  Accessories:  SU piercing mat, Martha Stewart snowflake punch, Spellbinders circles.

Just a reminder that we are almost halfway through January (can you believe it?) which means you only have a little over two weeks left to use this month's hilarious 'Little Snowman' digi on a project to earn the next Stamp of the Month for free! This digi is free with any $10 purchase at From the Heart Stamps.   Be sure to post your project HERE to be eligible.

BLOG CANDY:  As a bonus for this month since there is no blog hop, Faith has gifted each of her DT member with a $10 From the Heart Stamps gift certificate for giveaway to one lucky commenter.  I also realized yesterday was my 6 year blogoversary so it's perfect timing! Comment on this blog post by 8 pm CST on Sunday, January 18th and you will be eligible.  I will draw the winner's  name and include it on Monday with my regularly scheduled post!

Challenges entered for this card are:
1)  Sugar Sketch #18 (SPDSS18)
2)  Pile it On #51:  Something edible.  While some kiddos and our Lab may consider the snowman edible, I was thinking more along the lines of the carrot nose.
3)  My Time to Craft: Stripes

Thanks for stopping by!
