Since I've finished with all my assignments from Spellbinders, I think I'll finish out this month with some snowman cards!
Today's card features the new Tim Holtz set released at Simon Says Stamp in December as a limited edition, and sold out now. It's called Be of Good Cheer, and it included the heads of a Santa (used HERE) and this snowman. I gave him a body and brought in some supporting dies that are also retired to mix with him, taking a page out of Tim's book, to just play with what I have.
supplies: colored cardstocks to piece snowman, woodgrain cardstock, Whimsy Stamps Blurry Flurries dp, Simon (retired) Birch Circle die, cardinals from (retired) Imression Obsession Birch Tree dies, Tim Holtz Be of Good Cheer snowman and snowflakes, arms from Tim Holtz (retired) Dec 22 Chilly and Freezy snowmen, a circle die for his body, sentiment sticker from Idealogy Christmas Stickerbook
I have a large collection of snowmen that I put out at this time of year, mostly in my dining room on the mantle. Most of them are stuffed, but there is a tall skinny metal one, another made of wood, and a few ceramic ones. I mix in various sizes of pine trees, also made of various materials. I made a good many of them years and years ago, and they still make me smile, especially when I get them out from storage in the basement, and some of their glued-on clay noses have fallen off!

Your snowmen are so cute! Snowmen are such a perfect decoration for the winter months. They provide a lot of cheer after the holidays.
