The theme of the blog hop is "Celebrating Friends". I am so fortunate to have such fabulous friends in my life. I decided to make a special Christmas card for one of my friends - a friend with whom I can be totally silly and who always makes me laugh.
The sweet little snowman image is from Birdie Brown (a freebie this month). I'm quite challenged with colouring, but decided a white snowman might work for me!! I printed off and coloured an extra image - hand cutting the hat and nose and then popping them on the main image for a bit of added dimension. I used a Stampin' Up tree stamp to create the border at the bottom. The fun sentiment is from Robin's Creative Cottage - with a tiny snowman stamp from My Craft Spot's Stampin' Around Christmas set. He's so cute!! I finished things off with some wonderful baker's twine from My Craft Spot.
One of the best things about celebrations is presents! To celebrate Tammy's blogaversary, I will be giving away a $15 gift certificate to My Craft Spot. To qualify, please leave a comment on this post. If you are a follower of my blog, feel free to leave an extra comment telling me so for an extra entry. I will announce my winner on Wednesday.
Tammy also has TWO grand prizes available on her blog, Beyond Measure. To be eligible for her prizes, leave a comment at each of the blogs on this hop (see list below).

I love this card, especially his big head and the touch of red!
No doodles? No Cricut cuts? Is this really you, Kate. I do love your little snowman though, and the sentiment is spot on. :)
