Snowball Fight! and....what to do with your leftover Pumpkin.........

I love the snow- not the cold.......I love the snowmen that survive the weather after the snowstorms- I have so many fun memories building snowmen with my kids and with my siblings growing up.  I decided to make my little snowman in the Snow Shepherd Family stamp set from FCD to have a sibling to have a snowball fight with.  I stamped the image on acetate, then turned it over and stamped the image again on the reverse side of the acetate.  Viola- partner in crime created!  I colored directly on the acetate with Faux Copics (my Bic markers). I added a dot of glue and Polar White Flower Soft (also from FCD) for the snowballs.  The DP is from the target Dollar Spot, and I made the design using the Technique Junkies Herringbone Technique from the latest TJ newsletter.  I added the snowflake punched with a martha Stewart punch and a piece of acetate. I dabbed on versamark and embossed the snowflake with Irridescent Ice EP.  I put stickles on the snowmen hat . I finished off the card by sewing a Zig-Zag around the edges.

My husband is fascinated by squirrels. He has taken the pumpkin form Halloween, hollowed it out and placed it on our back deck just outside of the kitchen windows.  He puts dried corn kernels from his families farm in the center of the pumpkin- so the squirrels crawl in to get the corn.  It keeps him amused and i cannot complain.  Look how...well fed this squirrel is.........

Thanks for stopping by!
