You’ve lost your mitten?

Only the first of November and this cute snowman has already lost a mitten!   I did find with the girls in their growing up years that when it was time to go outside we needed lots of mittens and we were glad we had radiators/hot water heat.  They always had mittens laying on them drying!  I made a front panel step card and used CC Designs Cutters dottie trim and clouds dies for snow!  I LOVE it!  I was inspired to use the clouds for snow by this card that Jay Jay created, it’s on her blog HERE.  Then the adorable NEW Mittens die to go with the adorable NEW snowman!  It embosses the lines too!  I filled them in with white pen.  Hero Arts little clear gems here and there just add so much!

oh Yes,  were just going to ask about the sentiments?  They are NEW this month too!  Snowman Sayings!  You will want them… I can here you groaning… lol!    Pure Winter FUN!

I had to use the new Tim Holtz mini tree die…it’s a great size!  whoo hoo!  Cosmo Cricket 6×6 Winter pad from last year… is it called Mitten Weather?  I edged a some of the pieces with the new Twig Distress ink from the Fall Limited Edition set in the store HERE.

I’m linking to the Crafter’s Companion Challenge blog – let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!  Linking to the Cupcake Craftroom Challenge blog – Sweet Christmas… mine is “sweet” Christmas snowman! : )

Tomorrow is day two of the three day November release and Friday will be a special post on the ATS blog, as a reminder that the November release is in the store!   CC Designs stamps and dies just make a gal happy and want to shop! lol

Have a great rest of the day and talk to ‘ya tomorrow!

Just for Christmas FUN!!!

I bought the birdcage….

I think it will be a gift topper….

or maybe hang it on the Christmas tree….

or sell it!  I’m such a hoarder! lol *sigh* or as Jay Jay would type *cough*! lol   (ETA – the poinsettia looks too big for the birdcage here but it really isn’t IRL… I suppose it’s because the cage is leaning back to be photographed.
