Friday morning, only a week before Thanksgiving here in the US, and many states and cities have already had snow. That seemed to be a good reason to celebrate "Snowmen" in our new weekly challenge at QKR Stampede.
QKR has so many adorable snowmen in its collection but I chose this one, Digi 13004 "Winter Friends" and paired it with Digi 13804 "Cold Hands" for the sentiment. I used my ProMarkers to color the image and then used a scalloped border die from Spellbinders to cut one side of it. The sentiment is hand cut and inked on the edges.
The background dp is from the "Winter Magic" stack by DCWV. I added the striped ribbon, lacing it through the scallops and then added the sentiment piece over the ribbon by using dimensional dots. It's a pretty simple design which looks more complex because of the patterns in the dp and the ribbon.

The weekend is here already - can you believe it? This will be the last one I have to get things ready for Thanksgiving. Tomorrow, I'm spending the day (and night) with my granddaughters, getting the last bits and final touches of costumes sewn for their big day at our local Comicon.
It's been a project which has taken up the greater part of two weekends and several weekday afternoons but I've had so much fun spending that time teaching the first steps in sewing. Nothing like picking a very complex costume pattern for the first sewing project! But, then, that's my granddaughter. Tackle big projects with absolute faith that they can be accomplished. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
I used colors from the inspiration photo at City Crafter.

You paired perfectly with the snowman with gloves and that sentiment about the cold hand/warm heart. Nice job coloring the sky and snow. Your running ribbon is very attractive. You sound very busy but I your time is very well spent with those adventurous granddaughters of yours. Hope they enjoy Comicon.
Such a cute cute snowman Connie!! You've done a stunning job with the color combo too!! Wishing you a fabulous Thanksgiving Holiday my friend!! Enjoy your family!! Hugs & Smiles - *Vicki*
