This is surely an oldie but goldie stampin up set from 1998 called Whoosh snowman. I will always remember the first year I got it, I made all our Christmas cards.. they were so awful, I'd be embarrassed to show all you fine card crafters.. but I will show the picture of my little darlings that I added in it.. It was a homemade picture card, so I had our kiddos decked out with matching scarfs and hats. I can't believe that was nearly 20 years ago. My how time really truly "whooshes" by. Just think our kids our both in their twenties now. I keep this sweet little picture frame up all year round. It has taken a few tumbles from the bookshelf. But it's holding together.
The card is quite simple, I really like the background paper. I just tore the white snow hill, someday I will invest in those amazing dies that create the lovely snow, grass hills, but for now, the old fashion tear method has to work for me. I colored in the snowman and cut him out carefully as not to take off the skis and poles.
I will be submitting this card to the following challenges:
Our theme for the new challenge is
"Snowmen"
"Snowmen"
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping

I like this! Great snowman, great colouring - and it to keep those poles and skis the fussy cutting must have been time consuming - and the background paper is so festive and pretty. The sentiment made me laugh! Thanks for joining us again at Retro Rubber Challenge, PJ.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! I love seeing older stamps that were before my time with SU. Perhaps they will bring a similar rubber stamp back into their line up! Thank you so much for sharing with Retro Rubber! Hope to see you often in the New Year! Merry Christmas...
