Christmas in July continues as I try to beat the heat making winter themed cards! I am working toward filling a large flat rate priority box for Operation Write Home's Early Bird Card Challenge to help our shippers get a head start on the winter/Christmas rush. I liked this card enough to make 24 total for the box! Yay me!
So glad you took the time to stop in...your comments are always welcomed!

This adorable snowlady is from the July new releases over at Doodle Pantry called Quirky Snowmen. The set includes 3 different snowpeople with corresponding sentiments. I chose to use the digitally colored version (thanks Laurie!) but they all come in outline form for those of you who like to customize your images. The patterned paper is included in the set and I just love how Laurie used a similar pattern in the hat and scarf so it actually looks like I paper pieced it! (wink wink) I don't normally post such a large picture but I wanted you to be able to see the shine of Glossy Accents that I added to her nose, twigs, and buttons - it really does add some dimension in real life.
As many of you know it has been my goal for 2012 to use all of the Operation Write Home sketches and this one is Sketch #38. I have found that deciding what sketch to use before I print my images really helps me to be able to size them to fit the sketch and thus make the best use of my ink and cardstock. Love that!
Here is the sketch:
