Chanukah Snowman: WM Style

My friend Cathy from Empty Nest Crafters and I made a card together today for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge WMSC74.

Meet Golda, an Irish-Jewish female snowman, made in sunny Southern California--here to wish you a Happy Chanukah.

Golda

Cathy cut and stamped the snowman with WM Nordic Winter. Then she sent the snowman to me for the finishing touches. She even sent me her WM Flourishes- Scallops and Dots set, which I used to create the background and the snowdrifts. Great teamwork, right?

Chanukah Snowmen

I finally got a chance to play with my new snowman dies, and, wouldn't you know it, my coordinating stamp set decided to play hide and seek with me. Fortunately, my good friend Cathy from Empty Nest Crafters was kind enough to loan me her set for a bit. I don't have any stamping friends close by to hang out with, but having a generous friend who is 1 day away by USPS is the next best thing.

I decided to make a few Chanukah Snowmen (or Snowwomen) cards. I have given each of them a Yiddish name, just for fun.

I am entering these cards into this week's Passion for Papertrey challenge, which is to make a card for the holidays using at least one Papertrey product. My snow people and I would like to send wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy Chanukah to all our European Papertrey friends.
