Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. Hope you are all having a great week so far.
Tonight's card is one that I made for the Friday Mashup challenge. The challenge was to use snowmen. Well… I can never resist a snowman. As I needed so quick and easy cards, that were post office friendly, I decided to create another hybrid card. I had seen this fabulous little snowman in the Holiday Blitz stamp brush set. I colored him in Not Quite Navy and then printed him out with a sentiment. All that was left to do after that was add some bling and some sparkle. Now, y'all know that I couldn't just leave him as he was 🙂
Isn't he the cutest? I love the fact that you can scale him to any size in order to fit your card. I mixed up basic rhinestones and basic pearls where the snowflakes are on the original printed image. I then ran some glimmer paper through my big shot with my snowflake die, stuck it down… and the card was good to go. I love it on the Not Quite Navy base. TIP: When using the glimmer paper for your big shot or punch, remember to turn the paper over and tear off the plasticy backing that is on the paper. This makes it much easier to go through your big shot.
Now, don't forget to pop along to the Mashup and check out the fabulous design team and submission cards. I know you will find something to inspire you.
Buzbee has been a buzzy… I mean busy little elf and has drawn a name form the blog post here. The lucky winner of the Jaydee give away – glimmer paper is ……
Lizzie Hernandez…… Lizzie please email me your snail mail address and I will get your glimmer paper in the post to you.
So… before Buzbee lets you know what other wonderful goodies you can win on the blog post tonight, let's take a look at what he has been up to.
Well, he was missing for quite a while. I couldn't find him, then I heard this munch, munch, mmmmm, yummy, munch, munch coming from the fridge. Ah. ha! Well, I have to say that he has good taste in goodies. Panetone is a traditional Italian cake and this one is particularly scrumptious. It has a rich chocolate on the outside and lovely gooey custard in the middle. So… he knew what he was doing! Can you believe that he even managed to eat it without getting custard on his face 🙂
So…. what goodies can you win tonight? Well, if more than 12 of you leave a special comment on this blog post, Buzbee and Bilbo will draw one name to win
ONE BRAND NEW PACKET OF SPICE CAKE DESIGNER FABRIC. You can click on the pic below to expand it. You can find details on the SU website here
This prize has a value of over $11 and I will cover shipping. All you need to do is leave a comment and tell me what you want for Christmas. What is that one special thing you want for Christmas. Something small, something big, something you wish for someone else… let us know. You know that we all love reading your comments, so look forward to hearing what you want 🙂 If more than 12 of you leave a special message, then Buzbee and Bilbo will draw a winner on Thursday night.
On a personal note:
I am so glad that the stories of Buzbee are being enjoyed by the kiddies. That makes my day. This all started with Rach! Oh, and Beverly, yep…. I was a great story teller as a child. I still have an overactive imagination, and all I need is a little nudge from someone like Rachel and I am off and running 🙂
Tomorrow is a HUGE day for us. Tomorrow they begin to dig the "hole", or more correctly, the foundations, for our new home. We are so excited and cannot wait to get out to see it next week. Lou is out of town, as usual, so is missing this major milestone, so we will be driving up as soon as he is back. Of course, I will take photos and post them for you 🙂
As always, thank you for visiting my little area of the stamping blogosphere. Your visits, your support and your comments are always very much appreciated.
Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs
Jaydee

Seriously cute card! I have never made hybrid cards…but this convinces me that I should try! Love the added bling! Thanks for playing the Friday Mashup!
You KNOW I’m a sucker for a snowman. ;o) What a fun card. The mixed bling is just perfect. :o)
Congratulations, Lizzie! That glimmer paper is too wonderful!
You’re most certainly welcome for that push off the deep end into the elf world. :oP It is fun, no? I just hope your busy boy left you a bite of that decadent looking cake!
Will you be posting a photo of your hole in the ground? It IS a big milestone.
Ah, what do I want for Christmas? When I was little, I would sit with the catalog and go through the toy section page by page, recording name, item number, price and page number to help Santa out.
Now? Now I just don’t know. I HATE it when people ask me what I want for Christmas as the things I want aren’t necessarily things that are going to happen any time soon–an end to poverty world wide, clean water for those in need, an end to famine and hunger and starvation. I guess just wish for social justice.
Alas, since I don’t see those things happening any time soon, let’s go for some material goods. ;o) Some Copics might be nice. Or, something loverly from Pottery Barn–I could deck my house in Pottery Barn, I really could. I’m in LOVE with their reindeer dinnerware. :o)
Oh, and there is a wonderful artist local to the Blacksburg area who creates marvelous works that look like home–Robert Tuckwiller. I would love one of his prints. Hm. That seems like a long enough list, lol!
Lou, I hope you are traveling safely. May the pigs of “Wreck the Halls” perish quickly. ;o)
Prayers and hugs for those in need.
Love your snowman and all the little accents for snowflakes–very nicely done. I am such a happy subscriber to your blog–so that way I won’t miss a post or a new Buzbee story.
What I want for Christmas, is to have all the family here for our family party. We think it will be the last Christmas my mom will be able to be at home.
If Santa sees fit, I would like a couple of new pans for my kitchen.
I can never have enough snowman stamps…this is really nice. Love the mixed bling. Never thought of mixing them together. I’ve been wanting to replace our couch and thought this Christmas may be it…is Santa reading this???
Too fuuny, the little guy eating your goodies!
For Christmas I would like my two fighting daughters to make up and be friends again. Sadness going on between them. Other than that, anything Stampin’Up! is fine with me!
Hugs,
You’re really enabling me to feel like I should do some digital scrapbooking… err… card making! You make it look so easy!
And I’m really loving Buzbee. I’m creative-to an extent- but you (again) make it look so easy!
So exciting to be breaking ground! Such a fun time! It goes fast.
For Christmas, i would love for people to not overindulge in the commercialism of the holiday and help out those that really need the help. Although, I do have my eye on a cute new laptop bag too. 😉
I pray that everyone enjoys their time with family and friends and that we never forget the real reason for the season!!
Hi Jaydee, Love all that sparkely snow on your card. Thanks for joining our cahllenge this week.
Cheers,

I was just talking about that bread earlier today! I’ve never tried it, but now I’ll be on the lookout for the chocolate covered one! 🙂 I love your snowman; the mix of pearls and rhinestone snow looks wonderful!
This is the first year I haven’t had a real Christmas wish list. I have packages under the tree, but no idea what the husband picked out! So I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised. lol
Thanks so much for the hint on taking the backing off the glimmer paper. Just yesterday I tried to cut out that same snowflake and no matter what I did, it would not cut thru. I had to change what I was using. So, now I know to take the backing off. Wonder why that is that way. Glad to get the mystery solved. My wish for Christmas is a Kindle. Blessings to you.
love the card! blue and white are my favorite holiday card colors!!! laura j
Cute card, love the snow bling. I would like a laptop for Christmas for my craft room, then I would not have to go into other room where computer is to research all the wonderful ideas on cardmaking and of course, Buzbee’s latest excurions. Happy Holidays!
love your snowman card. and Buzbee is a hoot! You always amaze and entertain us!
This is super cute and I love that sparkly Snowflake you added.. How excited to be starting the build on a new home! Great X-Mas gift! Thanks for joining us at the Friday Mashup!
