Tim Holtz Blueprint Snowman..

 Here's another blueprint card - I made a couple of these, quick and easy to do. 

I stamped the snowman twice, once direct onto the card base, then onto a scrap of white cardstock, which I cut out without the twiggy arms. The colouring was really simple to do, and I popped the cut out body over the stamped base. It just needed something down the side to finish it, so I used a dot border stamp by Papertrey Ink, those little dots and the snowman's hat and scarf have been coated with Wink of Stella clear glitter pen....

I guess it's almost time for me to start writing some of these cards I have been making - we are off to do a spot of baby sitting next week, well, child sitting to be more accurate, Max and Milo need looking after while their mum and dad do a spot of Christmas shopping in New York, so I think it would be a good idea to take the cards and my address book down with me, one job to score through on the check list.

How many of you are going to do a bit of retail therapy today? Black Friday seems to have mysteriously made it's way across the Atlantic, of course we don't have Thanksgiving here, but we do like an excuse to shop. The sales have a long way to go before they catch up with the USA of course - how I loved Black Friday. I even bought a couple of mysterious items in plain cardboard boxes in Macy's because they were 'door busters' and people were knocking each other over to get them, so even though I had no clue what I was buying, I had to have them. (In case you are wondering, the boxes contained very expensive saucepans and saute pans that I bought for some ridiculously low price. I didn't need them, but I loved them!) 

Thanks for all the get well wishes, I feel a lot better today, there is a hint of a spring in my step and I may even get dressed! See you tomorrow x
