Happy Snowman

 

Today is the 9th and it is now time for another The Three Musketeers post. This round, Jeanette is the hostess and she sent out this sweet image from Penny Black called Happy Snowman!  For March,  this is card #127 and we are now in year #12!  I cannot believe this trio has been going strong for 11 strong years!  

I colored the snowman image with my Copic Sketch Markers  The pretty snowflake patterned paper is from a 6x6 paper pack from Mintay called Christmas Blessings.  I added some Lost Lagoon ribbon behind the image.  The sentiment is from my sentiment box, so I am not sure what company it is from.  I added some clay snowflakes from Taylored Expressions around the image. I  I hope Jeanette and Kelly along with you enjoy my card!  

Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of cute cards!  Kelly is up for our April challenge, so please be sure to join us again.

Mintay Christmas Cards Kit

 

I am trying very hard to get some of the kits and virtual classes completed that are on my bookshelf.  I have to admit that many are from 2023, but I even have some from 2021 and 2022.  I have more work to do for sure!

Last October,  on my drive to Taylored Expressions Stamp Joy in Des Moines, I made a stop at Scrapmania in Cedar Rapids.  The store is amazing and is one of the largest store with the most inventory I think I have ever seen.  By the checkout, they have a large round display with many kits and classes they offer.  As I waited to check out, this Mintay White Christmas Cards kit caught my eye.  I love Mintay patterned papers and their Christmas line is always so pretty.  This kit was designed by Nancy McClelland and included all of the components for 12 Christmas Cards.  Every card was in a small paper bag and everything was cut out!  I did add an extra layer of cardstock behind the background patterned paper along with an additional layer behind the sweet middle image.  The sentiments were also included but I did substitute my own for a couple.  

I now set with a dozen more Christmas cards for 2024!
