Noooooooooooo! I don't mean it really - only on cards and films and maybe a touch on Christmas day, but not enough to make it difficult for everyone to visit their loved ones.
As you may have already guessed our theme this week at Bah! Humbug! is Snowmen - a favourite theme of mine. There are just so many gorgeous stamps and digis around. Everytime I think I can't possible need anymore I see something irresistable.
The stamp I've used this week was actually a carboot bargain buy. It's a 1999 vintage Penny Black and only cost a pound! How lucky was I to find it lurking under a pile of decoupage sheets on a stall?
I've used double sided designer paper with burgandy trees on which I thought echoed the trees on the stamp and the other side of the paper to matt and layer on. I've also used the plain side to create die cut Marianne snowflakes.
The glitter on the card doesn't show up that well in the photo, but I used fine glitter on the trees and Diamond Dust around the snowmen's feet and it really does sparkle.
My card is also for the challenges at...
- Crafter's Companion Monthly Challenge - Let it Snow
- 4 Crafty Chicks - die cuts
- Crimbo Crackers - Anything Goes
Have a good weekend all.

Great card Ann. Love the colours and the stamp. Not much chance of finding any second-hand stamps here on Crete I'm afraid.
Oh Ann what a cute card! Can we add about 3 more members on it? Then it would be perfect for my holiday mail outs! ;) Beautiful job, and yes - I agree. Not ready for the snow yet although it's been so cold already here in the NE! Have a great weekend Ann!

Gosh that really was a lucky find and a bargain - I just love what you've done with it
Hi Ann
What a lucky find at the car boot sale. You have done a wonderful job with the image, and I really like the backing paper. I have packed all my winter wollies to cope with the drafty corridors of Humbug Hall!
How on earth do you find stamps like that at a car boot!! We don't have them over here, they have "garage sales" instead and you have to drive round looking for them, much better to go to one place though. Love the card colours, that's beautiful paper you've used, matches the stamp perfectly.
Hugs

Next time I visit ... and there will be a next time! ... I INSIST you take me to the car booty so we can fight over the bargains lol! This is a fabulous find and you've teamed it up beautifully with that paper and just enough luvverly sparkle.
Luv'n'Stuff
