Just us Girls #702 and I built a Snowman - or four!

My weekend was spent elbow deep in paper and ink - sounds perfect, doesn't it?  A new little wreath arrived from Pigment Craft Co. through Scrapbook.com and I couldn't wait to put this to work for Just us Girls #702 and Ina's lovely mood board:


Here are my inks:


And my wreath - isn't it the perfect fit for the circle in this debossed panel?


I did mention building a snowman - thank goodness that only involved ink and paper!!!

You'll see that I'm not wasting one bit of that panel used to cut this next panel:

Take note that there also wasn't one mention of that four-letter word!
I love these PTI Simply Snowmen!

My Christmas cards are taking a great deal of time per card - it's now time to find a few designs that are quicker to put together for my seniors or I will never meet my personal goal!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Your wreath is absolutely beautiful Michele and I just LOVE the way your colors are blended on those leaves...soooooo pretty!! They really POP against all that lovely embossed white!! And how could I not love all four of those sweet snowmen?! And they're the paper kind...those are my favorite!! You're making me wonder why I didn't get that set...might have to borrow it sometime!! Wonderful cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Oh that wreath is just perfect. Love it. Your snowmen are pretty special too and I am pleased to hear you say you need to find some less time consuming designs to meet your goal. Making them should be a pleasure not a stress because of the time constraints that we all have xx

Sweet wreath! And I love twofers - don't waste a smidge of that pretty die cut! And your snowmen are snazzy in their plaids and stripes! (Snazzy is one of my favorite words!)

Hard to believe there has been no s word around here yet, either. But that may change by Sunday! I know we'll have to deal with it sometime, but I want to enjoy the lovely fall weather longer! Your cards are outstanding. Love the unique snowmen and the textured backgrounds you've created. Delightful in every way!

The colors on your fall wreath are stunning Michele! The wreath really pops off the debossed background. CAS perfection. The snowmen cards are adorable and they're the kind I like. Paper!! I hope you meet your goal to get all your cards done. I have no doubt that you will.

There is something about bold and simple that really is appealing and your dainty wreath is just that. As for your snowmen cards, I can see why you like them so, they have a fun Tim Holtz vibe to them! Good luck meeting your quota! Thanks for playing at Just Us Girls too!
