On this card I used the snowman from Winter Memories, including the sentiment. All of these stamps are so cute and very easy for coloring with any type of medium.
On here I used my Watercolor Wonder Crayons from SU! and a blender pen. I didn't start out for a masculine feel to this card, but the colors I chose were going that way!!! So I softened it up with the large circle flower copper brad, organdy and satin white ribbon and small piece of blue embroidery floss.
My colors came from the medium size blue panel as I wanted to try out the Faux Denim technique in the newest Technique Junkie newsletter. So easy to do and I like how this came out!!
My base card is PaperTrey Ink's white, then Creamy Caramel which I ran through my Cuttlebug with the snowflake folder, followed by the Faux Denim piece mounted on Choc. Chip text. and Night of Navy under the main image. The second and third panels are distressed around the edges and I did light sponging around the base card, snowman and the sentiment in Creamy Caramel.
I really like doing the sentiment layers as I feel this really makes the sentiment pop! I did revers paper piercing on the round tab layer and faux stitching on the Brocade Blue circle. Both the second and third panels are up on different size dimensionals for depth.
I used small pom-poms for the hat and his buttons!
Please let me know what you think about this little guy!! He will be off in the morning mail to my vets office for Christmas!! We have had some animal emergencies this year and they have taken great care of them, and us, during those times!!
The sketch I used here is this week's SC on SCS!

I am really liking the stamp set with the turtle and the reindeer. These are very unique designs and I liked the website. I think it has a nice flow to it.
It's a good life!

I adore this snowman from winter wishes and the gallery at tree house is already rockin! I like the ease of the site to navigate, I really hope you can come up with some great boyish stamps, I am so in need of some good ones.
Love the snowman...Winter Wishes would be my fave! Thanks for this chance to win! The site is easy to navigate, and there's a good variety of card samples in the gallery. Free shipping (if you spend $40.00) is a great idea...it's just never available to Canadians! :(
Blessings this Christmas Season!

How fun, Ann! I think the site looks great; I like the easy navigation buttons. I'm a fan of the snowman, so I'd love to get my hands on that set!
I love the featured card of the moose with the hot chocolate. That is a very impressive design team too.
Such fun stamps!! I love how you can pay with paypal too!!
I love your card and love the stamps. They are just to cute. The website is very easy to use.
Thanks for a chance.

Gotta have that moose guy. He is one cutie!
Great job, you gals have done an awesome job on your site and the stamps are A D O R A B L E
I would like the snowman set and I have been to most of the design teams blogs and left comments. The handdrawn look would lend itself to a great doodling stamp set. I like the sayings and the site is easy to get around on. Good work!
I think they are really cute. They are different from what is out there. They don't look manufactured like a lot of stamps that are out right now. They have that hand drawn personal touch.
Ooooh, CUTE!!! Snowball fight is my fav!!! Love the style of the stamps!
What a cute card. I love that you can get free shipping with a 40.00 purchase!
These are super cute. I really like the moose and the gingerbread house!
awesome awesome stuff, cant wait for more sets to appear--that turtle is way to cute.
This really is the greatest!! Thanks for the blog candy chance. I especially love that gingerbread house. It is SO cute!!
Ann, I've always loved your cards!! You are so great at inspiring and making such CUTE stuff!!
My choice is either set (I love them both). I would like to see a bee set for the future...I posted some friendship sayings like,
"Thanks for BEE-ing my friend",
"I'm glad to BEE your buddy",
and "BEE my Valentine", HapBEE Day to you! hahahaha...I'm corny, I know.
