Papertrey's Blog Hop called for making something inspired by your holiday decor. Originally I was going to do something with presents, a tree, or lights. After my eldest nephew Jack drew this picture, his uncle (my husband) and his grandparents voted that the drawing should be the inspiration piece. Can you believe that my nepew is only in Kindergarten and drew these fabulous snowmen and snowflakes!!! It was easy to decide to use Holiday Button Bits since it is my favorite set this season. You would have thought Jack had seen the set, but he was inspired by the book Snowflake Bentley and some cool "holiday specs" that make images of snowmen when you look at holiday lights. They are pretty cool! I used the snowflake from Vintage Picnic to make the background. I stamped everything with Memento black and used a Memory Box card for the base with Bazzill paper for the next layer. I colored the snowman with Prisma pencils and added a little bling with Spica pens on the nose and twig arms. Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment for me or for Jack. I'll be sure to pass along comments from all of Jack's fans!
P.S. Thanks also to my friend Jeff who took the photo for me tonight!
