Frosty & Friends: Blogger's Challenge

 Oh, I have had a fun few days off.  I made about 10 dozen cake balls for hubby's work as well as a Best Chocolate Sheet Cake Ever from Pioneer Woman.  I squeezed in a few cards (like this one) and a few naps as well.  Was enjoyable for me and looking forward to a few weeks from now when I get a few more days off.

Today is Blogger's Challenge and Lisa has given us the theme of "Frosty & Friends".  When I came across this free digital image from Dilly Bean Designs I knew it would be perfect for this week.

I used this fun sketch from My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #49 this week.

I've been going a little nuts with this Echo Park Season's Greetings patterned paper.  I bought a few packs of Christmas paper this year and I NEVER seem to use it all, so I've been trying to use up a lot more than I have in the past.

 

  

I colored my snowmen with my copics and sponged some color around so they weren't so stark white.  I left the card with no sentiment this week, so I could add one on if I wanted to.  Now that I'm looking at this image, it would be a perfect one for my family of 5 on our Christmas cards :-)

Hope you will join us for some fun over at Blogger's Challenge this week, you can link up over at Lisa's blog here.  Please only current creations, no backlinking to previous work.

Going Grey with Scrap-Creations theme for this week is to use digital images & digital papers on your creations.  While I'm not a huge digi user, I have collected my fair share of them from attempting to digital scrapbook.

Today, Kristen is also having a give-away on her blog.  Tell her who your top 3 favorite digital image companies are and she'll randomly draw a winner next week for a $10 gift certificate to your favorite digital store.

I just happened to come across these fabulous digital images the other day from Dilly Beans Digi Stamps and probably could have bought so much more than I did, but I picked one that I kept on going back to, Framed Friday with Skull.  These printed beautifully and was so fun to color!  You can't tell too well from the picture, but my background paper is digital as well.

I've used the current Lily Pads Card Sketch for this.
