Hi there-
This is likely my last post for the year, except for Christmas Day. I am going to make soups, bake, watch movies, and nap. We are usually travelling to see family this time of year and are busy. Since this is what we are handed this year, I am going to enjoy the slower pace.
I bought this snow-family stamp last year and I just love it. Hard not to love a snowman stamp. They remind me of fun times as a child playing in snow before we moved to Southern California. Snow is still magical to me.
I stamped on mix media paper and used Arteza real brush pens along with a water brush. The color did not move well, until I added water first to the paper then dabbed on the color from the marker. I thought the mixed media paper might react like Bristol, but no. Still it worked out. I'm not sure what occasion I'll be using this for, so for the moment it has no sentiment.

adorable snow family - enjoy your relaxing days - what kind of soups are you making?
Just darling!
Enjoy your relaxing! I do think making lemonade out of lemons is the way to go.
Beautifully colored, Cat - it's like a little painting!! Enjoy your holidays!!
I'm betting your Dad is going to be so sad about not seeing you at Christmas - your friend, too. But I'll be very happy knowing you and your sweetie will be home, safe, and sound!
I adore your snow family, Cat. So sweet, and beautifully colored! If I were to write a sentiment for this it would be: 'There's SNOW family like ours... even though we've DRIFTED apart!'
Merry Christmas sweet friend!

What a sweet little card, lovely snowman family. Enjoy you wonderful relaxing break. I think there is something to be said for just taking it easy at home and switching off from outside pressures - enjoy. January will be here soon enough xx
Your card is as magical as your memories - very fun!
This is a sweet card and I agree about snowmen! Hoping your next few weeks are filled with contentment as you make the best of the situation we are finding ourselves. See you in 2021... and how happy we will be to welcome a New Year!
Wow--what a wonderful card, Cat! Your coloring is amazing, so it sure did work out! Since we get very little snow, it's always a treat to me--especially since I'm retired & not worried about getting to & from work! Wishing you & hubs a wonderfully relaxing, peaceful holiday with hope for 2021! Hugs, Greta
That's the cutest little snow family! Your coloring turned out great after all. In most parts of the US there will be snow around for quite a while, so you'll have plenty of time and opportunity to send this card. It's so adorable! I like your idea of kicking back, doing holiday things. I'm planning the same and probably won't blog. Not sure yet. Playing it by ear. Happy holidays, Cat!
What an adorable snowman family CAT x. Enjoy your downtime x.
A fun and festive snow people card! Merry Christmas!
Adorable card, Cat! Love your snowman family! Happy Holidays to you!
I love the touches of color, Cat! Thanks for playing along with us at CASology!
Here in Calgary we got a BIG dump of snow (about 14") a few days before Christmas... can we be done now? Great little snowfamily! I hope you enjoyed your break! Thanks for playing along with us at CASology!
