 Hi There -

I am back at it in my craft room, playing with some new stamps, stencils and dies. I am still working through the thank you's I need.

These sweet snowmen are visiting Inspired By Challenge, and Fourseasons - Winter Season.

Some of you might recognize, that I picked up Waffle Flower's Postage Collage Die bundle which has a lot of good stuff. The sentiment is part of a Stampin Up paper pumpkin set I think...it was randomly included in a gift.

I kept the postage stamp collage stencils, dies and stamps out to play along with Color Hues #78 and a new Challenge in blogland called Word Power  hosted by Darlene and Dianne. The challenge calls for the sentiment to take center stage. They now have a line up of NINE challenges.

Thanks so much for visiting!

I've seen so many cute things done with the postage sets. I don't know if the snowmen are part of it, but they sure are cute and I love your arrangement! Perfect choice for the blues challenge. Your Word Power card is perfect, too, with the big sentiment front and center backed up by all those wonderfully fun patterns. It sure is good to see you back in your craft room, Cat!

Both of these are wonderful. Those snowmen postage stamps are absolutely delightful. I wish you could actually buy them for postage.

Oh Cat, your cards are just AWESOME! LOVE your happy snowman card ... the design is fabulous and showcases these cuties perfectly ... thanks for sharing it over on our Four Seasons Challenge.
Your second card is EXACTLY what we are looking for over on our newest challenge adventure at Word Power ... thanks for the awesome shout out, we appreciate your support and help in spreading the word.
That postage stamp collage stencil/die/stamp set is everywhere and I love that they all look different one from the other. I know my partner Diane has it and just LOVES it. Great job and thanks again for joining in the fun at our WORD POWER challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

I'm happy to report that these darling snowdudes have arrived safely and delivered the BIGGEST smile, Cat! Just love them, how you've arranged your stamps, and managed to have the perfect snow-face for that IB challenge!
THANKS is the most powerful of all for this new Word Power Challenge - you may have me bringing my collage out for another play! wink.

It is so nice to see snowmen on a card that is not Christmas. I have admired that waffle flower set too, but don't own it. I shall look forward to seeing what else you make. Glad to hear you are back in your craft room. If these cards are anything to go by, your mojo is back. Long may it continue xx

Every one of the fabulous cards I see made with these collage dies and stamps tempts me over and over again. I love yours with all the blues, and your inspiration is not helping me control my purchases! I also love your three little snowmen-perfect for the single stamps! Thanks for sharing your talent with us at Color Hues!
