Snowman-itis!

I don't know what else to call this? I don't even know how to spell it..... But it's a condition that I have been stricken with ~ well, shoot! I guess I come down with it EVERY year, 'bout this time...

SNOWMAN-ITIS!



I got my "snowman" ON and made some tags for Dawn's Inspire Me #4 challenge right here!



There's still TIME! C'mon, play with me! Make some tags, any kind you want! {You don't have to suffer from snowman-itis to play! tee hee} Anyway, check out what some of the other gals have made ~ Ca-ute!

In the meantime, here come some individual shots. I have to warn you, that I may have broken some serious laws here, as this is some scary-paper-piecing, and other than a lil' bit of inky edges, NO STAMPING! I got SUPER busy with the tiny shapes, playing with my teeniest of punches and enjoying my close-up vision {while I still have it! Doh!}... You may think I'm STEALING these images from Cosmo Cricket... Well, let's just say I was INSPIRED by the one sheet I have of Jolly by Golly Elements.... ONE sheet. Did I mention that? *sob* So, of course, I can't CUT it!!! The sad truth is that I helped myself to a FAT order of nearly all the pieces in this collection back in AUGUST..... from a company that I shall not name.... But I have YET to receive it! {I KNOW!} So I treated myself to this one sheet from a LSS and I have a small pad that I bought, recently, to pacify myself... But if I don't get the rest of my order soon... I'm going to be very, VERY sad. ANYWHOOOO! I have the elements sheet winking at me from a clip right in the heart of Scrapland... Ah, inspiration! I just got into the fun of snowman (and woman) construction from staring and staring at these DARLING images!

Hi!

Thank you for teaching me that kissing a snowman could be so dangerous! You could put an eye out with that nose! Is hard when your friends are all flakes ya know.
I will be checking out your links tomorrow, tonight I should be asleep. Have to muster up and work at the store in the am. Love your snowbuddies E. They are all delightfully delish! Oz

LeAnne said...

Oh, is that what you call it? Snowmanitis???? I think I have that too! I love all your creations--especially using that Jolly by Golly paper! Woohoo! The snowflake catcher is my fav, but they are all adorable!

These tags are just adorable, every one of them! I LOVE the kissing pair, entangled with their noses and embracing! You're too clever!!!! You did a fantastic job of paper piecing, and if I was waiting since August for an order, I'd be totally frustrated!!!

You are off the hook, girl! Those snow people are incredible! So sweet, the kissing ones! I can't take it!

Yesterday one of my girls wanted to "scrapbook all day long"! made my heart happy, but that meant mommy didn't get to get a thing done because she needs so much *assistance*.....it's all good, though. She scraplifted my latest card....adorable!

Oh my GOSH!!! Just when I thought you couldn't get any funnier.... there you go!!! First all the tags are just too darn stinkin' cute!! But my fav is the kissing snowpeople!! I do agree with Oz, though, those noses could put an eye out!! Fabulous, fabulous job and I sincerely hope you get your Jolly by Golly stuff one.

Sweet Mother of Pearl...I hope that your Snowman-itis is contagious so that I could hope to make tags as stinkin' CUTE as yours...good grief woman...superb job!!!!

Dawn said...

OMG Elise! These are the CUTEST tags I have ever seen! They are just what I needed as a lay here suffering from the nasty bug that my niece brought us for Thanksgiving. Seriously...who needs Jolly By Golly when you've got Snowman-itis?! I really love the large scale that you used for the focal images. I could go on and on...but I think I'll just go admire the pics some more. ;)
