Snowman Galore....

Another beauty day ahead...I wish our whole winter would just stay like this...no snow, no below 0 temperatures! I do have to admit, I have a true love of snowman stamps! So out came another snowman image to do this card!

I found this pattern for making these little fabric boxes and thought I would try it out and make a tissue box holder for the holidays. The pattern can be found here!

Have a wonderful weekend, and thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!

Snowflakes Galore...Embossed & Crochet

I have such a love affair with snowman....and snowflakes! So I really wanted to get a little bit of a start on my Christmas cards this year using these awesome images I have! I printed these images on to Kraft cardstock and coloured with prismas and lyra pencil crayons. I then ran the Kraft cardstock thru the handy cuttlebug with the snowflake pattern. Using some cream ink I rubbed the top of the snowflakes to make them stand out a little...

I looked high and low for a snowflake pattern I could crochet up myself...but did not find a pattern that I really liked. So I took a few patterns and made my own "Crochet Snowflake Pattern" that I could follow to my liking!!

Here is the pattern if you are looking for easy peasy snowflakes.

Use baby soft yarn with a 2.0mm crochet hook.

Rnd 1: Ch5, join with a slip st to form a ring.

Rnd 2: Ch1, (2sc in ring, ch3, ) 5 times, join with a slip st in first sc.

Rnd 3: Ch 1 (sc, ch3, sc, ch5, sc, ch3, sc) all in the ch-3 loop, ch 2, 5 times, join. Fasten off.

And there you have a little pretty snowflake.

I really apoligize for the quality of the pictures....not too sure what is up with that. I guess photography is just not my thing! If anyone has some pointers for me, please let me know!

In the next couple of days I hope to post my tags that I made to match. So stayed tuned!

Thank-you so much for popping in for a visit, I appreciate reading each and everyone of your supportive and sweet comments!
