Here’s the cute treats Abby took to school to share with some of her friends. Notice they say, “Time to chill” instead of Merry Christmas. Abby and her friends are juniors in high school and are so excited for winter break to get a “break” from their hard classes so she thought “Time to chill” would be appropriate.
I wish I had come up with this idea, but it is a total CASE (Copy and Steal Everything) which is very common in crafting circles.
I used Wilton Pretzel Bags and cut off 2 inches.
Family update- My husband and two older boys raced from Seattle, WA to Iowa in 33 hours through horrible weather. I was so happy when they arrived home at 6:30am today. The boys learned how to put chains on the car tires, how to navigate icy mountain roads and how to survive with three of them together in a very small space. All life lessons that will serve them well.
Add some sparkle to your Christmas cards with the Snowman Magic Bundle. This is a unique fun fold and I’ll be showing you how to put it together on my weekly Live video on Tuesday, December 20 at 7pm CT. If you can’t join me live, you can find it afterwards on my Stamping Mom YouTube channel here. You can order from my online store and see all the products I used at the very bottom of this post. The snowman dies are in the Last Chance Sale and are less than $20. I will use the snowflakes die (see it on the center green section) even without the snowmen.
This card fits in a regular A2 envelope, but it may be too thick for regular postage. Do you sometimes take the time to make a more elaborate card for someone special? Please leave me a comment and let me know. I prefer making quick and easy, but sometimes I need an extra special challenge.
I made this card for my sweet neighbor Fran. We met a few years ago walking in the neighborhood. When I’m going for a pup walk, I call and see if she wants a visit. Last week she brought over a beautiful, bright color afghan for us. (How did she know I love bright, happy colors!) It brightens up our sun room and will keep me cozy this winter. She also cried with me when we had to put my sweet Molly dog down last Friday.
Molly was a therapy dog and would’ve been 14 in February. Molly and Maya are the only pups we’ve had, and Molly was totally bonded with me. She loved everyone, but she certainly loved me the most! I can’t imagine loving any dog more or having another dog love me that much. Needless to say, my world has been rocked as we grieve her loss.
Molly gave the best hugs! Love you Molly girl! 🙂

“Catch me, o can you catch me. No, not on your finger. No, not on your toe. O can you catch a little snowflake on your nose? Snowflakes Snowflakes are falling!”
This darling snowman did catch a snowflake on his nose! The snowman face, hat, eyes and mouth were all made with circle punches.
The Snowflake Splendor Suite makes beautiful cards. I also used the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper.
