FCD November Blog Hop & BLOG CANDY!!!
Welcome to the November Firecracker Designs By Pamela Blog Hop! This month's theme is "Thank You." And to thank YOU, Pamela has given each member of her design team a stamp set as blog candy!!! Whoo Hoo! I'm offering the wonderful sentiments set Let's Celebrate.
NOTE: The official start time of this Hop is Friday, at 8:00 AM (EST). If you arrived early, please be patient as all the links may not be live yet.
This is a “circular blog hop” where the only beginning is wherever you start!! You will know you are at the end of your blog hop when you’ve come back to the blog you’ve started from! (It’s not a huge circle…so it should be easy to remember where you started.) Each member of the design team will be offering a stamp set as blog candy so you’ll want to leave a comment on EVERY blog, so you don’t miss out! (hop ends at 8:00 pm (EST) on Monday) **To find out if you’ve won… you will be contacted via e-mail (so be sure to leave it with your comment.) ** Now, to continue the circle, you will need to hop on over to SHELLY'S BLOG!!!! Deets on this card: I masked off the snow area with a torn post it note. I used the brayered sky technique to color this sky. The sentiment was cut out using my Cricut. This cute little snowman was stamped, colored with Copics, and adhered into place with his little hand holding up the words. I added a little scallop edge and strip of DP to the top and bottom and Voila! Stamps: Firecracker Designs by Pamela Shepherd Snow Family

 Penguin Tag
There is still time to enter the Artful INKables tag challenge and maybe win some free stamps! Check out the details here. This is my sample to get your creative juices flowing!
I'm featuring a new set from AI called License to Chill. Just the name is fun, right?!?! All the patterns behind this tag were made from the set. I used the License to Chill sentiment on the top and the snowflakes for the bottom portion. My Cricut was used to cut out the tag and the tag mat. Then I stamped this litle fella and colored him with Copics. I sponged in a blue sky and added a few white snowflakes in the sky. A few ribbons, and I'm done!

Today, I’m showing you a card made with a new set called License to Chill. I used this cute little bear sledding as the focal point in this vintage style, cracked glass ornament (sorry, I just discovered I like vintage and I'm kinda stuck on it right now! Ha!). Aren't those snowflakes fabulous! Here's a closeup:
