Snow, Snow, Snow

Apparently the snow day dance that Meghan did worked - no school today! This was what we were treated to this morning.....

The kids went outside for a little while, threw a few snowballs and made this.....

So, in homage to the snowman in our backyard, I am showing you my snowmen project today. I was in the mood to make some cute little clip bookmarks this afternoon. The hardest part of the whole project is usually deciding what stamp to use! Today I went hunting for snowmen.

I made three different ones, basically the same with just a change in colors. The snowman stamp is from Elzybell's. It's stamped with Memento tuxedo ink and colored with copic and prismacolor markers.

Copic: E39, YR16, R24, R29   Prismacolor: cool grey 50% & 80%

Copics: E39, YR16, B06    Same prismacolors as above.

Copics: E39, YR16, G05, G09  Same prismacolors as above.

Here's the group of three. I used nestibilities to cut both circles and clear stickles for the "snowflakes". I use a glue gun to attach all the pieces. Not only do I have the front piece glued to the clip but I also cut a scallop circle from the appropriate color to glue to the back of the clip. I like how this finishes the project off as well as makes me more comfortable that the glue will stick with use.

As I write, our little snowman has been washed away as the rain followed the snow. We've even had thunder and lightening to top the night off. Here's hoping for warm enough temperatures to keep all that mess from freezing over again. Have a great night!

Where do you find those large paper clips? Wal-Mart did carry them but doesn't anymore. Having trouble finding them in Ohio.
Thanks!

These are so cute! I think you need to make one for every season!

I find it somewhat comical that the US is getting a ton of snow and we just have a dusting...I am sure it will make up for lost time at some point!

Cute, love your bookmarks. Can Meghan come and do a snow dance here? I want some snow too!
