~No People Like Snowpeople~

I LOVE SNOWPEOPLE.


I USED to say "I love snowmen".



But then, I met her.






She's modeled after my Great-Aunt Grace who is 93!

Actually, Aunt Grace doesn't wear glasses...but I couldn't resist stamping these for her (Lawn Fawn Clear to See).


 This 3D decoration shouldn't take up too much space in my aunt's room.

 I used Papertrey Ink's Shape-Up Series Snowman Die and stamps.(oooh, I just caught that.)  


I should write to them about changing it to snowpeople...


WINK. ;)




She's anchored to a Papertrey Ink coaster that's been decorated with DP (sanded on the edges to keep it from flipping up).


 I wanted Aunt Grace to see that spool.  

She would appreciate that I recycled that.

She spent MANY volunteer HOURS crafting gifts and delivering flowers to a local hospital (years back when she could).

 Here's a shot of the other side.



I gave the tree a little depth with two sides.

I stamped snowflake "decorations" on the DP part of the tree.

My colors were inspired by Embellish Magazine's Die Cuts Color Trend.




Thank you for peeking in today. ;)

I love your Aunt Grace. This is just so cute. My favorite part is the glasses. I have been making snow men and snow women galore (for chanukah) but never thought of giving them a purse and glasses. Well, now, I'm going to do that as well. Just wonderful.
