HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

And we're going to kick off 2013 with a Bugaboo Stamps New Release in all it's chilly snowman kind of glory!

I had a chance to do some craftin' with my mama and her friend Sue over the weekend.  

Both are newbies to Card Making/Paper Crafting - but boy did they have a good time!!

My mama's favorite tool?  The Cuttlebug with Spellbinder Nesties.

Needless to say my tools got quite a workout this weekend.  

This was one I had a chance to whip up (we were creating the window through the front of the card card).

So, you could say it took 3 of us to make this card.  =)

This card was a perfect fit with this cute Snowman Topper image!
