Woodsy Snowman & Music Saves My Soul

Pin It

Chalk up another card to my weakness for snowmen. I saw this image on sale last summer and had to buy it. Not only was it cute but it was on sale. How could a girl walk away from that? I am finally getting the chance to ink him up.

I haven’t had a chance to play along with Marcea’s Music Saves My Soul Saturday for a few weeks. Here is a song that I have been listing to in my Christmas playlist over the past week. If you like the song, there is a link below the video on YouTube to download it for free.

If you would like to play along and share a song, stop by Marcea’s blog to link up!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

  • Stamps: Stampendous Woody Snowman, Papertrey Holiday Treats
  • Inks: Stampin’ Up Real Red, Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Papers: Papertrey kraft CS, Stampin’ Up Real Red CS, Neenah Crest solar white, Echo Park Season’s Greetings paper pad, misc. green scrap CS
