Group Hug…
They arrived today! I’m so excited! I just want to give everyone a big huge group hug! LOL I designed this snowman group hug stamp last year in October and yay! it is finally in production. This group of snowmen just popped into my mind and reminds me of some of my fabulous stamping buddies. A big great group hug to you, my friends! Stamping Bella just released this stamp about a week ago and my mailperson slid it in my box this morning. I just couldn’t resist pairing it up with today’s sketch challenge…never mind that I have a million others things I really SHOULD be doing! There is always time for a hug, right?!
Warm Hugs
I know this card takes a few liberties with today’s sketch challenge. I was really trying to make it work for this stamp! I paired it up with this darling Adorn It paper I’d picked up at the Scrapbook Studio the other week. Sooo cute! I knew I wanted to use my favorite Soft Sky cardstock on this design so I pulled the Blue Bayou color out of the paper as well as Kraft to make it work.
The snowmen are colored with my new Copic Markers. Yay! My other set arrived safely and I just love the new colors. How did I survive without that soft, soft grey for shading?! A little sponging, a little stitching and some fun embellishments finish off the card. Another ultra soft velvet brad from Making memories and a Heidi Swapp ghost shapes snowflake and it was done. 
Wishing you are warm fuzzy group hug kind of day!

Your card is perfect! The coloring, the paper…and everything else.
Congratulations! I’m sure it will be very popular!
This is a great card! I saw a similar image last night when I was browsing but it wasn’t the same, this is cool! I love how you’ve used your Copic markers, looks great! I’ve just acquired some too and I think I’m using the wrong paper, they really bleed on my paper. Also, can you tell me what kind of ink you stamped your image in so it doesn’t bleed?
Julia, I love this card AND your new stamp! Great job!
Wow! You designed that stamp? How cool! It is super CUTE!!!! Love the arial view of the snowmen!!!
You know I remember a LONG time ago you mentioning you may have something like that up your sleeve! The first time I saw one of your Bella cards-
I had just seen this today and thought I had enough Christmas sets! But its a must have-along with some other bella stuff! I may use it for my Christmas card since there is 5 of us!
Way to go Julia! You rock!
You should (and must) be so proud!!!
