This one is made from the Sister Stamp image of the snowman (Shimo-san). I had these plastic ornaments lying around from last year and finally had use for one of them. I just reduced the image I had already colored and fit it into th

The holiday season is already upon us! Looked out the window the other day and it was snowing, which is a bit earlier than usual this time of year. Anyway, just thought I would get into the holiday mood and share a project that I created which was inspired by all the creativity going on with my sister's blog http://sisterstamps.blogspot.it/.
