This week over at MAWTT, the lovely Hazel is hosting and the theme is 'Let it Snow' and I chose this gorgeous image called 'Chester dah Snowman' by Robyn's Fetish to play with. I have already seen the team's work and I have to tell you - you must pop over and have a look at all the different cards and projects, there is some wonderful inspiration for you to look at.
As many of you will know I have been following the 12 Tags of Christmas by Tim Holtz, but didn't have time to make them all myself. So I decided to use some of his techniques in making this card. If you haven't seen how to use a stamp on an embossing folder you really should go take a look. I have used it here to create my background and then I printed Chester out twice, covered him in snowtex and pieced his hat, nose, arms and heart after colouring them with distress inks.
For those of you who know me - just to let you know Mum is still in hospital and is likely to be there quite some time as she is still being fed by a tube, saying that though she has been allowed some pureed food this week. I am having to battle with the hospital to get information and get things moved on. Communication from and with them is a nightmare and I don't just mean to me - but between each team on duty and each department too. I am gathering my evidence now for a formal complaint.
So sorry I am still not visiting you very often, I really miss keeping in touch, but hopefully soon.
Take care - luv {brenda} xoxox

Lovely card Brenda, and I would like a link too.... So glad to hear that your Mom is improving, but very sorry to hear she won't be home for Christmas. Although we might be living in the information age, I know that doesn't apply to the medical field. Good luck in your quest.

Hi B, what a week you have had! Hope the weekend is better for you, you go make that complaint and best of luck to you. I really LOVE your snowman make this week, my printer is still poorly, David has had it out all over the floor and we are awaiting a part, but due to the snow, not sure when it will be here.
Take care of yourself and sending you big get well hugs for your Mum xxx
Seems like your mum really needs someone to fight her corner for her and you would be her best advocate. I always feel I didn't do enough for my parents when they were incarcerated in a home. Do your best, that is all you can do. Communication in hospital, when it goes awry is a mightmare to address. Good luck, Brenda!
