Just when you thought Christmas was over .......

Hello again, happy Thursday evening .......

I've spent most of the day packing away the Christmas decorations .... there's glitter everywhere .... again!  I'm still working on the tree ...... did I really hang soooo many baubles on there!

Anyway ..... just when you were maybe thinking of putting all those Christmas stamps and festive craft stash away ...... don't do it!!! 
January's Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge gets underway today ..... Ho! Ho! Ho! (Sorry)


As you can see the theme is still Anything Goes ..... with an optional twist of ...... CAS (Clean and Simple)

Here's one of my favourite little snowmen ...... and you couldn't get more CAS. 
(I do love black and white with just a hint of colour)


He's been stamped in black Versafine ink, and then just his hat and scarf coloured ..... oh and his nose!


The sentiment has been heat embossed in gold underneath ......


And then a few dots of white enamel accents have been added here and there, to give the look of falling snow.


As with all the HLS challenges there's a prize for the winner ...... a $20 Gift Certificate to spend in the HLS store.  And guess what ..... it the winner has used HLS products on their winning project then the prize will be DOUBLED!! ....... WOW!

Happy Stamping folks.

Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day.
I'm off to finish taking the tree down ..... I've had enough now, I just want everything put away and the house tidy again.

Cheerio until next time ......

Such a FABULOUS CAS design! I LOVE that image with all of the etching around the snowman. I also love that you used only red and the orange for his carrot nose to ad color. The gold embossed sentiment is the perfect finish! Love it!

The lust of colors made the red so beautifully. I love the delicate dots of the enamel around the snowman, they look like it was snowing. An amazing CAS project.
Happuy New Year, Linda!
