The Snowman from Jolly Old Saint Nick had to make an appearance at ACACCE.  I struggled to come up with a card that made me happy but that would satisfy the needs of a range of stampers from veterans to newbies:

• Jolly Old Saint Nick stamp set
• Baja Breeze, Pear Pizazz, Soft Suede and Whisper White card stock
• Baja Breeze, Soft Suede and Basic Black Classic ink pads
• Baja Breeze, Pear Pizazz and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write markers
• Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder, and Tasteful Trim Bigz die
• Bitty Buttons and Bitty Circle Punch

I really like this guy.  Jean Fitch commented that he almost looks like he’s hangin’ ten on a board and maybe that’s what makes me so fond of him, although I’ve yet to see a surfer in a top hat.  I think it’s his ample belly – and the way he smiles when he pats his belly –  that makes me smile.  He knows it’s there and he just doesn’t care.
