I'm in the mood for Snowmen and I used a paper bag from one of the stamp companies to use as a background.  Shame on me, but I almost threw it out instead of re-using it.  Don't you think this is a fantastic Snowman?

This is a new acquisition which I couldn't resist.  There are two marvelous little birds and a cute bunny with lots of sentiments in the set.

Telling on myself, but I almost missed the handle on the lantern and it would have been hanging in air.  I'm very, very happy with my first Art Impressions snowman.

Supplies:
Art Impressions set includes dies Christmas Slimline Set
Copic markers

Not sure of the brand on the sentiment

I wanted to use a small piece of colored paper to make a gumball machine because the colors were so beautiful and shiny.  I have no idea where they came from, but I had to use them. Success!

I received the "Hello" sentiment from Linda, my fellow Die Cut Divas friend.  It came at the perfect time when I was looking for a sentiment to fit beside the gumball machine.
