Dilly Beans Frosty Challenge



Happy Friday everyone! Time for another fun challenge from Dilly Beans. We're still rockin' the winter scene at the Dilly Beans Challenge blog with this week's theme being "Frosty". Hey, no prob, but kinda funny since as you're reading this I'm on a plane bound for sunny Florida to celebrate my MIL's 90th birthday. (More on that Monday) Well, I can't think of Frosty without thinking snowman and remembering the words to the song, I chose the adorable #329 Top Hat Snowman.


I've done a bit of manipulation with his hat in my Printmaster Platinum program in order to extend the hat beyond the border because of the surprise sentiment he's hiding under there.


Remember the song?


I popped the matted image as well as the snowflake with the hat attached to allow freedom of movement. The snowflakes are Cricut shadow cuts along with Cuttlebug and Spellbinders flakes. I've used an MS icicle border punch and liberal use of my Stickles and embossed the DCWV snowflake DP with the Cuttlebug snowflake folder. Then I spelled out Frosty in Alpha Beads and there ya go. My DT sisters have provided just tons of inspiration so please visit the Challenge Blog and leave them some love. In addition, Megan has added some great new things to the Dilly Beans Shop. Check out the new Collage Sheets and stay tuned for Paper Piecing Patterns (say THAT 3 times fast!) WooHoo!
