Frosty The NOMAN

My daughter still has a few cute ways to say certain words with one trend being that she usually skips the "s" sound if it is in the beginning.  Last week when I asked her what I should put on the front of the holiday cards for her teachers she told me "Put a NOMAN on them mommy!"  LOL!  How could I resist that request?!!  

So I made 6 of these Frosty cards for my daughter's teachers and bus drivers.  The design is by Hero Arts and was cut with my Silhouette.  At first I thought I was gonna whip out these cards quickly because the design was one piece and just a silhouette outline cut with no layering.  But when I put them together they just looked like they needed a little something.  So I added googlie eyes...  Then buttons...  Then ribbon... and feathers.  So much for the quickie cards, LOL!  But I know the recipients will enjoy them so it was worth it.  The ribbon was the trickiest part because when I cut it the little rope part that makes loops kept winging out and I had to glue and hold til they behaved. 
 
This aqua blue card stock is one of the prettiest color in my stash.  It's from CTMH and is textured and very thick with a lighter shade of this color on the back side.  LOVE CTMH two tone!  And even though it is thick it cuts like butter in my Silhouette.  Frosty is cut out of Georgia Pacific cardstock which I also used to make the 5"x5" card base.   


I will be proud when my daughter eventually gets all her words right, but for now I will giggle and enjoy hearing her singing Frosty the Noman because that is one thing I will definitely miss.


Thanks for visiting!

What a cute card! Be sure to make another, and scrap the story, because you'll cherish it later on! I'm so looking forward to the calendar blog hop on the 28th...I hope you're still in...karelj

I am so intrigued! I have never heard of the Silhouette before. I have a Cricut Expression and now the Imagine. Do you think it would be worth it to also invest in the Silhouette too? Can you tell me the benefits? I'm a new follower. Please either email me or contact me on my blog at http://lv2scrapandfibrofacts.blogspot.com/
