Kim is sharing this card on the Paper Smooches Blog today. {There’s a giveaway there, too!} My card features four stamps from Freezy Fellas which will be available on November 1st, in just two days time. Are you excited? These snowmen are absolutely adorable and when I saw this sentiment, it appeared as if the snowmen were showing me the love so I just went with it. LOL

The entire card is covered and paper pieced with patterned paper from My Mind’s Eye Lost & Found Two’s Rosy paper pad. I cut out my own banner, stamped the sentiment and stapled it to the card base to complete the scene.

I’m thrilled to announce that I am one of the four World Card Making Day 2012 Contest winners in the Hello/Thinking of You category. Eeek!!

  1. I tried to comment from my phone but I don't know where it went! šŸ™‚ If you get two from me… I don't know what happened! šŸ™‚

    Congratulations Emily! Such a great card! Well deserved!!

  2. WOW! A big congratulations to you, Emily!! So very well deserved. I see Santa didn't make it to this party; but I'm sure he's super happy for you, just like me! Enjoy this huge honor!

  3. So excited for you Emily!!! Congratulations, that is HUGE! So I can think of four who are missing, although not sure you consider them all human, ha ha: Witch, Jerome, Santa, and also the Frankenstein guy.

  4. Whoop whoop whoooooop!! So awesome to see your name on the WCMD list! šŸ™‚ These two cards rock as well. Love the fun colours on the first card and the perfect masking on the second. I don't see Santa from Santa Paws though… šŸ™‚

  5. Congrats Emily on your big win! Wow! I'm so happy for you, doing cartwheels here šŸ˜› I'm thinking its either Santa or Jerome! By the way, your thank you card is adorable much!

  6. Congrats on this win! It's a big deal and you deserve a round of applause. I follow your blog every day but don't always comment – so I'll just say now that I live your work. And where is Jerome?

  7. yay for you! I saw your card and name on the Papercrafts Connection and am not surprised you were a winner. Your cards are always so fun and fabulous! Love your fun little Thank you card, and as for who is missing…it's Santa!!

  8. EEK! That's huge news! Congrats šŸ™‚ I spy Santa missing among all those characters…and boy, are they a bunch of characters šŸ˜‰
    Love those huggy snowmen – they are totally showing the love!

  9. What a great little card and congrats to you! I saw the announcement on Papercrafts Connection and followed it over here!
    Thank you also for the giveaway. The missing very important person is Santa Claus!!

  10. So very happy for your Emily, and so well deserved! I don't see the santa, witch, frankenstein or the dracula on there, or Jerome either but are they really people? Anyway, I was scrolling through PS store and found a lot of sets that I need! Thanks for the nudge.

  11. FABULOUS cards, Emily! Congrats on your very well deserved win! YOU ROCK!!!

    Ok…so I had a guess, BUT then I read your hint of 'a very important person'. Now, I am going to have to say SANTA!!!

  12. Congratulations on your win. It is not at all surprising to me. You are very talented. Haven't been on the internet much lately, work is very busy. Hope you are having a good week.

  13. HUGE congrats on your WCMD win, Emily!!!! I'm so very happy for you and I can't wait to see your winning card!
    So sweet of you to do a giveaway, too: Santa's the missing one! šŸ™‚

  14. Popped in to Congratulate you sweetie…how exciting,so happy for you.
    Always enjoy your designs even if you leave Santa out of the design sweetie

  15. So I can't decide which card I like better — the classic CAS Emily long card with amazing colouring, or the paper-pieced snow family extravaganza! And yes, I think seasonal Santa must be the missing person, too.

  16. Congrats!!! Love your paper pieced snowmen card and all the characters used on the thank you card. I had no idea who was missing until I saw the comment just before mine… šŸ™‚

  17. Congrats on your card publication! You always do such a great job, I'm glad to see you being recognized!
    Love the card! I'm sure that Santa is super busy this time of year and will show up somewhere down the line with a tall cool drink in his hand celebrating that the holidays are over.
    TFS!

  18. At first I thought it was Jerome, but I guess he isn't really "human". So I guess it's Santa even though he really is fictional(unless you count the original St. Nicholas). Congrats on being chosen a winner! I am so happy for you. šŸ˜€

  19. Hi Emily, we were having trouble with the "Interwebz" at our house last night, and in my impatience I managed to leave at least six copies of the same comment! I tried to delete all but one, but there was still delay between key-pressing and computer-action, and I guess they all disappeared. Anyway! Wanted to congratulate you on your Paper Crafts recognition. Well deserved! I love your ability to assemble stamps for fun and funny scenes. Love the PS character party card! Santa is missing, but as Miriam P mentioned, so are some other not-so-humanoid peeps…

  20. Emily, how very exciting on being a WCMD winner for PaperCrafts. Love the snowman dudes in your first card and think Santa is missing from your second one. Eager to see your winning card when published. Congrats!

  21. Hi Emily!
    Yay!! I saw you were one of the winners! That is so well deserved!!! I love your character group card!! Love all that are there, but I do think Santa Clause could be a bit sad now, hi hi. But he'll forgive you, 'cause the card is so cool! And 'cause you're a winner! šŸ˜€
    Hugs, Wendy

  22. Congratulations!!! you're always a winner to me and love all ur inspiring cards, Em!! You're missing Santa ^^ but im sure he'll still put u on the nice list šŸ™‚ So happy for u !!

  23. Great news Emily and love both these cards too… the patterned hills look such fun and all those PS characters look like they are going to a fancy dress party on your thankyou card :0)

  24. GASP, oh no, just got a new order from there and now I want these snowman stamps too! ACK! Just too too cute:) Love the DPs you used! Thanks for popping by my blog.

  25. Congratulations on your win, Emily!! It is soooooooooo well-deserved. I can't wait to see your card in print when all the winners are published. Way to go, my friend!!
