Happy Hump-Day stamping friends!! I had an "off" day yesterday. I received some sad news about the Pastor at my son's old preschool in Jacksonville. He passed away from heart problems. I didn't know him well personally, but I did speak with him a few times and I know how important he was to the church and school. My heart just ached yesterday thinking about all of the teachers who would still have to teach preschool just after finding out the news. And, of course, for his family.
Unfortunately, that mood carried with me most of the day. So when my kids went to bed, I decided it was time to just do nothing and watch TV. I can't remember the last time I watched TV that wasn't "High School Musical 3", "iCarly", or "Spongebob"!! LOL
Anyway, I hope my mood lifts today because I have work to do!!
Now it's time for another ABC Christmas Challenge! The challenge this week is I is for Ice with bonus - Snowflakes.
Our sponsor this time is Stichy Bear Stamps...
They gave the DT a digital stamp to use on our layouts this week. And I chose this cute little Angel. I'm calling her the Ice Angel!!
I used the sketch from Truly Scrumptious, MME Glitter Christmas stack papers, Martha Stewart Snowflake punch, Kaiser Craft Rhinestones, nestabilities Labels Four, and some awesome silk ribbon with the Bow Easy.
Oh, I added a LOT of stickles for some "ice"...
Isn't she a doll?
We would love to have you play along!! The challenge will be open for 2 weeks. The only rules are that you must make a "Christmas" card and you must add something "icy" looking.
This is also for the following challenges:
~ Christmas all year: Die Cuts
~ Stamp Something: Something Layered
Make sure to check out the Stamp and Create Blog today. I have my order of Tim Holtz Sizzix dies coming in today and will post it on the blog as soon as it arrives. I also received some new Primas and restock of Nestabilities yesterday.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

I love your card and my granddaughter had 8th grade prom this past weekend and the color you used for the dress is about the color of her prom dress! (and of course to me she is a little angel!)
