Snow Friends sneak peek & blog candy!
Did you notice my new blog banner? All That Scraps is gearing up for another new release and the sneak peeks started yesterday with Amy’s new sets! I will have a sample of Amy’s sets soon…(the new puppy is getting a lot of our attention right now!) LOL. She’s just the cutest! Anyway, the images on my banner are from these two cards I made with my new set called Snow Friends! There are 3 snowman images, a few flakes and a bunch of fun sayings.
This first card uses my favorite image. I kept picturing in my mind a snowman with no nose, and a little rabbit friend who shares his carrot. I thought it turned out kinda cute. :0) I hope you like it too! The third image which I haven’t shown here has a snowman with a polar bear friend.
Both of these cards started with a kraft card base. Then the snowflakes were stamped and the edges were inked with a white craft inkpad. The images were colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.
Here’s the recipe:
stamps- Snow Friends by Cookie Crumbs; paper- Kraft, Pomegranate, Bayou, dp- SU! Kraft; ink- Memento Black; accessories- Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, Nestabilities, sewing machine.
Be sure to check out the ATS blog and gallery for more samples of this set and the other new releases! As I mentioned, Amy has 2 new sets which are called Wedding and Love Sentiments. And Christine has 2 sweet sets and 2 sets of adorable digi downloads that will pre-view in the next few days. They will all be available (including this Snow Friends set) on Monday, January 5 at 10 pm!
Now, how about some blog candy? If you would like a chance to win this set, just reply to this post and tell me which card is your favorite…the pink or the blue? I’ll use Random.org to pick a winner Sunday night.

I like the blue one best. Thanks for the chance to win! Have a happy new year. May God’s blessings fill your life.
I like the card with the snowman with skates best. TFS and for the chance to win this cute stamp set. Ann Lind
Hard choice, but I like the pink one best simply because the bunny is just too cute (and I love how the bunny is giving the snowman his carrot for a nose)! Thanks for the chance to win these!
I LOVE the kraft paper coloring— super duper cute and I just loved the snowman that needed a carrot when I saw the set— adorable!
I love the pink card and I LOVE these snowmen. And the ice skates. So adorable. Here is a contest I sure hope I win:)
Hi I love the pink one… as it has the cute bunny…. what fantastic cards… really I love them both
Too sweet!! The pink one wins — that liitle bunny rabbit sharing his carrot really touched my heart!! It was difficult to choose as the blue one is great, too! I LOVE snowmen and collect them, so this set would be a treasured one for me to win! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful creativity, it is much appreciated! Happy New Year to you!! ~Amy S.~
I have to say the pink card for me, though I like the other one, too. I like the pink one as its my favorite color, and I love the image of the bunny giving the carrot to the snowman…how cute is that…and what a great card for “sharing”!!!
These are both awesome cards. I’m leaning towards the pink one as I adore pink. I look forward to seeing more work done with this set. Thanks for the chance to win.
I think the blue is my favorite. No one can have too many friends. Really cute set!
I LOVE your new stamp set, Diane! The rabbit is my favorite!!! Your cards are wonderful and like I said yesterday I also love your new blog header =)
love both cards, but i have to say the pink one is my fav. i like the non-traditional pink for a snowy card, and the snowman is too cute!
I like the blue one - love winter cards with blue! I think the snowmen are adorable- hope I am so lucky!
Happy New Year!
I think that I like the blue one. The snowmen are very cute! Happy New Year!
The pink one.,,no, the blue one..uummmm, do I have to pick just one??? They’re both so fun. Your new set looks wonderful. Love your new banner! Hugs.
I love both, but really love the pink! It is so unique for winter…usually everything is red, green or blue.
Sue
That is so hard…guess I’d have to say the pink! I just love that little bunny! I also LOVE the way you used the Kraft paper with the white snowflakes! Too cute!!
I love them both - but definitely the pink better (cos I’m biased with that cute bunny!!) Great cards!!
I like the blue card. The pink is cute, but to me the blue goes great with the Kraft! Nice job on both
I love the blue one with the skates. Tbey are both amazing cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like the stamp on the pink card, but I like the blue card best. I have this hang up that snowy things look best with blue as the accent colour.
I love both cards - it’s so hard to choose! I think if I were forced to make a choice tho - it would be the pink. His missing nose is too cute!
OMG, I love them both!!!! If I have to pick only one, I’ll choose the blue one.
Thank you for sharing your talent!
Oh this is such a hard choice…but I think I’ll say the pink one because that image of the bunny handing him the carrot is just too cute! They are both awesome cards!
Diane, I am loving this set!! Congrats!
Both cards are fantastic — I love the images on kraft!! They look great on your new blog header, too!
I am going to go with the pink! i am usually blue person, but one of my resolutions is to go with break out of my rut in 09!!
I saw the 3rd image on the ATS site, they are all too cute!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I have to say that I love them both….very cute…but best would have to be the pink one because that stamp is so adorable and very original. I so want that set…..PLEASE PICK ME!!!!
Wow - it is hard to choose but I think my favorite is the one with the bunny and snowman! It is too cute! I love your card colors!
Barb M.
I have to say that I love them both….very cute…but best would have to be the pink one because that stamp is so adorable and very original. I so want that set…..PLEASE PICK ME!!!!
(Oh sorry..posted twice cuz I didn’t see my name and then realized it went in anonymous…duh?)
Love that sharing one in pink. That’s my idea .. Sharing is best. What a kind bunny!
After all isn’t a card a hug in an envelope?
The PINK is my favorite, although I don’t care for rabbits at all (they eat flowers!). Blog candy would be nice!
Pink one! LOVE the “Easter bunny” with the carrot — that’s what it made me think of! And I am SO NOT a snowman person — this set is a MUST for me because I love the stamps and I love the sentiments — even if I don’t win on Random.org (which I never do, so I’m just waiting for the release!
) Fantastic Diane!
The pink one! I just love how the snowman is playing with the bunny! One can never, ever have too many snowmen, I think!
They both are great though!
I love the pink one. But pink is my favorite color.
I like the pink card best, that little bunny is so cute!
I love both of them!!! Too hard to decide between the 2…..
I’d love to win this set, I love snowmen
great colors and great layout! what a cute set, thanks for the chance to win.

The pink… I love the cute little bunny giving up his carrot in the dead of winter. How sweet.
I had a hard time deciding, too. I LOVE all snowmen! They each have a different sweetness to their personalities
I do like the blue card for the graph paper use, and like the bright cheery use of pink… Guess I’d say the pink card’s my fav as the image gives the extra touch=”love”.
Thanks for letting me get a chance at them.
My fav would have to be the pink. It just so sweet. : )
I like both but if I had to pick I would pick the BLUE but I really like the bunny holding the carrot in the pink.
Lisa V
I love them both! But if I have to pick only one, I would pick the pink one. It is very endearing with the rabbit offering his food source to the snowman for his nose. Definitely depicts generosity … Thank you for offering these cute images.
Diane CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! Stinking cute girlfriend! Don’t pick me cause I already got this one.
Big grin!
I like them both, but I like the pink one a little more. It’s so cute having the rabbit handing the snowman a carrot. I LOVE IT!
They’re both soooooooooooooo cute, but if I have to choose one, I’d pick the blue. Just adorable!
My favorite is the pink one! Thanks for sharing! They are both very wintery and festive which I just love!
Both cards are darling! How can you not love the bunny giving his carrot to the snowman the best? What a wonderful lesson for us all! Pink card wins by a nose (or should I say carrot:D)!!
I absolutely luv them both! I guess if I had to pick, it would be the blue one, although I do like that little rabbit!
Wanda
Love the stamps and your cards are just awesome. I love both of the cards, but since I have to pick just one…um…um…ok I’m picking the pink. I really like this snowman cuz it’s different and love how it’s bending over. Thanks so much for a chance. Happy New Year.
It was hard to decide but I love the pink card, the rabbit is so cute giving the snowman his carrot.
The pink card is my favorite. I love the bunny sharing his carrot.
anitamocha@sbcglobal.net
I absolutely love this set- esp. the rabbit sharing his carrot. TOO CUTE!! A great follow up to your cupcake set
I like the rabbit and snowman image best but I prefer the colour blue!
I like the pink card and I love the way the craft cardstock looks.
Both cards are wonderful & the images are just too stinkin’ cute—I LOVE snowmen and with your set you can use them all winter! But I’d have to say the blue card is my fave :o)
hugz,
Suzanne Dean
I love the blue it seems to stand out more to me. And , of course I really like BLUE.
Love both your cards, but Mr. Bunny on the pink card just put it over the top for me. Thanks for creating this great snowman set…it is wonderful!
OMgoodness those snowmen are SOOOO cute! I especially love the bunny giving the carrot to the snowman. My fav card is the pink card–my 5 year old daughter is sitting next to me and voted for that one too. Thanks for this chance to win.
I love them both but the pink is my fave!
Thanks so much!

I just love Snowmen!! These are especially cute. I like the pink card best as it is not a traditionally snowy color. This snowman and his rabbit friend are adorable. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh these are just so cute! I love Snowmen (snow people?)
I think I love them both! The bunny giving the snowwoman back her nose is too cute but the blue one is equally adorable. Thanks for the chance to win!

How cute! I have so enjoyed all of the sneak peeks and samples made using this set. I love it!! Thanks for the chance to win it. It looks to be an essential winter set for any collection.
The pink one. I love the concept of a bunny giving up his carrot so a snowman can have a nose. Too cute.
I love them both so it is hard to pick but the blue draws me to it.
I just have to have this set. I LUV LUV LUV snowmen! I think both cards are great but the pink one jumps out at me.
The pink! I think the interaction between the snowman and the rabbit is just so adorable. Cute, cute, cute!
Difficult choice, but I’m going with the pink one. Can’t resist that darling rabbit!
I like the pink best because of the bunny sharing his carrot. Too cute. I also like the stripe look over the plaid.
Happy New Year.

Oh my…I absolutely love these stamps. Thank-you for the chance to win!
I am crazy over any snowman stamps!!!!
How to choose - hmm. If forced to the wall, I’d say the blue one. Blue seems a colder more snowman like colour. The stamps are great. I see a snowman theme next year. - Nimmy
I love the pink one the best - that rabbit and snowman are the cutest!!
They are both great, but I love love love the pink one….that snowman with the bunny is just too cute!
Both are ADORABLE! But my favorite it the pink one! Love the “friendship” of the snowman and the rabbit.

Definitely the pink. I love the little rabbit. I can’t wait to try out these new stamps.

i love that snowman with no nose, such a cute idea! thanks for the chance to win
What a fun Blog! I am new to all this and loving seeing all the different things! I love the blue and the snowman w/skates. My daughter is an ice skater so I am always looking for things w/ice skates for cards and scrapbooking! Hope to get the candy
Thank you for sharing your talent!
I just love snowmen and I have many snowman stamps, but my sister loves rabbits and I was thinking that would be a perfect set to send her a thank you note with.
I like the pink card the best.
I like both of them - I would probably pick the skater, though! They are both great. Thanks for the chance to win!
They are both adorable but I am choosing the blue one (but I’d like to change the sentiment to … “There are no friends like FAUX friends.”
Happy Crafting / Happy New Year!
Tina aka TeeGeeDee
I so love both but the blue would be my favorite!!! I got a pair of boys skates for christmas( I haven’t skated for like 20 years, yikes).
Thanks for a chance to win these!!
I love the pink one because it’s so cute that the bunny is sharing!
Thanks for the chance to win.
Gosh, that’s a hard question. I love them both. BUT I guess I would say that I like the blue one a tad better because the blue goes well with winter in my mind. Thanks for a chance to win some awesome blog candy.
These are sooooooooooo cute! Love all of the designs made with them!
The pink is is so pretty…I love that the bunny is sharing the carrot.

Cute cards! I love that rabbit sharing his carrot that is the best! I think the blue card is my favorite though.
They are both great cards, but I love the pink one…mostly because of the adorable image!!
I’m partial to the “snow friends”! The little handbag is such a unique touch! The hand stitching is such an unexpected touch. . . I love all the cards that you girls make, including my daughter Jennifer Love! She’s gotten me started, but I have a long way to go. I’m enjoying adding personal poems to the cards I make. I look forward to winning the stamps:D luv, mrt
I like the blue card best but I do like the rabbit sharing his carrot on the pink card.
OOOHHH! Pink, pink, pink!!! I Love it!
Blue I think..no pink….no blue…I cant decide!!!! Blue I think…I think Ill go with Blue
I like the pink one best, especially with that sweet little bunny giving away his carrot. Too too cute.
I love both of these cards! Show me anything with a snowman on it and I love it.
That doesn’t just apply to stamps and cards either. The bunny offering the snowman the carrot for his nose is too cute. Thanks for the chance to win.
I like the blue card!

The pink card is the bomb . I love how the bunny is sharing.

I love pink and bunnies so naturally I prefer the pink card. I love the blue one too so it wasn’t an easy decision! I love your new banner too.
True Blue!! But I love them both.
Cynthia
They are both adorable, but I guess I like the pink one. I like how the bunny is sharing the carrot.

The Pink One - but I like the other one , too. Thanks for the chance to win!

Thank you for the chance to win them.
Sharon King
Happy New Year, what a fun way to start the new year with “candy” and a chance to win. I love both your cards, but will go with the blue one. I collect snowmen, including snowmen stamps, and these are adoreable.
Both cards are great, but I like the pink one the best because of the snowman without his nose. Such a nice thoughtful bunny to give away his carrot.
PINK! It is too cute!! I love him sharing the carrot with his friend.
OMGosh, Diane! This is SO cute!!! I **LOVE** your snowmen…and the little bunny! Awwww…. Your banner looks fabulous too!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this set!
Super duper cute! I love both of your cards….but my favorite color is pink….so I have to pick the PINK one! 
Lots of hugs~ Kim
Diane, they are BOTH adorable, but my pic is the pink one, just for the cute little bunny!
Thanks for the chance to win! 
I have to choose the pink one. The bunny giving his carrot to the snowman is just too cute!!
Pink one is SO cute! I also like the stitching on the pink card a bit better, although both cards are GREAT! You have amazing talent!
Happy new year, I think the blue card is my favorite, blue is a favorite of mine and I like the combo of the background snowflakes with the grid at the bottom alot!!
thank you for giving me a chance to win this cute set
these guys are toooooooooooo cute. How did you know I have a thing for snowmen?? Both are sweet but the one without his nose …how kind of that bunny, giving up his carrot. Would really love to win these guys. Thank you for the opportunity
Janet
Love the bunny handing the snowman his nose - how cute!
Thanks for the chance on your blog candy!
The pink one is my favorite because the image is one of sharing and friendship. Thank you for sharing with all of us!
Tough choice they are both too cute! The blue one is my favorite, the extra sewing just makes it stand out perfect. Good job on both of them!
I love them both, but the pink with that lil bunny is my fav! Congats on your new set; I can’t wait to see the rest!
Kathy Camasso
I like them both, but prefer the pink. I can’t wait to own them. I hope to remember to put the order in on Monday… Maybe one of our friends will remind me??
Hi Diane! I LOVE the pink set with the missing carrot nose! It reminds me of a stuffed toy my cat used to carry around until she pulled the nose off. This card really made me reminisce. NICE WORK ON ALL OF YOUR PROJECTS! Thanks for sharing!!
Can’t wait to see who the lucky winner is!
i love the pink card. the pink is just so pretty with the kraft cardstock!!! and not the usual winter colors~
i love the blue one!!!
I’ll tell you what, the snowman with no nose is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! What a neat set! I like the pink better, (and the noseless snowman!). Thanks for the chance to win the set!
Congrats on another cute stamp set! I love both of them, but I really like the image on the pink one! Too cute!
I love them both but the bunny sharing his carrot for his nose is just priceless! The blue card snowman is really cuter with his little ear flaps on the hat and the mug and skates but the bunny sharing the carrot won out. Can’t wait to see the whole set. I bet the little polar bear will be cute as well. I really like the kraft cardstock too for a change. Cool idea!!!!! Thanks for a chance to win!
They are both adorable but I love the Bunny and Snowman card. Thanks for sharing. SharriC
I love the pink one. The snowman with the bunny is just **too** adorable. It’s kinda like a Winter meets Spring card. I just love snowmen and I’ve been thinking a lot about Spring with it’s warmer weather. What a great way to incorporate both images and I love the way you colored the images. Kim :o)
I like the blue one best. The sentiment is just great. Snowmen are one of my favorite stamps. The overall card is just awesome.
The pink one’s my favorite!
what a cute snowman set! i LOVE the pink card, the bunny sharing is just the cutest image! both snowmen are adorable, but the pink card is my favorite!
they are wonderful new sets!
janice
The snowmen stamps are so cute! I like the pink best because I haven’t seen another stamp like that, very creative. I use snowmen every year in my Christmas and thank you cards. I would love to add these to my collection.
Great blog candy, thanks for the chance to win!
I definitely prefer the pink one. Somehow it spices up the card and makes it special. Usually the colors used with snowmen are silver and blue, not pink.
They are both cute, but I love the little rabbit on the pink card.
I know I loved the pink card but the more I looked at the blue one there was just something that drew me to that card-maybe because I enjoyed ice skating when I was younger. My friend has nothing but snowmen on her holiday tree, I can’t wait to let her know how adorable these snowmen really are. Thanks for letting us have a chance to win them.
Both cards a beautiful and I love the snowmen. I think I like the pink one best because I love the snowman leaning over to give the carrot to the bunny.
I love the pink card…the image of sharing is just too cute! Thanks for offering the fun prize and Happy New Year!
I’d choose the pink one, for the movement it shows. Happy New Year!
Both are very cute and I prefer the pink! Happy New Year!
Kraft CS is the bomb! Love it… now which card to choose…. {thinking}
I prefer the snowman with the cute bunny… it just says:
“If you do this to the least of my brethren, so you do it to ME (Jesus)”
One of my favorite verses! Hope I win this.
{crossing fingers} Marilyn
The pink one… especially because it’s not a color you’d think of for Christmas… but mostly because the stamp itself is so stinkin’ cute!!
Wow, that’s a really tough choice. They are both adorable!! I will go with the pink. Love your blog!!
I love snowmen! These cards are fantastical
I like the pink just because it is non-traditional!
I love that little rabbit handing over a carrot to the snowman. So cute.
I love the pink, Very cute!
-Cher
Love them both but I’ll pick the pink one. Most of my Christmas cards were snowmen!
Thanks for the blog candy.
Donna
Both are adorable, but if I have to pick one, I’ll pick the blue one!!
I love “there’s no friends like snow friends!” I have a Hallmark wreath from several years ago and it’s a snowman theme. All the ornaments are snowmen that hang on the wreath and each one says something like this sentiment. It really makes me think of that wreath! I love snowmen and I would love so much to win the set!!
I Love the Pink card! Too Cute!!
LOVE them both, but the pink one is ingenious!
Love them both, but my favorite is the pink one. Thanks for the chance to win!
I collect snowmen, I just LOVE ‘em!!! They are both just darling, however having to pick one I think I would choose the pink one!!! BTW-A purple one would be out of this world!!!
Blessings,
Robin Johnson
So so so so cute! I love the one without the nose!
While I think both color choices are great, I’d have to go with the blue…I think the snowman looks like a BOY
I would LOVE to win, and thank yOu for the opportunity! Gayle
Though I’m partial to the pink, I think they are both great.
