Nigezza Creates: Look Back on last year: Do you want to build a snowman? Stampin Up Style!

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I really hope you like my project. I have been looking at the Christmas projects I made last year and thought I would share some of my favourites again. This one gained some recent attention because people saw this little chap in my craft room tour and asked for the tutorial. So I have decided to share it again in case new followers missed it and have not scrolled back a year to find it.

It was quite funny looking back at the video, I just watched snippets of it, at first I had no idea where is was filmed then realised it was in my lounge on the coffee table and I was using a tripod - my desk must have been really messy for me to move to the lounge! lol!

Also funny seeing my old watermark and my old home made photo light box ... I have come along way since then!
