I chose this very cute snow bunny from Meljen Designs to create the cover of a winter coloring book. Then, I enjoyed looking through all the stamps on a search for more cute winter ones. (There are quite a few, by the way!)
I chose three more and also printed the bunny as a coloring page. The pages are perforated so they can easily be removed after coloring - to be posted on the refrigerator, of course! I also made the cover so that it can be refilled with different winter images. I wanted to use my new snow marker, but what a problem! Don't know if I got a defective one or what - but after using it one time no more "snow" would come out!
So, I mixed equal parts of salt and baby powder and sprinkled it over glue. What do you think?
