It's ccccold here in the Truckee Meadows (Reno area) today.  I think the high at our house was 38^o F.  The low is supposed to be in the "teens" tonight.  I'm so thankful for a warm home right now.

When the mercury heads down, I get a crafty or cooking urge.  Sometimes both, like today.  Time to Clown Around and take a break from holiday paper crafts.

Ever since my Top Note Scarecrow and Pirate, I've been dreaming up more characters.  What do you think?  He's super easy.  Except for the Top Note base, and his hat, I used ALL punches.

Here's a slice so you can see what I popped up and what I didn't.

By the way, I'm absolutely in love with the new Stampin' Trimmer.  I used it to cut and score my base before running it through the Big Shot.  It's so nice to have one tool at hand to cut and score quickly.  Sure saves room on my work table.  Click to read my review on the new Stampin' Trimmer.
