Ch{all}enge Masters Card Challenge

Here is my card for the challenge. It had to be round in shape, have blue on it and be Christmas theme. I used a Stampin Up stamp for the round part of it, then cute it out, added some stickles and a couple die cuts from the sheet in the paper pack.

Hope to see you there!

My Mind's Eye Blog Challenge

This is a layout I did for the My Mind's Eye Blog challenge. I used the Colorful Christmas line. They had these cute little Christmas tree pop outs so I added some bling to make the ornaments pop on the tree.

WOOHOO!!!!!

Ok everyone I just got word that i'm going to be published in the November issue of Scrapbook News and Review Magazine :) The issue is set to come out November 22.!!!!!

Counting down til Christmas!

Ok.....Soon it will be time to countdown til Christmas! So I made this cool project for the Posh Designs team. I took a clear picture frame from the store. (the kind where the pic just slides in).

First I had hubby drill 4 holes in the top for the rings to go through. Next I painted the sides of the frame and the edges of the numbers. Grabbed some stuff to embelish with and got busy!

for the numbers I used acrylic paper. They are 2 inches wide by 3 inches long. I think that regular transperency paper would work also.

I did a little stamping on the frame to begin with. Staz-on ink will work well for this. After I was done stamping I just started decorating. When I was done this is what I had! A great contdown to Christmas decoration. I think I will be making one that I can use the whole year.

Time 4 a change

New hair style so of course I had to take pics. I created this layout for a challenge over at Challenge Masters. This layout had to have some journaling on it and the word "time" in the title.

Christmas Tree Ornament

Made this ornament as one of my Posh Designs projects. I took a simple paper mache ornament that cost $1. Grabbed my mod podge, some pattern paper, ribbons, buttons, and whatever else I could find and went to town. I cut the stripes of paper into 1/2 x 1/2 inche squares of paper and used the glue to adhere. Once I was all done with putting the paper on I covered the entire thing with a coat of mod podge, added some liquid pearl on the top to look like snow and let dry overnight. Then added all my embelishments and my master piece was done :) This would be a fun project to make with the kids. It was a little messy but not to bad! Now I have a fun, homemade one of a kind ornament for my tree!!!
