Snow Much Fun

Loved this picture of Ariel and her cousins from a couple of winters ago. They had a blast on the hills over winter break.



I love the colors in Echo Parks Everbody Loves Christmas so that is the paper I used for this one. Other supplies Bubblegum Mist, Prima pearls, Krexions punch, American Craft thickers & adhesive, My Little Shoebox alphas, and a little stickles to add some glitter to the trees.

Hot glue, Prima Ribbon & Tattered Angels mist

So I have been doing a little playing with ribbon today. I grabbed the hot glue gun , some fabulous Prima ribbon both grey & off white, and my Tattered Angels Jack Frost mist. I used a 1 1/4" circle punch to get a little circle to start my flower on. First tie the end of the ribbon in a knot and place a small dab a hot glue in the center of the circle and place ribbon on top.


Now you want to slowly add a little hot glue around the bottom of the knot, then place the ribbon on top of the glue and just work your way around until you have the flower the size you want.



Once you are done this is what your flower will look like.



I also did this with off white ribbon, except when I was done I used the Tattered Angels Jack Frost mist to add some color to the flower.



I am loving how these flowers look. I'm sure I will be making lots of these!!

Travel fun

Today i'm going to give you and idea for a little travel fun for one of my DT projects at A Walk Down Memory Lane. Road trips can be so long and boring for the kids. Here is a fun way to keep them entertained with your crafting abilities. Check out this fun Tic Tac Toe travel game. Everything you need in one fun container.



Here is a picture of the game inside.


This game is super easy to make. I used one of my empty Maya Road containers, which works perfect for the pieces. I used my Imaginisce I-top tool and the medium magnet daddies for the pieces. Now no matter how bumpy the ride the pieces will never fly around! The paper of choice for this projects wasEcho Park Life Is Good paper and stickers. For an added little flair I also used the Imaginisce I-rock tool to put the bling on the front of the container.
