Sorry I’m posting late. My grandson came in from SD last night and the other grand kids had to spend the night. So it was crazy around here. The way I love it to be!!! Nothing like having the kids around. Does not happen enough.

The image I choose to use from Besties for my card is image #100010. I did cut her out. The paper I used is from Hot off the press and it perfect for a scrapbook page but I just love this sheet so I used the bottom half on the outside and on the inside.

This is what the inside look like. I did not want to cover anything. I’m going to write my sentiment with white ink.

I sprayed some silver sparkle and added some white dots for some snowflakes. A little star dust sticklers on the tree. The Cardinals are from a die cut.

Red gems for the trim on the little tree and a gold snowflake. With some sparkles.

Copic makers used to color the image.

Aleene’s true snow with some sparkles as the moon light is so nice and the snow would sparkle beautifully at night with the moon shinning.
Want to thank everyone for stopping at my blog though out the year. Be safe and have a wonderful holiday.

Kids Christmas gift

Last one for Scrapy Land challenge #32 for this year but you will see us back in 2016! So come join us again in 2015 and finish the year off right! Our theme for this challenge is all about the Holidays! I wanted to make a picture frame for the kids so they could put a new picture in it each year. Now let me tell you about this picture it is old, it was the only one I could fine right now. Emma (granddaughter) was 3 year and now she is 10 years old and Aiden my (grandson) was 7 years old and now he is 14 years old. One thing you need to remember is you need to use Scrapy Land dies, ones they sell at the store, they sell over 40 different brands and it would be a good idea if you would tell us what die you used. Scrapy Land is a Bi-Weekly challenge and you have a chance to win a gift card to Scrapy Land

Used white foam board. cut it with a rotary cutter to the size of 12” by 8 1/2”. I found a musical sheet of designer paper (wish I could of found more) and it worked out fine, the paper was 12” by 12”. I used Mod Podge matte to glue everything together.  I cut out a piece of scrap paper about the size I want the picture to be and that was 3 3/4” by 6” and I used that to decided where I wanted the picture to go. I traced around the scrap paper and the cut the piece out. 

I did color the card stock with distress inks for the flowers used was mustard seed, festive berries, barn door and aged mahogany, for the leaves crushed olive and mowed lawn. Have several pictures of the poinsettias. It is Tim Holtz’s tattered poinsettia #658261. Cut several of them out.

This is the poinsettia that is on the right side.

Spellbinder shapeabilities foliage and Impression Obsession Pine Pairs DIE215-E After shaping the flowers sprayed them wit Krylon shimmering silver. Added a few touches of Aleenes snow to the tips of the flowers. Used stickles gold glitter glue for the centers of the poinsettias. You can see here there are several red gems for the berries.
 
Not sure if you can tell here but added ribbon to the lift and right side to give this a finish look.

Here you can see the pine cones added. A little story about those. This summer The kids and I went to Door Country, it is a scenic area in the thumb area if you look at the state of Wisconsin and we took a boat over to some of the islands and spent the night and had a great time. While we where their we seen all these tiny pine cones so we stared picking some of them up a little reminder of our trip so I wanted to add a few on the frame.

Cherry lynn design Merry Christmas set B186.
One part of my beautiful family
.

This how I did the back. Cut a 12” by 12” heavy card stock to the size of 12” by 8 1/2”. I cut a black mat and a white mat so they will have what ever they need.  Traced where the picture would go

and cut the opening. So each year they can change the picture with out any problems. Maybe you can see the ribbon on the edges now, it is a neutral color.




I know I will be back with one more posing. I hope you enjoyed my picture frame. Thanks for stopping. Sorry I guess I’m talking too much.
 I sure hope this posting turns out... I never use blogger but I could not get my Windows Live Writer to work right. Does anyone know how to get the black lines that around the pictures to go away?

Ornament 2015

We are going for a record today our temp right now are 58 degrees and in Wisconsin this does not happen so far this has been the warmest December on record. Welcome everyone it is time for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the twist for this week is to make a Christmas card/project. I decided to make my ornament as I make one every year for the grandkids and I have never made them a shaker ornament. I do have to tell you I had more glitter on me and all over my craft room but everything sparkled. Our Sponsor for this month is Besties and the image I choose to use is Holiday Fun  Image 029.

Spellbinder 2011 Heirloom ornament is what I used as the base for the pattern. I cut out several scrap sample to work with.

I used Suze Weinberg’s Beadazzles Disco Ball (silver) and the Christmas mix for the ornament area.

This is Impression Obsession Holly die DIE098-A and I added size 11 red seed beads for the berries.

Adding the snow, stampendous fan-tage crushed glass silver and gold. Then putting on the transparency.  I had this Christmas trim in my stash and thought it would make a nice frame.

Cut out the shape of the ornament using a strong designer paper to give it a strong backing. I traced the shape of the ornament on flat Styrofoam and cut it out with an craft knife and the left about 1/4” edge around the ornament to make the frame.

Here is a side view. I added some snow to the edges with glue so you could not see the Styrofoam. I also did that on the inside by adding glue and them adding some snow. The snow I used was from the Christmas department at Michaels.

These are the copic markers I used to color my image. Here is the close up of the Holiday Fun  Image 029.

The designer paper I used is from Die Cuts with a View and it is the Winter Solstice stack. The snow is from Aleene’s True Snow, but you can get it at Michaels or Joann’s stores. Added Twinklets dianond dust to add some sparkle. Used Spellbinder Nestabilites labels 40 to cut the image out. Impression Obsession Pine Tress DIE 084-V, Impression Obsession Mini Pine tress DIE217-E, Memory Box Blissful Bundle and the Holly Flourish. The snow flakes are from Martha Stewards punch called snowflake, 

Stop by and see the other designers cards everyone did a wonderful job.

Love the way the snow and the diamond dust looks. Adds a nice touch.

Used some Stampendous stickers to add to the snowman. The snowman picked up at Hobby Lobby in the ribbon department.

The sentiment is from TLC Creations. This is the way the inside turned out.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image.

I know this look a little different but I did not like the way the eyes looked when I took the close up of here head but her eyes looked good from the side view. I did use some glossy accents on them so the one eye looked shinny and I did not like that so I split the head and the body.

The body looked fine when I took the picture straight on. So hope you do not mind.

Thanks for stopping by. Love for you to join us and see what you can come up with. Have a nice week end.
