Glorious Sunday to You

It's sunny and cold out today, weather forecast this next week is the teens during the day.....that means even colder nights and chilly mornings! This past week I had a tooth break and pre for crown, not my type of fun and along with that Grand Jury too! The Fun never ends....LOL

Come And Get It Challenge this week is all about Making Gifts and Meighan is our hostess, well if your the crafty type of person there are so many options!

You can check out the wonderful selection at Split Coast Stampers in the tutorials or cruise Pinterest.

Be sure to stop by and check out the fabulous creations from the Design Team

I was at odds as what to make for the challenge but I finally decided after I went thru my craft drawers and found some 2" Clear Acrylic tiles that I'd bought many moons again.

I've made one into a Ornament and the other is a Magnet

So the instructional steps to making these are as follows

1. Stamp Image with Black Stazon....heat emboss

2. Using Acrylic paint to color......heat emboss

3. Using Versa-Mark cover entire tile and heat emboss with sparkly embossing powder

4. Cut card stock/designer paper for backing

5. Using Red Line Tape (tacky tape) hold card stock to tile and edge with tape

6. Remove liner on tape and cover all edges with art glitter

7. Cut Magnet to finish or drill hole for hanging

OSAAT #190 Let It Snow

Good Chilly Morning!

Weather had turned cold and we got about 4" of snow then we had a warming trend with temperatures up in the 40's. Now it's back cold again it was 3 degree's in town this AM, well until the sun comes up and it get colder......got the wood stove blazing to keep the house warm.

Over at One Stitch At A Time the challenge is Anything Goes!

My card this week I'm using the image from Stitch Bear's Digi Outlet called The Inviting Hug by Reeces Scrap Pieces......these are some adorable snow people.

I printed out 2 images so that I could have the center snow person stand out a bit more, with all the fussy cutting that I did I think you can actually tell. Love shimmer and shine from Paper Temptress paper that I used the snowflakes die cut on

Hello and Welcome

After being gone for almost 3 weeks on vacation, I spent 2 weeks in California with family and 3 days in Seattle with my oldest son......which was the highlight of my trip because he took me for a Helicopter Tour around Seattle up to Snoqualmie Falls, yes he was my pilot! I got some awesome photos to share later on, tho vacations are never long enough I'm glad to be back home!

So now onto my posting for Come And Get It Challenges we are using a sketch this week, and you can rotate, flip or use a round format just as long as you use the sketch.

You really can't tell by the photo but I embossed the ornaments with Pipe Dreamink Clear Opals embossing powder and edged them with silver distressed inks to add dimension then I wanted more sparkle so stickles was rubbed on the snow flurries at the bottom of the card with a dab to the mini snow flakes

If you want to play along here's the sketch below to use
