Stay'cation

Well .. my stay'cation is coming to an end :( One more day and then its back to work. I took the week off to Christmas shop and do stuff around the house. I shopped on average of 4-8 hrs per day. I'm totally exhausted and my feet are killing me. I only have 2 gifts left to buy =) I even bought myself some prezzies .. some new hoop earrings and a new dinette set. It doesn't come til Dec 12th. I was excited to get the snowmen out. I wont set the tree up til we are well into December. Here are some pics of the snowmen and the new dinette set.

Lisa's November 2011 Sketch Challenge

Here is the sketch and my LO for Lisa's Sketch Support Layout Challenge - November 2011

http://www.sketchsupport.com/p/two-page-sketches.html

Justin in our back yard making his version of an Inukshuk. He had a ton of fun making this.

I put TA glimmer screens - winter crystals screens on the blue cardstock and sprayed the entire surface with TA marshmallow glimmer mist. The paper is sooooo full of sparkles. It was hard to get a good picture of being able to see the snowflakes in the background but IRL it sure looks nice. There is hidden journalling behind the 2 pictures.

TFL and thanks for the challenge Lisa :D

Snowflake Ornaments

Last year I came across this on Splitcoaststampers and figured I just had to make them for my Christmas tree.

After Christmas last year, ornaments were on sale of course and I bought 4 boxes of 18 red balls. Must have been in a very ambitious mood .. lol

I got the balls out this afternoon and tackled figure this out. Well an hour later I have one done .. lol. I tried the 2 way glue and it didn't work that well. I then tried CTMH Liquid Glass which worked perfectly. I glittered up my black cardstock with glimmer mist and started cutting out snowflakes with my MS snowflake punch.

I sure hope the rest go well but I'm not in the mood to make anymore today.

1 down 17 to go ... at least from one box anyways .. lol

hohoho swap

These are the tags I made for Kathryn`s hohoho tag swap.

I was in a total WOW mood when I made these .. lol

I sooo wish you could see these IRL. They are very sparkly. I sprayed them with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Marshmallow and of course used some stickles.

I dug out the Cuttlebug and some Christmas embossing folders. I even cut out those trees and pop dotted them up.

TFL and thanks for hosting Kathryn =)
