BRRRR!!!!!!!! Baby, it's COLD outside. That means that it's perfect weather for slipping off to the craft room & playing with some of those new toys we got for Christmas.
 It also means to it's time for another challenge over at Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company. This week we are using TISSUE PAPER. Yep. And I had plenty of it leftover from opening gifts the other day. I just couldn't figure out how to use it ALL!!

 

 

What I've used:
ON THE FLY stamp set
Memento Rich Cocoa ink
Card stock from my stash
Tissue paper Bakers twine & a button
Glue dots (to spot glue the tissue paper)


I hope that you get a chance to play along! And HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

FOSTV CHALLENGE#52

It's CHRISTMAS EVE!!! I am so excited this year to have a little one around again to join in the festivities. Makes everything so much more interesting.

This also means that it's MONDAY & time for another great challenge over at FOSTV. This week we are challenging you to use the CRACKED GLASS technique. I love this effect & really don't know why I don't use it more often.

 

 

Please excuse the little white dots. It's reflection from the embossing powder & I couldn't get a clear picture without them showing up. I need to see if the local community college offers a photography class!!

What I've used:
CHRISTMAS CARDINALS stamp set
Memento Tuxedo Black ink & COPICS
Paper from my stash & pop dots

I know that this will be a busy week for everyone, but I really hope that you find the time to play along.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
