Melted snowmen


 This is a little bit of everything snowman. I had purchased several items quite a while ago from the dollar tree and had everything in my stash to make these cute little guys.
I  started with Dusters that were fluffy, Cut them apart and placed them on a clear plastic dinner plate.  The head of the snowman was a Christmas decoration also from the dollar tree that I Glued in the center of the puddle. Added buttons and ribbon around the neck to kind of tied all together and a little sprig of greenery behind it. Super cute, easy and fun to make! After I was all done with it, I strong fairy lights through it, and so they light up at night.

I used an embossing folder on White cardstock , a light blue ink to create the sky. I  lightly went over the trees, (embossed part) with a light green ink.  I used my deer die cuts from brown paper in my stash. a stitched die cut on white from my stash, for the sentiment, and Crystal glitter …. Again from my stash, over the trees and around the sentiment. I layered it all together and used more crystal glitter for the snow at the bottom of the card.

PIP CHALLENGE 2550
For this last challenge of the season, I have chosen A fun die cut gift card by our sponsor this week lawn Fawn     lift the flap
 It is a one piece day set in multiple sizes, and I have chose the smallest one in the largest one for this gift card. For the base card, I used a light blue and put a 
white piece of paper on the inside with a small sentiment on the small card. I layered it on top, same color scheme, and added a floral paper with three gemstones. It was a fun little die to work with. I made this one into a birthday because I needed a quick gift card but the holidays are a fun time to do quick little cards like this, and have it on hand!

Wooden Christmas gift blocks


My sister came home for Christmas and we always do a crafting week while she’s here. This year I had my husband pre-cut 4 x 4 wood into different lengths. We painted them white and then we decorated them with ribbons and floral pics. We each did three as a set and they turned out super cute. This picture does not do them justice.
