Christmas Cheer Frame

 

    Well today I’m going to share one of the projects that I submitted for my design team application to Imaginisce, sadly I didn’t make the team. But after looking at who did I felt better because thier work is amazing!

   Still I wanted to share this altered frame that I made using mainly the Christmas Cheer Collection because I'm pretty proud of it.

  

 

 I made the poinsettias with the B sides from the Apple Cider & Christmas Cottage Collection and my Tim Holtz Dies.

 

 

I wanted to add a bit more texture to the frame so I added this ruffled ribbon held in place with some brads.

For my final touches I added some bling to my little Rudolph.

Thanks for stopping by today I hope you liked the frame, Make sure you hope over to see the amazing new team at Imaginisce.

Acorn Avenue for week two!

Hello All & Happy Monday!

Yes that’s right happy Monday, after its time for another great sketch over at Let’s Get Sketchy. This weeks Sketch is from our very own Jenessa.

I took a little “crafty freedom” with this weeks sketch and used hexagons instead of circles. Really I just wanted to try out my new hexagon dies from spellbinders, which I love!

Products Used: Crate Paper-Acorn Avenue Collection, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Words, MME Pin, Tim Holtz Ink, Crafters Workshop Template, Spellbinders Hexagon Dies, Mister Hueys, Washi Tape.

My title, Yep that’s my handwriting.

 

I wanted my hexagons to really stand out so I used white cardstock, but I just had to add some ink splatters.

 

I even used my dear lizzy date stamp; it’s so handy and super cute!

 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you liked my take on this weeks sketch and remember this month’s prize at Let’s get Sketchy is from C’est Magnifique.
