Some one is hosting a challenge where each month starting now until Dec. You make different Christmas Cards so In Dec. hopefully you will have enough to send out.

This months theme was Snow or snowflakes.

This Card I used a snowflake Embossing folder for my back ground.

Stamp: 

Micheal Abrams Christmas Bunnies.

I colored the bunnies with Water color pencils and a Blender pen from Stamp in Up.

The glitter is all Stickles.

This is one of my favorites that I did. 

This stamp Technique is called Triple time Stamping.

My first time Using Washi Tape

I got some Washi Tape for Christmas. I have never used it before. I had some and gave it away because it just set on the shelf.
A guy that my husband works with got me a Dallas Cowboy jersey for Christmas. I made him a Thank you Card Using the tape.

Inside of card:

Snowman Swap

In my card swap group, in the middle of the month we do some kind of Random Card And Goody Swap. December's theme was A card with a snowman on it. The Goody was send some snow. We were to use our imaginations on the snow. So I am sending my partner some Snowflake glitter and a Snowball cake. You know the kind that has the chocolate cake with cream in the center, and the marshmallow with coconut covering the Marshmallows.

I made one for my door, and then made 4 more for my husband to give to his secretaries.

What you need:

Frame (this one is 11X 14)

Spray Paint

Ribbon

Glue Gun

And  ornaments

1. Take glass out of frame.

2. Spray paint frame.

3. Cut ribbon at different lengths

3. Run ribbon through the ornament.

4. Glue Ribbon on the back of frame. Start with the middle ribbon first.

and then Glue the other two some what close to the middle ribbon.

5. Tie a bow, Glue it to the top of the frame.

6. Cut an extra piece of ribbon, make a loop with it (this is how i hung it to the wreath holder)

Glue it to the back of the frame.

I really want to make one for Valentines, or St. Patty's day!! I think it would be so cute!!!!

Journal # 7

Challenge # 7 was a favorite quote. My most favorite I already used on the cover of my Journal:
'She turned her Can'ts into cans~
and her dreams into plans'

So here is my Second favorite quote:

The Technique is called fused Bag.

I didn't like this technique very much. I am not sure that I did it right.
I need to find me a white bag and play some more with this technique.
