Etched Christmas Vase

I created this lovely vase I purchased at the dollar tree with vinyl and etching cream. I simply cut out snowflakes from the Winter Lace cartridge and a letter E from Plantin School book. I coated the etching cream with a couple of thick layers around my vinyl and left it on the vase for about 40 minutes. I then washed off the cream and had a quick and inexpensive gift. I can't wait to make more.

Snow men ornaments

I created my version of the snowman ornaments that are going around on youtube. I used a floor wax for the glue on the inside and a clear glitter. I placed pipe cleaners, black embellishments, orange card stock, and pom poms on the snowmen with hot glue. I LOVE the way they turned out. I can't wait to pass them out as gifts to all the small children in our family.

Handmade Bows

I watched a tutorial that Sara (Pink By Design) created using her Big Shot and Die for bows. I decided to attempt this on my own since I do not own either of those items. I simply cute a piece of 12X12 paper into 12 inch strips, then cut in half. I cut a slight angle at the end of the strips and then punched a hole on both sides of the strips with my Crop a dile. I folded the strips as directed and placed a brad in the middle. I loved the way the homemade bows turned out. I made a lot of them for all the presents under the tree.

Sweet Layout

I used the K & Company Carolyn Gavin paper stack, K & Co chipboard letters Brenda Walton, The Songbird cartridge for the flower stem, circle for flower is Plantin Schoolbook, and I used the I top for the brads in the center with coordinating paper.

Another layout with the My Mind's Eye wonderful winter stack. I punched two holes in the top to tie a green bow. I also cut out some snowflakes from the paper stack and popped them up with dimensionals.

Christmas Layout

I have finally caught up my Christmas layouts from last year! I am so proud of my progress (:
This layout is made from the Wonderful Winter Glitter Christmas Paper by My Mind's Eye. This
paper is so cute. I used the wreath from the Christmas cart and stickled the ribbon. I also used a Martha
punch for the side border.
