I love your blog but I would love to see more tutorials on different techniques. I love so many of the projects but don't really know how to use half the tools people talk about. Thanks for the chance to win some great candy.

Gingersnaps Color Challenge- Metallics

Hi Everyone and happy Monday. Oh how it is so nice to have the power, heat, and water back on. On Saturday morning we started having outages and by Saturday Night it was out for good. No Heat, No Water, but thank goodness I love candles. Lit a bunch and played some Scrabble with my husband when the children went to sleep. Nice to have it all back although we are under a boil water advisory.

Today I'm sharing with you all, the project I did for the recent Metallics Challenge at Gingersnap Creations. I'm a huge TENseconds Studio fan and just knew a canvas was going to come to fruition. I used some beautiful Serendipity Stamps, (these guys are also the sponsor for January) and even the stars are created using some of those stamps. I stamped on the silver side of the metal, then using a detail tool, went over the ink on the image and PRESTO, these little gems were born. How fun is that!

So here she is, my new canvas project using Serendipity Stamps, TENseconds Studio , and distress ink. Enjoy

A little Gift

The most glorious gift of the season for me. I created this card for the new color challenge at Gingersnap Creations. Gold, Green and Purple work so well together. The stamp is from the Christmas Sheet from Hearts in Touch. Simple but striking I think.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. May the spirit of the season bless you with good health, good fortune and good friends

Merry Christmas to all of you.
