Shadowbox Snowman Card

Hope everyone in enjoying some winter cheer.  We had snow in San Antonio just a week or so ago - what a special treat for us - it was so beautiful.  This came from a showy inspiration.  Hope you like it.






In hindsight, I should have put the "handmade by..." label  onthe inside of the box


I created the box design from scratch (with trial and error).  Used Lawn Fawn dies for the hills, I believe it was cottagecutz for the snowman, various snowflake dies with white glitter paper, "Merry Christmas" is a Stephanie Bernard/Sizzix die, and the trees I cant remember.

Any questions please PM and I will see if I can get you more info.

More Wonderfully Wicked And Beautifully Bewitching... Wacky Witch Hats! (2nd & 3rd of 5)

I have 2 more witch hats (of 5) to share....
 
For my 2nd and 3rd hats I stared with basic Black and Orange witch hats from the dollar store. 

I put a sheer orange ribbon under  the base of one hat with a black and white stitched ribbon and on the other an orange boa.

They each have the wobbly spider on the tip with bows. those spiders wiggle while you walk (or ride as witches do)
 
They each have décor sticks I spray-pained orange (over spray got on the driveway and my DH scrubbed it up for me) .




More Black Roses -  Again I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge for the 3D flowers.  On the top one I edged them with orange neon for a nice little spooky rose garden.
And the glow in the dark spiders for each (even under the rim that show when you have the hats on- Yieks!

 


For the "BOO"  I have a base of Jumbo Polka Flowers from  one set in Orange and the other in Black. On top of that I used an ornamental lace die in black, then a scalloped circle in orange glitter paper.  The "BOO" letters and design base with cut in  Cricut Design Space using a cut included with Circuit Access - from Home for the Holidays - Fall & Winter set. On the letter part of each, I used a clear sparkle pen.







 They each have bows up the back side - princess witches I dare say!  Love the Polka-dot ribbon (from the dollar store)!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Here is the first layout for our January club kit (2012 Highlights) - WOW is that bright – like highlighters – get it?

Sorry for the bad photo - I already had the flip-flaps attached to the page protector

 
Tag along -- look at all the great tags for journaling.  Remember- Journaling is a very important element to your layouts - it passes on the story for future generations long after our own memories have faded.

The only CTMH papers on this are Crystal blue, black, and white daisy cardstock.  The other papers and embellishments are something other than CTMH.  For the bright title block - I ran a mat through the xyron and put strips of ribbon over the sticky side, then used a paint pen to outline it.  I used Art Philosophy cart for the lettering and tags.   

 
 
 
 
I also used 3x3 flip-flaps to add more photos on certain month as needed.
Look at the paper-clip ribbon “bows”.  I had originally saw something like this at the craft store (six for $4) but I knew these would be super easy (and cheaper) to make on my own. 

 Enjoy!
