FCCB Sketch Challenge # 236

This week at FCCB we are having a sketch challenge.  Here is the sketch below for you to interpret any way you want. Make sure you add a Cricut cut and let us know what cartridge you used.

This is the card I came up with using the sketch as my guide.

I used Create -A- Critter for my penguin.  I think he is so adorable. I added a red ribbon for his scarf and black flat-back pearls for is eyes.  The paper I used is from DCWV "Artic Wishes".

The sentiment is a  Fiskar's stamp set called "Season's Greetings".

I used a Martha Stewart snowflake punch for my top border and added some blue bling.  I heat embossed it with silver embossing powder in three layers.

For my scalloped border I used Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge.

For the little dots of snow I used white Glossy Accents.  To finish it off I added the white ribbon with the silver edges. 

Now it's your turn. Link up your project at FCCB this week.

Bye, Bye for Now

12 Days of Christmas Day 6

Half way through, this is going fast. I want to share what my partner in the 12 Day of Christmas swap at  Scrapin Vintage made for me today.

DAY SIX

 Don't you love these crocheted snowflakes?  I think they are gorgeous.

For my gift to her I bought six different crafting items, bottle caps, tiles, stickers, trims and flowers. Hope she can use them.  I'll be back tomarrow for day seven.

Bye Bye for now,

12 Days Of Christmas Swap Day 2

Here is Day 2 as I promised. You might have to scroll down to see Day One.  For Day 2 we had to make or buy two items. I decided to make altered picture frames.  The first one I did in black and white. The second is my swap partners color choice of blue and white.

DAY TWO   

I painted the frame which I bought at Walmart black then I covered it with paper in a harlequin pattern from DCWV Halloween stack Midnight Spell. I applied it with Mod podge.  After it was all dry I attached black braid trim to the edge.  The flowers and brads are from Paper Studio.  I used more mod podge to shape the flowers they were very flat.  The bling is from Recollections at Micheal's. The sentiment is a stamp by Emma at My Creative Time called Just Simply Live.

 

Here is the white and blue frame.  I painted it white and then added the snowflakes. The large ones are from Paper Studio and the smaller ones are from Jollee's stickers.  I used a blue glitter pen to draw the lines around the inside and outside edges. The word stickers in a white glitter are from Glitz & Glitter. Even though the snowflakes were from different makers they fit together well.  This will be a fun frame for winter pictures not just for Christmas.

Here they are side by side.

Now for what my awesome swap partner Rhonda sent me.

HUNKA, HUNKA CHOCOLATE!!!!!

Have you ever seen a Reese's this big before? Not me. I bet I can eat the whole thing though.  It may take a few days but hey I' m up for the challenge.

Hope you enjoyed, be back shortly for day three.  Then tomarrow I will open day four and post it.

Bye Bye for now,

Kim
