A Cheerful Christmas Ornament!

 A closer look!
Merry Christmas to all! I hope everyone is ready for the big day and that you have the true spirit of Christmas! This is the last challenge for the year for The Paper Shelter! Be sure and join in as there is truly a fabulous prize to be had. I have chosen the oh so cute "A Cheerful Snowman" to make a Christmas ornament with! You can find him by clicking on the link! I had some metal discs and wanted to use them for Christmas ornaments. I printed my digi and then cut it out with a stitched circle. After coloring with copics, I added pearl drops for the snow falling, liquid glass to the nose and coal, a Christmas bow and finally some glitter to add a little sparkle! Which the lights on my tree pick up so it looks so pretty! Don't you love that you can use these digi's for so many things? I do and will be making more ornaments in the future with digi stamps from The Paper Shelter!  May each of you have a "Christ" mas filled with our greatest gift, Jesus!  Merry Christmas to all and see you next year!

A "Wee" bit of Christmas!


 It seems every year I get behind on my Christmas cards and I need to keep working on them! This is one of my favorite "Wee" Stamps. I love this artist's work and always look forward to the new stamps when they come out. I added some wooden snowflakes and topped those with a little red rhinestone. My camera (or perhaps the photographer) can't seem to capture the sparkle on my cards. It is there and you just have to look a bit closer. I also used a bit of puffy paint for the snow falling. Another card to add to my Christmas Stash!

The Paper Shelter Birthday/Celebrations!

Good Morning fellow crafters and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop 


The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is a  "BIRTHDAY/ CELEBRATIONS" theme, which I know is extremely popular!!!! If you have landed here from Sammy Jean   then you're heading in the right direction - if not then you'll want to head on back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, as you'll not want to miss out on this one! Our Design Teams have worked very hard and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter Website and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot.

I have chosen the lovely "Heart of Christmas" for my card! This is such a versatile image and can be used for many occasions. I colored my image with Copics and fussy cut it out. My paper came from the neverending scrap box. I used a sparkle pen for the little snowflakes and Liquid Glass for the ice cycles hanging on the branches. and the pretty heart she is holding. My photography skills do not show how the heart is popping  and is so shiny! I added a pre-made flower and glittered letters for the Happy Birthday Sentiment!
