November 2012 Papertrey Blog Hop!

Hi everyone and welcome to my entry at the November Papertrey Blog Hop! I just love PTI stamps! On my card I used the warm winter wishes stamp from the Holiday Button Bits Vol 3 set. The snowman is a new release from A Day For Daisies called Snowball Scott. I actually made him look more like a her though I think :) I was so tempted to add Stickles but thought that would clash with the lace and muted colors. I'll just have to load up the next card! LOL!

I colored him with chalks and added some shading with Prismacolor pencils. It doesn't show but the white chalk is actually shimmery from my Pebbles Inc sets. I used the square die by Spellbinders and the Charming Oval die by Verve Stamps. The heart is an old brad from the stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember when you were a kid and Shrinky Dinks were all the rage? No...oh that just proves I'm old then! LOL! Well I remember and loved them so much, ahh such memories, thanks Mom! I've used shrink plastic but I found the actual Shrinky Dink plastic, made for your printer, at Michael's. Expensive, yes but with a coupon it's less painful :) This week at Jackson's Digital Expressions it's time to alter something! One of my favorite challenges. Your challenge is to alter some type of container (new or recycled) and the theme is Holiday or Winter. I altered a Crystal Light container and I used the new release image Finishing Touch on Shrinky Dink plastichttp://sewmanyways.blogspot.com/2012/1 and cut it out with my Spellbinder's die. I punched a snowflake and shrunk it with my heat gun and adhered it with Glossy Accents, love that stuff for attaching small elements!
