Decor Element Ornament

Good Friday Morning!  Today's Bloggers' Challenge is to create an ornament.  Mine is super easy, but I really like how it turned out.  Take a look and then I'll share what I did.

 
My snowflake is from the Flurry Decor Element.  All I did was take a clear ornament and added the Decor Element!  Super easy!  Then I added a bow with Real Red Polka Dot Grosgrain and to hang my ornament, I used Gold Elastic Cording.

With the Holiday Extravaganza, you can get the Flurry Decor Element absolutely FREE!  Simply purchase $50 from the Holiday Gift Giving Guide and then choose this as your FREE Decor Element.

A Sneak Peek and Two Sketches

I have TWO cards to share today.  First is a sneak peek of two of the new In Colors that will be available at noon on July 1st right here.  My card also follows today's sketch challenge on CPS.

 

I took some creative liberty in my sketch, making it an A2 size card instead of a long card.  I used a Sponge Dauber with Melon Mambo ink to create the Kind Thoughts Brocade Stencil on Whisper White card stock.  I added a Clear Rhinestone to the middle of the brocade.  I stamped "thanks" from Fundamental Phrases (a must have word set!) with Melon Mambo.  It's punched out with the Word Window Punch and layered onto the new Label Maker Punch in Rich Razzleberry.  My faux brads are Melon Mambo. 

What do you think of that stencil?  The new Definitely Decorative catalog (available on July 1) has some awesome new wall decor and stencils.  I'll have a link posted when it becomes available.  You won't want to miss checking it out!

Now for my second card.  A few weeks back I won a "goody bag" from Stamps and Smiles for participating in the Fresh Batch sketch.  Well, I received my goodies--a few stamped images and some gorgeous pink and brown ribbon!!  I thought it was only fitting to participate in this week's sketch using the goodies I won.

 

These little cupcake images are adorable.  For this one, I cut it out with the largest oval Nestability using my Big Shot (don't forget the Starter Edition Kit is only available until June 30!).  I colored the image using my Stampin' Pastels.  Then I went over the pastels with a Blender Pen just to set the chalk and to get a smoother finish.  My Pretty in Pink panel is embossed with the Texture Plates #1 Small Dots.  I added a piece of the pretty brown ribbon I won and then layered it onto Chocolate Chip card stock.  And as you can see, I took some more creative liberty and flipped the sketch to work with my image.

Don't forget that these sketch challenge are for EVERYONE!  So come on and join the fun!

Spooky Spider Decor Element--a Must Have!!

Yesterday I got a box of goodies that included my new Spooky Spider Decor Element.  I put it on a jar that I purchased a while back from Ikea.  My Spooky Spider is the medium size and he was just a bit long for the jar.  But, I just trimmed his legs a little. 

 

Isn't he spooktaclular???  I put a piece of white paper in just so you can see him.  The ribbon is Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango Striped Ribbon (perfect Halloween colors).

Here's the really spooky picture...

 

Why is the really spooky picture?  Because look at all those Snickers that will be in my house and will hopefully make it to Halloween!!  LOL!

Here's the flyer on the Spooky Spider Decor Element.  It's only available until the end of October.  But, you need to decorate now so don't wait!  Go to my Online Ordering today. (Scroll down to yesterday's post about all the FREE stuff you'll get if you order by September 30).
