This is my inspiration project for the winter scene challenge this week.  I just love the winter snowbirds from Morgan Fitzsimon's winter collection.  You can find the snowbird 1 here and snowbird here. Both images come in both coloured and uncoloured.  

I really had fun making this tea light project.  I found a pattern for the lantern at the Whiff of Joy blog. The blog has a very detailed tutorial for the tea Light holder. 

I got excited when I was colouring my little snowbird.  I used sour apple fun flock for one of the hats and diamond flower soft for the snow and the trim of the other snowbirds hat. I also used red Stickles as a trim on one hat and bow. 

I coloured the images with Copics and a white gell pen.The tree is a Tim Holtz die and , the green panel is a die, and a wooden bead and flower made up the top of the tea light.   

This was a very fun project.  Come join us this week at Fitztown.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

Re-cycle,Re-Purpose, Re-invent - Anything Goes with Recycling








Christmas is coming and I made this Christmas scene in my book case for the holidays and for the Anything Goes challenge (must be recycling) at  Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent. 
All of the digital images that I used in the Christmas scene are from the Christmas collection of CS Designs and can be found here.  I specially love the angel. 
I used some small white Christmas trees that I used in a previous years project that I sprayed with Elmers glue and sprinkled with green glitter.  I used some blocks of wood from my hubby`s scrap pile for the presents and the large tree sentiment. The wrapping and ribbon are recycled Christmas scraps. 
To complete the scene I added some little blocks and shredded some white plastic bags for the snow.  Hope you enjoy my project.  Pop over to the  Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent blog to see the creations of the rest of the design team. Hope you will join in. 
Have a great holiday season and we hope to see you back here again in 2015.

North Pole Assemblage - Altered Eclectic



I am excited I have been invited to join the design team at Altered Eclectic.  It is an Anything Goes challenge blog with very rules and lots of room for creativity. Your project must be a new and an altered piece .

I thought for this challenge I would do a Christmas themed assemblage since the season is coming up very  quickly. I had this wooden box I picked up from a thrift store that I painted white and added a gold trim to, next I added the feet (wooden door pulls) and a handle on the top (part of a napkin ring).  The background paper is from my stash of Christmas papers.

The sleigh digital image is from Kenny K Downloads and the reindeer  are Tim Holtz  die cuts.  The sleigh is held out with a Wobble Spring.  I added 2 trees and the North Pole sign recycled  from a previous project.  I sprayed the trees with a gold glitter and added a snowflake die trim, bling and cotton batten for the snow to complete the project.

Hope you will join us this time at Altered Eclectric.  Our next challenge is not until February 1st.  Pop over to the challenge blog to see the other wonderful creations created by the design team.
