Kitty & The Ornament

Here is the beginning of my Christmas creations.  I used "Kitty & The Ornament" by Fred, She Said.    Having a fabulous time with my sister Darsie and her kids.

Meljen's Design Challenge #86 - Twine or Ribbon

Here is my creation using "Santa's Little Helper" from Meljen's Design's latest release.  Our challenge this week is to use ribbon or twine on your creation.

I colored my elf with Copic markers.  My designer paper came from my sister Darsie's craft room.  I used the snowflake edge punch by EKSuccess.  Next I added cream seam binding and soft orange rick rack.  Then I put my twine in the snowflake buttons (Look really hard, it is there).  My finishing touch are the soft orange pearls.

Belli Challenge #131 - Thanksgiving

Here is a creation using "Give Thanks Nested Frames & Occasions" by JustRite Stampers.  This week's Belli Challenge theme is anything to do with Thanksgiving (Leaves, Cornucopia).  My designer paper is from my sister Darsie's craft room.  I used the Fancy Tags 2 by Spellbinders.  My finishing touches are two leaf brads and a gold/brown leaf bow.
