Day 7-Christmas Tag


Day 8- Make a project using chipboard-Christmas Themed


Day 9-Dry or Heat Embossed Christmas Themed


Day 10-Post your favorite technique

I dont have 1 favorite because I like to add a lot of variety into my projects. I love to chalk or ink the edges of my cards, paper, die cuts. Love using stickles and paint. Paper piecing and sometimes cutting the shapes out on my own. Its fun to just pick up a pencil and paper and draw something out. In fact my Santa hat on my layout  I hand drew and added cotton to it so it looks fuzzy.

Day 11-Make a project that is distressed-Christmas Themed


Day 12- Finish a project you started

This was a fun challenge for me. A few things I have never done before, so it was a first for me. Thanks for stopping by.

  4. I love looking at your blog for inspiration! Sometimes, I have the same papers as you do but don't know what to do with them, and you give me lots of ideas. You're very creative!

    I must tell you how much I love that bird project on day 12! I love birds and that is so cute! Did you knit or crochet it? I've been thinking about taking one up as a hobby to make those adorable things!
