Santa brought me this ornament die (Memory Box) and I couldn't wait to give it a try. This month's Sparkles Christmas Challenge was the perfect place. Pat G. picked the challenge which is: Lots of Glitter....I die cut the ornament 3 times. The base was cut in mirror silver. I used red glitter paper for the Ornament and the Sentiment and of course green glitter paper for the ivy. I used a Sizzix embossing folder to give the background paper some dimension. Almost forgot...the sentiment die is from Echo Park, Designer Dies and yes, it cut through the glitter card stock....sometimes glitter can give me a bit of a head ache.
How about playing along with this month's challenge. And as always there is a prize. So create your masterpiece, and post it on the Sparkles Christmas Challenge. You might win....and better than that, everyone who visits will see your spectacular creation!
Do you make New Year's Resolutions? I used to, but then I didn't keep them so I've decided it's better for me to make goals throughout the year. My goal is to get my dies and rubber stamps organized and cataloged. It is honestly quiet an overwhelming project. I started a few years back and quit before I gave it a good effort. So......the day after Christmas I decided to begin. I happily found that I had given it a better effort than I thought, I had actually die cut several of the dies and now they needed to be put into a master book.....I am now caught up with the ones I'd already cut, but there are many more that need cutting. I'm lucky because I have an area I can leave this project set up and I am determined to not put it way until I am finished. There will be no out of sight, out of mind this year. When I finish the die project, I will share......
I'm off......Again, I send wishes for a Most Happy New Year. May it be filled with Love, Peace and Health. Until Next time......
