Whachadoin' Wednesday Challenge #14 and another sketch player too.

Ok so let me start by saying I know it is Thursday! Sorry for my tardiness with this (and many other things lately) but my son and my family were in dire need of family time yesterday without stamping and computers! I sometimes get so caught up in all of this stuff that some of the more important things are being neglected. So I needed a day to re-evaluate and restructure my schedule. So now we are back to regularly scheduled progaming-a day late, lol!

This week's challenge if you choose to accept it .....

Time to start thinking about different ways to decorate that tree or even our house. Create an ornament using SUINK stamps (or any stamps you choose). There are so many different ideas for this one, I can not wait to see yours.

Can you believe how close we are to Christmas?! Better get creating.

If you choose to play along please remember to leave a comment so we can come on over and check out your creation. I need lots of ideas. When you upload please use the key words SUINKWWC14 - this will help us find you with a search.

So here is my creation for this challenge. I began with a glass snowflake ornament. I rubbed some glue and glitter on the ornament and then let it dry. Next I stamped this adorable little snowlady from the Snow Day set on Whisper White and colored her with markers. I added some of the same glitter to the snow and snow flakes to pull it together. The sentiment needed to be altered to fit my snowflake.. hope Denise don't mind, lol!

And now here is another player in my Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge week 43.

Reuse, Reduce and Recycle

I have had this idea in my head for a few weeks and finally was pushed to make it by todays Ways to Use it Challenge on SCS. The Challenge was to use scissors in different ways. I used the scissors to curl the ribbons and cut out the stars. This was really a fun project but the colored M&M's are NOT cheap! Just a warning, lol. Here is a picture of the centerpiece alone.






Here is a before and after. As you can see I used an empty Fuze bottle! These bottles are great for this type of project because the label peels off easy the the numbers on the bottle come off really easy with nail polish remover. The bottles are pretty too!





And then I was playing around with one of my photoshop programs to see if I could make a type of collage of the close up pictures. I think I made them too small though???

Stamps: In the Stars and the jumbo star wheel

Paper: Whisper White and Real Red

Ink: Night of Navy

Techniques: ribbons, markers, rub ons, scissors, circle punch and lots of M&M's
