Handmade tag: Merry and Bright

Happy Saturday All!!!

My latest handmade tag was inspired by the wintry temperatures we have been experiencing here in Central Texas. The sheer real estate on the #12 tag was perfect for the extra large glittery MAMBI chipboard snowman.

Even though I had no snowflake stamps to use, I substituted a flower stamp I got in my Faber Castell gelatos set. The distress stain directly on the stamp worked like a charm.

I trust you enjoy this tag as much as I did making it.

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Sneak peek: Chill in the air

In the past few weeks there has been a noticeable CHILL in the air. That has inspired to create something with a little winter feel to it.

I could hardly wait to use Tim Holtz' new winter/christmas embellishments. This snowflake had such gorgeous scrollwork detail I used my gesso and picket fence distress stain to go to town.

Stay tuned for some  more goodies in the coming days!

I am happy to be ushering in a NEW year with a new blog. I just returned from a glorious Caribbean cruise aboard the Norwegian Sun. This photo was taken while holding one of my favorite magazines after a day of enjoying the sun in the Bahamas. To all of those who wonder about the beautiful BLUE waters behind me.... They were ice COLD. The temperature was the only way I realized what time of year it was in this part of the world. Thanks to my friend Melina I decided to upgrade to this new blog and with some help I may even begin Vlogging.

Wishing everyone who reads this a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
