Now, let's get hopping! ;) Today I made two projects to share. I have so many ideas in my head, that I can't make them all fast enough! LOL The ornament is my fave, but the grands LOVE bookmarks so I will make them as long as they want them. :) 

The base of my ornament is the doily die. Love that die, it's so versatile. The next layer is the fabulous new rosette die! Isn't it pretty in plaid!? Then the top layer is the rolled flower die with the stitched leaves. Add a sheer bow, some string pearls and a sentiment and you're done! Quick and easy project.

I used the vintage banner die and the new release, Fun Variety stamp set, for the sentiment.

The bookmark was also a quick and easy project. Cut your basic shape (I like the fishtail banner style), then add your embellishments and sentiment.

The picture doesn't show it very well, but for the snowman's face, I used the scalloped circle die, then dotted with sharpie for the "coal" eyes and mouth; cut a tiny triangle for the carrot nose. His hat I cut by hand to fit the "head" - the size of the hat will, of course, will depend what you use for the head. I added liquid embroidery (I think it is also known as puffy paint? It goes on wet and dries puffy.) for snow, twine and bling for the hat band and berries. The tiny holy is from Emma's, From Our Family to Yours stamp set.

On the back I used the Just Tags stamps that coordinate with the tags.

Remember, the more blogs you comment on, the better your chances to win one of two gift certificates to the My Creative Time store!!! So if you missed the beginning, head over to Emma's blog to start, and if you've come from Ruthie's blog you're right on track. Tracy is up next so happy hopping! :)
