Christmas in July

I know it's July, but it's never too early to start making your Christmas cards and gifties.

This adorable snowman is from the newest set at TAWS.  Aptly names, Fa-La-La, I think you will love the images and sentiments in this set.

I paper pieced the snowman's hat.  And colored him with Copics.

I hope you go over to TAWS and check out the new July release stamp sets.

I'll see you tomorrow with another Taws project.

Hugs,

Marcy

Cuttlebug Challenge #6

This is my submission for challenge #6 over at the cuttlebug blog. The challenge was to use any Christmas and any border folder. I don't have any of the border folders, so I used the Swiss Dots folder as the border.

Go check out the blog and you could win the Christmas tree folder. http://www.thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/

I love the white on white; I see it everywhere now. Peace came from JOTS.

Holiday Card Class

I am teaching a Holiday Card Making class at AC Moore in Carle Place on November 25th. Here are a few samples of the cards we will be making.

I used the Magic Colored Pencil Technique to color in the image and of course, the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder.

Using JOTS, here is a Hanukkah card.

Tomorrow I will upload the photo of the card I made for the challenge over at the Cuttlebug Blog. http://www.thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ Every Monday morning, Nilda uploads a new challenge with the design team's submissions. Go check it out...you could win something, too!!
