Artiste...Santa wreath

Santa wreath

Good evening everyone, I have been getting into the spirit of Fall and getting an early start on Christmas decor..not to mention Craft fairs.   So today I picked up a couple rolls of Tulle and a styrofoam wreath ring and started a cuttin.  I cut a bunch, and by bunch I mean ALOT of strips and started tying around the styrofoam wreath.   Two thirds of it I did red and the last third I did white.  

Ather they were all tied on,  I cut out the mittens from the Artiste cartridge from Close to my Heart..

the mittens at 4 inches, (which I ran through the Cuttlebug).. as well as the Ho Ho Ho, but the Ho Ho Ho, was cut 4 inches on white and 4 and a quarter in green to give it a shadow, and glued off center, and added a couple rhinestones ...gotta have the BLING,lol.

the boots, I could not find a cut for them, so I free handed them.

the eyes were made with circles from the Art  Philosophy cartridge..1  3/4 INCHES, for the  pink of the eye, cut in half and inked with Tim Holtz barn Red distress ink, and the eye balls ..1and 1/2 in white and 1 1/4 in black. The nose in pink at 2 inches and inked the same and hilighted with white gel pen.

Well that is about it..hope you like it. going to try to come up with other ideas for these wreaths.  Have a good night!!

Huntington layout and a giveaway!!

Close To MY Heart Huntington layout

Good morning all..Man have I been busy lately.  My Husband has had hospital stays, doctor appointments and physical therapy that has me hopping, nevermind the babysitting and regular every day chores.lol

But... I manged to get in a quick project.  I recently ordered the My Creations 6x6 canvas frame (Z1818) from Close To My Heart amd the Huntington paper pack (X7174B)  and made a small scrap layout to hang on the wall.  I LOVE the Hintington papers.  I love fall colors anyways.  I used a metal dragonfly I got from Michaels to embellish it and I made my own flower for it from a paper punch and some Lindy Stamp gang spray.  The Frame cut and the leaf border and the mostly hidden Colonial white paper honeycomb cut were all from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge (Z1905)

Other supplies I used was Modge podge to adhere the first white mat. the rest of the layers I used atg gun, fabritac or my zig pen.

I also made the stick pen from some beads I purchased at Walmart. I also used buttons from my stash and Glue Dots vellum adhesive sheets and CTMH crystal gems.
