Puffy Paint and Stickles!



This week's EONAC was to use something messy. I have included acrylic paint, puffy paint and Stickles on this project. Originally, I also included heat embossing, but that part of the project got trashed. I tried to emboss snow falling on the glass to this frame, but it smudged, and then didn't fit with the popped-up snowmen. And strangely, the frame came with slightly tinted glass and made the image look funky, so it's just as well.

The image is Flaky Friends by SU! and is also what I used for Tracy's Christmas Card challenge this month. I am entering this project as my 3-d project this month. It was a bit cuter in my head, but I like how it turned out overall. The snowflakes are from that never-ending stash of confetti I've been trying to use up. The ribbon is from Target after Christmas a couple years ago. The frame is from the craft store, or maybe even the dollar store. I've had it around that long!

Tomorrow is the last day of school before Justin is on Spring Break, so I don't know how much I'll be creating next week. Maybe I can sneak some time in this weekend while DH is in town (he leaves again Sunday). We'll see. I hope you all have some quality crafting time in your future! Thanks for looking!

Lime and Cherry Snowmen




Parts of these cards have been sitting on my desk all week. Just today I took the time to put them all together. It's so nice to have 5 cards done in one sitting! This Flaky Friends group of snowmen is one of my all-time favorites, which is why I chose to use it for the March challenge in Tracy's Christmas Card Challenge. I will make my 3-d project this coming week - it's in my head, I just have to find the time to complete it. I hope it's as cute in reality as it is in my head!

The sketch for this batch of cards is the CSP 158 sketch from March 14. DP is from scraps of DCWV Holiday Slab. The red is Real Red from SU! and the green is from DCWV Spring Mat Stack. I used snowflakes from a pack of confetti (SO many snowflakes in that package!!), and some linen thread from SU!. I really like the rounded corners.

I'm off to run to the grocery store, such fun on a Saturday afternoon! I hope you are having a good weekend. Thanks for looking!
