Gothic Arches Challenge

I have loved this site and not had the time to play and decided I needed to do something different so here is my entry for The Gothic Arches Challenge. Make sure you check out all the beautiful entries for this challenge. These gals are kicking it up a notch!

You can find the template for it here.

4 X 4 Friday Blue and Silver

There is always a first time for everything and I don't think that I have ever made a 4 x 4 knowingly! I saw that the challenge for 4 x 4 Friday was blue and silver.

I messed around with my alcohol inks earlier for another challenge and had this background sitting on my desk and wanted to use the tree stamp on it. Well since I used photo paper and not glossy card stock I found out you cannot use your heat gun on it or it will bubble. Oops~

So I took a piece of reg. card stock and colored it with chalk inks and then stamped my image and used my silver embossing powder. TA DA!! That EP has been around in my stash for toooo many years not being used. I wish you could see the silver in the background using the alcohol inks but it just won't scan!

I liked it so much I made it into a Christmas card! This only took about 5 minutes to do so I have some more of those silver "Merry Christmas" stickers so I will make up a few more cards to send out.

Snowflake Ornaments

Can you imagine that Christmas is just around the corner? This is sure going to be different for me this year. Living in NY most of my life I am used to lots of snow! Snowflakes all over the place. So since there is no snow in Las Vegas then I decided to make some snowflake ornaments!

These were fun to do! I wanted different colors of snowflakes that were nontraditional so I got out my supplies and experimented and was very happy with my results. Of course I had to leave one that looked more like a real snowflake! LOL!
The images that I used are all from Altered Pages.
