OK, here is my project
I created a Two-Page LO using
For my LO I used AC Jolly Collection paper, Recollections and Core'dinations cardstock.
(the LO sketch is my take from a LO my BFF made at a class using Bo Bunny paper).
For the white to give it the snow effect I used Puffy paint and added glitter before heating.
For the Door I used Sizzix/Tim Holtz woodgrain embossing folder to give it that cabin/woodsy look.
For the gum drops I run them through my Xyron and cover with glitter.
And for the Candy Cane, first I run the white candy cane through the Xyron and adhere the red layers, than I pour glitter to the exposed white areas.
I inked everything with distress ink in walnut and tea dye, and added a gold dew drop as a door knob.
And I just need to share that the Photo Gods were against me last night or this morning (maybe is just a lesson to learn and not wait 'till the last minute, lol), neither my HP photo printer nor my "I do it all" Lexmark would print correctly~ here is a picture to show you
I had the perfect pictures for my LO!
anyway, I will go to Costo's 1 hr. in the morning and
will share LO with pictures later in the day or
tomorrow~
