I have a happy snowmanHis name is Frosty FredHe decorates my gardenWhile I stay warm in bed Is anyone else starting to get silly, or is it just me? It's still only early December and I must admit I'm not looking forward to a long winter despite writing my happy snowman poem. Or maybe I am, as it means I'll have an excuse to stay in and craft. Once again today's winter project uses a combination of retiring and carryover products. SNOW PANEL I started by making the large snow ... VIEW POST
Frosted Frames With Added Sparkle
Once again another month has flown by and I'm seriously behind in my craft fair preparations. My first event is in less than four weeks and I have a huge amount of things I want to get done before then. Christmas cards are high on that list, and today I created this one with the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set and coordinating Frosted Frames Dies.

Glossy Berries With Crystal Effects
A few days ago I decided to play with my new bottle of Crystal Effects from Stampin' Up! I wanted to see how different it was compared to using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen in adding shine to an image.

Today's project is actually the second one I made today using the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set. The first project is almost finished, but I used the new Shimmery Crystal Effects forgetting that it needs time to dry. I can't finish it until I can be sure I won't wreck what I've done so far. So there was no choice other than to start again and make something else. Mind you as the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set was right in front of me it made sense to use it. Of course that didn't mean I had to ... VIEW POST
Frosted Foliage Sneak Peek
After yesterday's marathon blog post, today's will be much shorter. I've still got a sneak peek from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue though, using the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set. WINTER BACKGROUND I began with another piece from the Feels Like Frost 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. I love this paper pack and you shouldn't be surprised it's making another appearance. I took one 6" x 6" sheet and cut 2" off the right hand edge and set it aside. Then I cut a ... VIEW POST
