Let It Snow Pop-Up - Lawn Fawn

Hi ya everyone!  I have wanted to join a Simon Says Challenge for awhile and I'm finally getting to it!!!  They have a fun one right now, Pop It Up.  I wanted to make this cute scalloped pop-up box from Lawn Fawn and this was the perfect opportunity to get started.  My sister over at Everyday Expressions gave this to me as a gift!  If you've never been to her blog, you really should.  She is so creative and has such an eye for gorgeous color combinations!  I also used the cute older stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Critters In the Arctic.

Did you know if you join this challenge you could win a $50 gift voucher?!  I would love that!  How generous of Simon Says!  You only have three days left to join, so better get creating! 

A Present For Santa - Meljen Challenge and Release

Hi ya Everyone!
  I'm so excited about this special release at Meljen's Design this week!  The images are so very cute and because I love all of them I couldn't pick just one of them - so, I chose all of them (ok, not the Santa's Sleigh, but I tried it was just a bit big for this project - but don't worry I'll use him on another!).  I can't wait for you te see what the DT did too - their projects are fantastic!  Ok, here's the release:

Now, I've been tossing the idea around of making an explosion box since seeing this tutorial:  "Explosion Box Class"  This release gave me the perfect opportunity. 

The best part is my girls loved it and we decided to turn it into a box for Santa's cookies. 

I colored all the images with my Copics, cut each one out and pasted it to a page in the box. 

I added stickles to a number of the pages too.  I love this and hopefully Santa will too.  Now, head over to Whimsy Stamps and pick up some of the new images and join in the challenge this week - Red, Green and Gold.  My gold is a bit hard to see in my pics but it's there!!  Then stop by Meljen's Design and submit your project for the red, green, gold challenge!! 

Enjoy!
