Jingle Bells...

Hi there! It's Monday and that means back to work for me, but not the rest of my family...the kids are off school (for the first day of hunting season...believe it or not!) and dh is working from home today.

So, are you ready for a fun challenge? I'm the hostess at The Shabby Tea Room this week and I am challenging you to "Get Into Shape" - by using anything but a square or rectangle that is! Yep, NO SQUARES OR RECTANGLES! Our fabulous sponsor is JustRite Stampers this week and you will definitely want to play along for a great prize!

For my project this week, I chose to make an ornament shaped tag using the Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornaments dies. I started by cutting the largest size in a burgandy cardstock and topped it with a BoBunny script paper in the next smallest size. The edges are inked with Memento Rich Cocoa. I colored my JustRite image from the Sparky and Friends Cling set with Copics and cut it out, mounted it on green cardstock, cut it out again and popped it up on pop dots. There is so much dimension on my image...I used Diamond Stickles for the cuff and hat pom-poms and I used dimensional snow paint on the trees and foreground. I love that stuff!

Peeking out from behind is a big snowflake using the Our Daily Bread Designs snowflake die set and a felt snowflake on top. The sentiment is from the same JustRite set as the image and is stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa on a piece of white cut from the smaller ODBD snowflake die and backed with a piece of aqua cut with the same die. A sweet little bow and a tiny button make this little ornament shape ready to use as a tag, attached to the front of a card base or as an ornament by adding a hanger.
