JustRite....and a new hair cut!

I have been enjoying the cozy nights in my scrapbook room these last few weeks. There is something warm and inviting about going in my lil' room with my jammies on, a few snacks, and my favorite TV show on in the background. It is my time....my release.....a chance to escape from life's demands for a couple of hours. So I've been creating....... : )

Here is a lil' card I made using my new Sizzix snowflake die, JustRite stamps, and lots of glitter! I cut the snowflake out and loved the "negative" space it left, so I decided to use it for my card. I filled it in with lots of Diamond Dust. The other snowflake was covered with Diamond Dust also, but then sprayed with a soft blue Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels). When it was dry I inked the edges a bit to "age" it. I stamped the snowflake from the Merry Little Christmas set, on cream cardstock and cut it out using my Spellbinder's circles. The sentiment was stamped on Kraft cardstock and cut out also. I layered the circles and added a double bow behind it. The panel was pierced using my sewing machine with no thread, rather than hand piercing. (Much faster that way!)


I told you a few days ago that I was trying to decide what to do with Cort's hair......well the decision was made to go short! I really love it! It is so cute on her......or at least I think so! (I really need to learn to take her bib off before taking her picture!)

Tonight is my last Spanish class....... : )
Have a wonderful Thursday!

Hi Chelle,

Thank you for visiting my blog. I love your snowflake card! I may have to invest in that dye. I don't have spellbinders but maybe some day I will. I have never heard of Diamond dust. Another item I need to check out. lol I will get back into my scrapmood as soon as my room is cleaned out and I find my table again. lol
