My desk is a mess...part of the goal setting for the week. I keep lists but it seems I keep getting side tracked and things keep piling up on the desk. On the right you can see a canvas I have created for a class at WLS next month. Here is a closer look at it!
This is made with Graphic 45 papers and a 12x12in canvas. I glued a piece of holly paper to the canvas then cut out the Santa and other paper bits from Graphic 45 paper. The Holly under the bow is using the Tim Holtz die and Stampin Up! card stock. I love glitter so I used Stickles to brighten it all up!
The tag towards the back in the middle is for another class in December and I am thinking about using it in a swap I signed up for.
I had started a second tag for that swap but I love the blue green color of evergreen bough in the Seasonal Distress inks from Ranger. The second tag has a red ornament but it just doesn't spark my follow through today. I love this Tim Holtz snowman die called Winter Wonder Bigz die from Sizzix paired with the Snow Flurries edge die! I used glitter on this piece too cause it seemed not as snowy without it! I am entering it in the Simon Says Stamp and Show...some tickets challenge this week!
I completed a candy tin also this week for gift giving and another class.
I used Little Yellow Bicycle papers and the Tim Holtz/Sizzix die called Tattered Pine Cone to make the flower and the pine cones! It took a little work to get the hang of making pine cones and after watching the video by the man himself I realized I could make the roses and the pine cones for this project.
A little different view of the flower and pine cones on the band that holds the box together!
Okay that's it for my book writing today. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Drop by Julias Stamping Ground and check out WOYWW and do like I am doing grabbing a cup and snooping through the other blogs. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Absolutely love your canvas thetag and altered tin cute too.Nearly everyone seems to be having trouble with making the pine cone up looks easier than it is .I surpose once youve done a few becomes old hat!Happy Thanksgiving

Hia. That canvas is stunning. Love it. As for your snowman tag - he hasn't got an eye bless him. How is he supposed to see when he is to don his cap? I have the other Sizzix snowman but they are both cute! That tin is a stunner and I have that die. Will have to try the cone out. So far I have only been making the leaves.
ReplyDeleteamazing work going on there...love all of you projects

That tag is lovely - and I'm assuming the gift with the pine cones on it is actually a box of crackers? I like the canvas too - very vintage!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by this week.... Morti #22
That canvas is stunning! What a beautiful job you've done on it!!! You've been busy while hubby is away, my goodness! Great colours on your tag and I may have to have a look at that Santa die, he is fantastic! Pretty colours on the tin as well, what are you up to next? I've seen a little bit of everything here and it's all wonderful. Have a great week and don't work too hard! Thanks for the peek!

Wow you have been busy, Vickie! I particularly like your box - gorgeous pine cones! Thanks for your nice comment on my blog. Sorry to hear you've had a stomach lurgy, but I think I'd rather have a throad lurgy than a stomach one, awful though it is proving to be. Each day I'm hoping for better things. Despite my thoughts initially today, I haven't managed to get to my ARTHaven today, but am on the settee keeping warm. Happy WOYWW, Shoshi #70
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Christmas canvas! It makes me nostalgic! I make lists too, that makes two of us! Patsy from
