Pocket Watch

 For Through the Craft Room Door Design Team

I used one of my collage masterborads to use as a surface.

Then I stenciled some Nuvo embellishment mousse.

I then started coloring the digital Pocket Watch from Dr. Digi.

I glued the pocket watch on then added gold glitter glue and some glossy accents for the middle of the pocket watch. 

I added some flower and butterflies to look like they are flying out of the pocket watch.

I think this piece symbolizes the happiness and busyness I have had the last few months. Also, I feel like my happiness is on the clock at the moment with the stuff I hope to someday be able to share with others.

Old Fashioned Sleigh Ride Card

Old Fashioned Sleigh Ride Card

I made this for the design team I am on TTCRD

I took some Christmas scrapbooking paper. I cut each 10in by 4 in. Then kept the scraps. I scored each to make the cards 5in by 4 in.  

I printed the Sleigh Ride digital from Jan's Digi Stamps. I then cut them up. 

I took my scraps and cut them 4 in by 2 in. I used my corner cutter around all the corners. Then glued it onto the bottom of each card randomly.

I glued the sleigh ride onto each scrap.

I cut up some gauze and placed on the top of the card. I glued the phrase "Old Fashion Sleigh Ride" onto the gauze with hot glue.

Inside each card I glued food colored dye into the each card.

Christmas Blooms Window Shutter

 I have had an old window shutter laying around for a while to use for a project. I decided for my TTCRD design team project this week. I used the digital from Beccy's Place called Christmas Blooms Digital Stamps. I first painted the shutter black. Then colored and modpodged the digital onto the shutter.  I hot glued doilies and added some glitter accents. This project was time consuming based on dry time. Otherwise the project was quite simple and easy. Makes a perfect Christmas gift.
