NOW... let's get on to the hop!!!
Here is the complete line up:
If you're coming from Kristy's blog, then you're on the right track. If you just happened to stop by my blog today, be sure to head on back to Kristy's blog and hop from the beginning.
For my project I made an ornament for the tree. I used a Bugaboo digi image, colored with Prisma Color pencils, and made one of these fun star ornaments that have been popping up all around to attach it to. I spritzed it with a gold shimmer and kind of wish I hadn't or at least had taken a photo before since I'm not too thrilled with how it looks on my image. I don't think it's too noticeable in the picture, lesson learned there, lol.
The first place that I've seen this ornament made was my friend Ceci's blog. She has a link there if you'd like to know how it's made. I switched mine up a little for this project so it laid a little flatter so I could apply the image.
Secondly, I've made this adorable card using the "Reason for the Season" file from Scraptastical Kreations. I used the print feature on my cameo and made the shaped card by outlining the image, then used the offset tool to create the shape. I then mirrored the image and welded them together. Voila!
Now it's time for you to head on over to Cally Ann.
Thank you so much for hopping along with us today, and we all hope that you were filled with loads of Christmas joy, as well as loads of inspiration!
