Snowflake-Gift Tag

Hi Everyone,

It's Thursday!  woo hoo!  :)  This past month has been crazy for me.  Soooo, Need-less to say, I am happy the week end is a day away.  :)  Going to spend some time with my wonderful Husband.  Maybe take in a movie or two.  

Today's project is a snowflake cut out of chipboard with a snowflake sizzix die.  

This was a make n take that I demo'ed at my favorite LSS,  SCRAP-A-DOODLE DOO IN Ramsey, NJ.  We did this at the Customer Appreciation Night Dessert Party This last Friday night.  The "Doo" sure knows how to throw a nice get-to-gether for their customers!  

We used Studio Calico's Mister Huey's to brush onto the chipboard.  (you could spray it on, but with wanting to stretch the supplies it used less if we brushed it on with a foam brush)  When you were done brushing your choice of color (green or turquoise) We sprayed the shine on top to give it more glimmer.  

After we finished coloring our snowflake we used "True Snow" from Arleenes to go on the tips of the flake. (It goes on like Cool Whip but hold the form your leave it.)While that is drying a bit we are going to stamp our image.  I used Tim Holtz Holiday Collection Distress Inks to stamp my images from Ali Edwards Technique Tuesday Stamp.  Cut it out with Stampin' Up Circle Punches (image and a mat).  Glued everything together and once completely dry you may tie your ribbon on.

"Believe" Photo Display Frame

Hi Everyone!  

I know I have been MIA for a bit.  It has been so busy around the Zuniga House hold lately.  With being away for vacation, the Thanksgiving Holiday, and then a wonderful week with my mother visiting from Tennessee.   I am a little sad that I had to take her to the airport this morning for her flight home.  

One of the highlights of my moms visit was that she was able to take one of my classes at Scrap-a-Doodle Doo.  We had our Jingle Jam day at the "DOO" this past Saturday.  My friend Sherri Caramico and I taught an all day class of 2 mega projects. She taught a beautiful project that is a Lighted Mason Jar and I taught a fun, oh-so-cute Printers tray (also known as:  Photo Display Frame).  

As I was putting this together one frame at a time.  Everything kept falling into place one square at a time.  I love the little vintage ornament and the vintage light bulb.  The frame is designed by Kaiser Crafts and it comes in a natural naked wood.  I used Coffee Shop Glimmer mist to paint it on the wood to give it the rich brown.  After the glimmer mist dried, I added Rock Candy Distressed Crackle paint on top to give it a weathered look.  The papers are from Simple Stories and Kaiser Crafts.  I added in a paper doily, Glass Glitter, Kaiser Crafts green flowers, tinsel, ribbon, tea died tags, Wooden Houses, "Doo Dads", bells, and vintage ornaments.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  :)  

P.S.  Blog Candy winner to be announced tomorrow.  :)
