Rockin my Christmas Sweater

December is here! Can you believe 2016 is almost over? Since it's the first Monday of the month, it's time for a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The challenge is sponsored by

Sami Stamps

and

Lacy Sunshine

The challenge is "Tic Tac Toe". Here is the board.

I used an image from Sami Stamps and used the diagonal line of "Candy Cane/Use the word Christmas in your Sentiment/Christmas Ornaments". I created 2 side step cards.

Foil-Heidi Swapp M inc Silver foil

Buttons-Dress It Up Christmas Eve (candy cane), Christmas Ornaments (ornament)

This was the first time I used the foil. I used a laser printer to print the sentiment on the card stock and then ran the card stock and foil through my laminater to create the foiled sentiments. I popped up the images and sentiments on home made foam squares. I added a smaller image on the inside.

Now it's your turn to create something for the challenge.

Candy Cane Box

Can you believe that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away?  Maybe I should start shopping!  I hope Santa got my list.  What does everyone one want this year?
Well it's that time of the week we all wait for.... Thursday.  And you know what that means.  It's time for the next Dare To Be Sassy Thursday Challenge (#207 It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas (make a Christmas project)) at Sassy Studio Designs.  I decided to make something other than a card this time.

I made a Box

with the lid off

Here's what I started with.

cake mix box and the side of a brownie mix box (lid) 

I covered the box  and lid with opaque white paper

I used toilet paper tubes for the rings 

I sliced them and wound them tighter to fit the candy cane stick

I used rubber cement to apply the white paper to the box and lid.  And to apply the green card stock and DP to the rings.  The rings are glued to the box with E-6000. (great stuff)  I popped up the image on homemade pink foam squares.  

It was fun making this project. It's always fun to make something other than a card every once in a while.  I also made this.

Now I guess it's time to get shopping.  Where did I put everyone's lists?  Oh well, I guess everyone gets underwear and socks. hahaha
