Today's Blogger's Challenge is Christmas in July! I wanted to do something elegant today, so I pulled out this gorgeous image from The Stampsmith. I colored this lovely Christmas girl with chalks, and layered her over a piece of green Aged Metal (from the 2-08 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter). I wanted to add a piece of Pine Bough (can't you just smell it?) but the Eucalyptus looked better.I know that Innovative Stamp Creations still has some Shimmer Sheetz left (they were discontinued by the company), just in case (I know I will be asked!).
On another note, I have an exciting week planned for next week! Check in on Monday for the beginning of 35 days of fun!
I also leave for vacation tomorrow morning, and will not have a reliable Internet access...so be patient with me, okay?
Have a good week -- Hope you can get into the spirit of Christmas a little today!

ReplyDeleteCat gondek Says my gosh I wanna win these stamps. The Palm tree is just perfect and Ican imagine using it a lot of ways.
ReplyDeleteI found INCREDIBLE inspiration by peeking at the TJ pages since there are some AUGUST technique samples up already . ( oops, was that a secret?)
Can't wait to try the bandana.
Funny thing is I did work on Christmas cards today, was playing with cuttlebug smoosh and happened to make some snowflakes that inspired me.
