Christmas Confections - Christmas Related Sweets and Treats

Hello and thank you for stopping by, a new challenge begins today at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog with the theme being:  Christmas Confections - (Christmas Related Sweets and Treats).  Here is my inspiration for this challenge.

I thought roasting chestnuts, candy canes and cookies for Santa are certainly related to Christmas treats.  I'm using Rory Roasting Chestnuts, Rory's Bag of Candy Canes and Cookies for Santa was a gift to the members of the Lacy Sunshine Group on Face Book by Heather Valentin.  The other 2 images of Rory are from Lacy Sunshine's online store where you will find an amazing assortment of  characters and so much more all created and designed by Heather Valentin, artist and owner of the shop.

I hope you'll  come over and join in this challenge sharing your creations with us.  I enjoy visiting your blogs and gaining some of my inspiration along the way.


I have a die cut for the 3 panels for this card, colored with copics and colored pencils, added some Puffy Paint for the snow, a little flocking on Rory slippers, Glossy Accents here and there along with glitter, and Stickles.  The snoflake is from  Martha Stewart punch.

An Altered CD Case

Hello, thanks for stopping by I hope your day is going well.  This is my inspiration creation for the new challenge at Julia Spiri's challenge blog.  It starts today with the fun theme:  Alter Something.

I decided to use this digital image Picking Mushrooms from Julia Spiri's Etsy store, Julia has a wonderful selection of fun and adorable characters and she is coming out with new ones every couple of weeks.

I took an old CD case, emptied it, glued magnetic sheets to the inside, layered my image to embossed cs framing it with lace. I also put the lace on the inside to give it a more finished look.  I think I'll use it for those itty bitty dies and keep it close to my table.

I hope you'll come and join in the challenge sharing your creations with us.  I do enjoy visiting your blogs and gaining inspiration from you.

Julia also has a fun Facebook group where there is a challenge and sometimes a game where you may win one or more of her images or just to share your creations.
