Holiday Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Epiphany Crafts Design Team Holiday Ornament Blog Hop 2010!!

Our lovely Design Team has created some wonderful holiday projects, brimming with inspiration and of course, Epiphany Crafts epoxies, buttons, and tools! Visit each Design Team members blog to see what inspiring projects they have to share. Leave a comment on each blog. When you reach the last blog, you'll receive the final instructions on how to enter to win a fabulous prize pack filled with Epiphany Crafts goodies, straight from Santa!!

I started with an unfinished piece of wood from our local craft store. But you can use anything as your "backdrop"

We painted the entire thing light blue.

Once it dried, Kennedy covered her fingers in white paint and pressed them onto the wood.

Once that dried, we added snowmen faces, scarves and hats! We had a glittery chipboard star to add to the sky and topped it with an Epiphany Crafts circle embellishment!

Finally we attached some ribbon to hand our ornament from the tree!

SUPER EASY!!!!! I am always on the lookout for kid friendly crafts that aren't over-the-top or too difficult and this one fit the bill!

Leave a comment here on my blog for your chance to win some yummy My Little Shoebox goodies!!!!!

I do have one more MLS project to share! I totally forgot to post this layout from last month! MLS partnered with the fabulous sketch site Pencil Lines. This was my take on one of the sketches. You can see the post on their blog HERE.

Last month we also partnered with Tattered Angels! You can see one of their Bingo cards here. I used it as a photo mat and sprayed it with mist!!!



This photo will help you see the layering and depth of the flowers!! :)


I didn't have chipboard alphas in the pink color I wanted. So I just sprayed what I had with the pink Tattered Angels mist! I think it is such a cool effect!!! You can see it with the word "bun" in my title.

Just one more shot of the layered flowers (bottom one sprayed with the blue mist from Tattered Angels) along with the Bingo card I used as the photo mat.

And here is the final layout! I rarely scrap myself but I decided this baby needed it's first layout! ;)


Have a fabulous Father's Day!!
Be Blessed!!!

My Little Shoebox Farewell Blog Hop

The My Little Shoebox team is doing a blog hop today to say good bye to outgoing team members (I am one of them!) and celebrate the new team (YAY!!).

And I am the first stop on the Hop!!!!


The "old" team has created all kinds of fun projects to share today!
And it would not be a blog hop without prizes of course!!
So you need to check out all of our blogs & leave a comments on those that are giving away prizes! Mine included! I will be giving away a bunch of amazing MLS overlays and mini alphas to a random winner that posts a comment on my blog!!!
Fabulous!!
So make sure you follow along the blog hop and check out all the blogs!


So here are my last "official" My Little Shoebox projects...
{*sniff*}{*sniff*}


This month I worked with the Away We Go line. And first up is a tri-fold card!!!

*********************************************************** My second project is a mini album! I picked up these chipboard cars quite some time ago at Michael's for dirt cheap! And I thought they seemed perfect for this mini! I created it for my dear friend who is traveling to California as we speak! She isn't a scrapbooker but I wanted her to have a way to save her family's vacation memories. So I made a journal box for each day of the trip where they can write a list of what they did that day. The next page has journaling spot for each of the family members to record their favorites of that day! I hope they are enjoying it!!!

So comment away!! The next stop on the hop is Robyn's Blog!!!!!!
And do not forget to check out the My Little Shoebox blog and leave a comment there too!
Have fun!
Be Blessed!

Kennedy just had her 5th birthday! Her party was a cooking theme so the cute mini kit that came in The Sampler kit was perfect for the photos! There were only a few chipboard pages that came in the kit, but I needed more. So I traced them onto my own chipboard and made my own!
