A SIMPLE WISH

Hey there.  Are you having really snowy and cold weather where you are?  Wow, we are definitely having winter here in Fort St. John, BC, Canada!  There is 3 feet of snow in our yard and the temperature yesterday registered at – 25 celcius!  Makes one want to just curl up in a warm and cozy stamp room, and that’s just what I have been doing!!

Here is one of the goodies that I created;

I followed along with a Sketch Challenge from the Stamping and Blogging Blog.  There are great sketches and ideas on that blog and I recommend that you check it out.

I did some heat embossing on that pretty ornament.  First I used Stampin’ Write markers to colour it and then added Clear Emboss powder as well as a tiny touch of Silver for the top.  I wanted to mat it so it would stand out on the background, so cute the ornament out with paper snips and used the Holiday Ornaments Framelits to cut out the mat.

I love the font of the various greetings in Wacky Wishes(Hostess Set, page 204 Idea Book) and added that great Christmas Greeting.
