'Tis The Season Blog Hop

Welcome to the " 'Tis The Season Blog Hop".  If you came here from my friend Heather's blog http://princesspaperprojects.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right place.  If you just happened to stop by my blog and would like to follow the blog hop then go to the start at Iva's blog http://ivarai.com/ .

My project is tile coasters.  I went to Home Depot and bought a box of 4 x 4" tumbled marble tiles.  I stamped on them using Staz-On ink.  You do not need to do anything to these tiles to seal them. 

On the tiles below I coloured them with Sharpie permanent markers.  These tiles I did put in the oven at 200 F, for an hour.  They probably don't need to be in there that long but I had them in there while I was doing other things.

After I had made these my husband the handyman decided that they needed a holder.  So he made me these to go with each set of 4 coasters.

I wrapped a ribbon around them tied a bow and added a tag cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

 My giveaway for this blog hop is these two adorable Peachy Keen Mini stamps.  To be eligible to win you just have to follow my blog and leave a comment.  I will be using ramdom.org to pick a winner on Monday morning. 

The next stop on this blog hop is Ellen at http://lifeatwalnuthill.blogspot.com/ .

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Ornaments

I watched a video last Christmas at Obsessed With Scrapbooking http://www.youtube.com/user/Obsessedwithscrappin#p/u/33/lTvq2GPkm9U  and I knew I wanted to make some of these myself.  So as soon as the Christmas things came out at Michael's I bought 3 packages of the clear glass ornaments.  I finally got around to making them yesterday and they were so easy and turned out beautiful.  All you have to do is pour Pledge floor polish in the ornament, swirl it around to make sure it is all covered.  Pour out the excess polish, pour in the glitter (I used Martha Stewart, I love all the colours) and cover the hole and shake it to cover completely, pour out any excess.
I then cut out the names from white vinyl using Winter Woodlands for the font and snowflakes.

Throwback Thursday Christmas Theme

This weeks challenge over at Emma's blog http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is to make a Christmas themed project using the Celebrations cartridge. I don't have that cartridge so I used Joys of the Season for the Santa hat, which is cut at 3 1/2". I used liquid applique to look like fur on the hat. I love the was it works, you just apply it and heat it with you heat gun and it puffs up.

**I have been receiving some comments about the Liquid Applique. I bought it from http://www.customcrops.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=liquid+applique&submit.x=22&submit.y=15 . They have it in 12 colours.*****

Supplies:

Paper: Crumb Cake, Real Red, Whisper White (SU), Holiday Collection-The Christmas Stack (DCWV)

Ink: White Uni-ball pen (Signo)

Embellishments: Buttons, Gems (Recollections), Liquid Applique (Marvy)
