I Spy With My Little Eye.............. Something for Christmas (Challenge No. 21)

Hello everyone and welcome to a new I Spy With My Little Eye challenge taking place right here on my blog! Pauline and I are back with a new theme and we hope you'll come join in the fun!

Before I get to that, I wanted to let you know that we are taking a break over the holidays so there won't be a challenge in December. This challenge runs as usual and will end on Sunday December 15th, but the Top Picks won't be announced until the January challenge. 

I do want to invite you to join in this year's Papercrafters Year in Review hop (where we share our own favorites of the year) which will happen at the end of the year. You can read all the details here. 

This month it's Pauline's turn to host and she picked the theme of...............

I spy with my little eye....

Something For Christmas.

Perfect for this time of the year and we can't wait to see all your wonderful Christmas makes. Remember you may enter up to 5 creations following the theme.

And here is what we came up with:

The background was done using a Cuttlebug embossing folder I've had for ages. I used Rustic Wilderness ink to ink the "debossing" part of the folder before running it through the Big Shot machine. "Merry Christmas" die is by Penny Black -Ornamental Branch, I adhered the die cut onto a strip of red shimmer paper then added this to the embossed piece. The image is part of the Penny Black set Scarved Cuties, colored with Zig Clean Color markers and fussy cut. The extra present is part of the set. I embellished with some sequin ribbon and a little bow. Frosted Lace Stickles glitter was applied to the hat.
