9. I just started a new job less than a week ago (FINALLY!) with the NICEST women ever, so I may try to motiviate myself to make something for them.
Whew! Talk about being busy! My favorite part is seeing the recipient's reaction. It makes it all worth it!
I've also been MIA from the Circle Blog, but I noticed this week's Challenge fit perfectly with the gift tags I have to make. The challenge is to use this sketch, created by the amazing Jana Eubank:
So here is my creation:
While I was at Archiver's a couple of months ago, and found this fun stuff called Flower Soft (http://www.flower-soft.co.uk/Cart/EC-Selected-Product.php?ProductID=43). I found a wreath on one of my Christmas cartridges (I'm not around my Gypsy right now to tell you which one, but any one will do) and cut it out. Then I ran it through my Xyron sticker machine, then pressed the Vintage Christmas Flower Soft onto the sticky side. It was really that easy! I added two red rhinestones on the right bottom side and tied red thread into a bow and glued those on. "Happy Hollydays" was cut with Don Juan, with a shadow and regular cut.
I really like the way it turned out! I think I'm a contender! We'll see!!
When I get time, I'll put up all the cards I've made this season when I find time, and also when the celebration passes, so they don't see their card on here before they receive them!
