Medallion Ornament

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

How are you today? Did you celebrate the new year in a big way? Me, not so much - but that's OK.:) It's been a nice day, just quietly going through stuff, trying to get more organized before the year runs away with me again. :D

I keep thinking that I've already told you about this, but I can't see it in my post list. SO. :) It was going to be one of the projects at GIFTS FROM THE HEART, but no one wanted to come play with me!

The medallion is made with the rosette die; that's the gold metallic sheet behind the Whisper White oval. It was simple and easy to make; I did hot glue the rosette part to the oval, just because it's so difficult for me to hold it down and work at the same time. :D But it worked SO beautifully! You could put this on top of a plate of cookies with a ribbon, and it would double as an ornament for their tree.

OK, I'm outta here! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HOSTING A PARTY DURING SALE-A-BRATION, I AM GOING TO GIVE A SPECIAL HOSTESS GIFT TO THE FIRST SIX PEOPLE WHO BOOK AND HOLD! It will be worth at LEAST $25!!!!!!!!!! Contact me NOW! :D

Project #3: Thanks a Ton!

Happy FRIDAY! Have big plans? Going to just veg? :D

This is the third and final project from Saturday's party. And although all three projects used heat embossing and the Big Shot, this one was the winner - at least with the Big Shot use. :D

OK, so those are the new oval framelits in the Spring catalog. Not only are these two on the front, there's one bigger inside with the sentiment on it.

We used the new Pool Party embossing powder on the whale, the greeting, and the sentiment.

We used the new clouds embossing folder for the background of the whale - that's from Oh, Whale!, and so are the waves. (Don't you just LOVE how straight my waves are?!? :D )

The googlie eye is from the last book; I really hope they bring them back. They're just plain ol' FUN. :D

The colors are Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White. We also used the Bitty Banners Framelits, Stampin' Pastels, and Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. See? Lots of Big Shot fun! :D

(Did they retire my Pastels?!?!? Oh, BOTHER - I love those things. )

OK, I'm outta here. :D Enjoy your weekend, whatever you do. But be sure to take the time to stamp SOMEthing!! :)
