Quality - The Word for 2016
Happy 2016! I am not one for making New Year's resolutions, but I do
like the challenge of picking an inspiring word for the year and working
towards goals associated with it. For this year, I chose the word quality. I
want to strive for quality in all that I do...the time I spend with my
family, the foods that I eat, the art that I make. If something is
worth doing it is worth doing right! I created this tag as a reminder
throughout the year, not just for the first few days of January. While I
was working on this, it gave me time to reflect on what I can do to
make 2016 a great year.

Last Challenge of 2015!
It seems like every year, I like to end it with trying to sneak in just one more craft project...just one more challenge. And this year is no different. I decided to play along with Prima's December PPP Challenge. The products this month reminded me of vintage graphics from the 60's, so I thought I would try a mixed media snowman canvas.
I shaped the snowman using Styrofoam eggs, but then covered them with the Finnabair Snowflake paste. The canvas was painted with the Prima Heavy Gesso, and colored with the IOD oil pastels and Prima Watercolor pencils. The stamps are all from a Finnabair set, and I decontructed some Prima flowers for the snowman's arms and the little snowballs. I used a water distressing technique to for the paper scarf.

Ringing in the New Year with Crafter's Companion
Hi! I've been busy creating lots of samples using my Crafter's Companions goodies for the upcoming CHA show, and have been a little neglectful in sharing the inspiration with you! So, tonight, on the eve of NYE, I have a card to help ring in the New Year. This Scruffy Little Cat stamp is so sparkly in person, thanks to the Sparkle Spectrum Noir pens. I layered them over the Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and it's a great match up.
Be sure to watch next month as I will be sharing all of the projects that are on their way to CHA!

May Arts/ Ribbon Resource Gift Wrap Blog Hop
Are you busy wrapping presents? Then this is the hop for you, if you would like to see a little bit of inspiration to tie those presents up with gorgeous ribbons! Be sure to leave some love along the way, because the ribbon lady will be giving away 2 5-yard rolls of Christmas ribbon, to a lucky commenter.
I love elegantly wrapped packages, so I chose to accentuate this flocked velvet foil paper with a woven pattern of textured ribbons. If you try this yourself, just pick coordinating ribbons with different textures and widths, to make the plaid weave look it's best.

Victorian Christmas Card
So Prima has had a wonderful 12 Days of Christmas Challenge going on - each challenge focuses on one of their lines. I of course had grand plans of trying to play all 12 challenges....and it ends tonight and this is my second entry! Ha! But I've had fun seeing all of the entries and being inspired. So, I guess that's what it's really all about.
