Technique Tuesday - Star Ornament

Hi everyone!

Our sweet Amanda has been away due to an accident.  I am happy to say that she is doing better and better but needs some time to rest and heal.  So I am here this week with a tutorial for you.

We spent most of the weekend decorating for Christmas.  So I thought I would show you this fun ornament that you can make.  

I apologize for it being a little long.  I thought I could fast forward through some spots, but I haven't quite mastered that in my video tutorial skills.

Enjoy our tutorial, and leave us a comment.  We love to hear from you.

Now that Thanksgiving is over it is time to get in the full swing of preparations for Christmas.

TTT Challenge Winners - Show us what you got!

Happy Thanksgiving friends!

Many of our friends are enjoying time with family while we count our blessings today.  And I truly have so much to be thankful for.  As I prepare this post I feel so thankful to get to share my art with so many wonderful crafters.  Thanks for the many, many, many beautiful entries.  It was so very hard to choose only 3 winners along with our random winner this week.

Things are a little crazy this morning with preparations for our Thanksgiving feast.  So I won't delay any longer in announcing our winners.

The Gold Medal Award winner is Tammy Louise from Handmade by TLC.  Tammy your project is just stunning and we loved the orange colors used on this cute card.
This week's Silver Medal Award winner is Lorianna from Lorianna's Corner.  Lorianna we loved the coloring of your image and the nice warm colors you chose.  The layout of your card is so wonderful as well.
Our Bronze Medal Award goes to Linda from Lovely Linda's Craft Central.  Linda you always add so much detail and loving extra touches to your projects.  So pretty!
And the Top Hat Award (first name out of the hat using random.org) is Christine from Crafting Serenity.  Christine, what a lovely card and a perfect sentiment.


Our Gold Medal and Top Hat winners both receive an image of their choice (up to $3 value) from www.shellysimages.com.  Just email Shelly at shelly@shellysimages.com to let her know which image you would like.  And our Silver and Bronze Medal winners both receive a "Buy One Get One Free" voucher to our store (buy one image and get a second image of equal or lesser value free).  Just add the words "silver" or "bronze" and your free image choice to the comment section when placing your order.   All medal winners this week can find the medal badge to display at their blog *here*.  We hope that all of our winners this week will proudly display their winning badge.

Tuesday Tutorial - Partial Front Card

Today we have our first ever video tutorial for you.  It is FAR from perfect, but I think I did fairly well considering it is my first video.  Please excuse a couple of the blunders.

Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of the tutorial.  And as I mentioned in the video, please let me know if you would like a tutorial for the coloring I did on the Rooster.  I would be happy to do a tutorial if it would be helpful to you.

Please enjoy!
