Hi there! I hope your Thanksgiving was a wonderful one. Tonight the gals from the Center Stage Alumni Team are gathering to share creations inspired by the following photo:
You should have arrived here from Lori's blog, if not you can go back to the beginning at StampTV and start from there. You wouldn't want to miss a thing!
The first thing that caught my eye when I saw this photo was the snowflake cookie. Of course it would be the snowflake.....you all knew that. :) After the snowflake it was the sweets and the thought of giving some sweet treats as a gift.
I had recently found some cute little snowflake buckets in the dollar bin at Target and I knew one would be perfect for this challenge. I will apologize now for the poor quality of the pics, we have had little to no sunshine here. Just lots of that white stuff that falls from the sky.
I used stamps from the Winter Mittens and Winter Wonderland sets from Gina K. Designs. These sets work so well together. I put some hot cocoa mix, a peppermint stick and some chocolates in the bucket. Yum-O! I created the snowflake ornament from the Spellbinders Pendent die, some rhinestones and a few beads. Easy peasy!
Well, I am going to send you on your way now.........Melissa has something special to share with you too!
Hugs,
This is so original. I love it! AND I'm getting this unexplainable craving for chocolate.....hmmmm.
