Marisol Walking in a Winter Wonderland - Christmas in July

Hi Everyone

Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink.  I cannot believe we are almost at the end of July, and so this is my last Christmas in July project that I have to share - of course it just had to be a doll tag!

The doll for this project is 'Marisol' (I think she is my favorite!)  I altered her clothes a little so that she would be suitably attired for walking in a Winter Wonderland.  I used Bo-Bunny again background and paper pieced clothes.  The snowflakes are from Impression Obsession dies.  I added some stickles and puffy paint for the snow and trim for her boots and hat.  The photos don't show it terribly will but in sparkles quite nicely.

I hope you have enjoyed all the projects this month - I wonder what next month will hold?  Until then.

A Warm Cup of Christmas - Christmas in July

Hi Everyone

Michelle from Lady of Leisure Ink, as always Terri thanks for having me.  For my third Christmas in July project I decided to play with a cup die from Memory Box.

I inked the edges of the cups, added some puffy paint for marshmallows and then added the swirls (dies from Impression Obsession) for the steam - can you just taste the cocoa?  The sentiment is a word die from Cheery Lynn.  The background paper is from Bo-Bunny.  Here are a couple of close-ups.

I also made a second project this week - a little gift bag (made with the We R Memory Keepers gift bag punch board.)  Although I cut the cup with my Silhouette Cameo, you could just as easily use the same Memory Box die for this.

I used that same Impression Obsession die for the steam.  Here is a look from the side so that you can see the dimension.

This would make a cute little gift for someone filled with a pack of cocoa and mini marshmallows don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by today.  See you next time.
