Did you watch Dancing with the Stars tonight? We did ... too much crazy singing. I also worked on a couple projects I've had in mind. Both of them use sentiments from Whipper Snapper sets.
First, I made this tin snowflake ornament using a 'tin-tiques' snowflake, some crystal snowflakes, and some glittered branches made with a Martha Stewart punch. This was a quick and easy project to make. The longest part was waiting for the adhesive and glitter to dry! The sentiment is from my North Pole Post set, and has become one of my favorite sentiments for the season.
I also put together this small tin of toasted marshmallow Jelly Belly candies! I used a 'tin-tiques' country star, a glittered snowflake, and a button to dress up the container. This was also a really quick project, but I think that if I were to do it again, I wouldn't glitter the tin star. I like the sparkle, but I prefer the look of the tin without the extra glitz. The sentiment on this project is from Winter Schminter, one of the November Whipper Snapper sets.
I'm so tired ... I'm headed to bed.
Sweet dreams!
I love all your stuff, but what exactly is 'chipboard'?

MY favorite saying is be warm inside out. About the only warm cozy feeling Ill have for the next 8 months is dropping by here and gawking at all your GREAT stuff.
I actually LOVE the snowflakes you made. You are just too clever AND you can cure ailing chickens. Amazing!!

Super cute! Love both ideas and I agree with you on the glitter.

These are both so stunning!!! I love them:) Usually, if I get a gift with an decoration on top, I re-gift it the next year but if I received a gift with these on top, Im sorry but I would not be re-gifting them. Id find someplace special to display them:) Cute Jelly Bellies - they look like little eggs :) TFS
