Snow Fun with Doodlecharms Snowman

I had a wonderful long weekend at the lake with my scrapping girlfriends scrapping, laughing, eating (!) and catching up. The productive MOJO was flowing and we all accomplished a great deal. I will share more with you later in the week, but I will begin with today's Bitten By The Bug 2 project.

The assigned challenge cut for the week is the snowman from Doodlecharms. We had to use the snowman to create any project we wanted. I made this cute snow card.

I used my gypsy so that I could include the pre-welded Snow with snowflakes title from Gypsy Wanderings. I embellished with additional snowflakes from Gypsy Wanderings and Jolee's. And of course the tag background was also from GW.

The bottom border was created using a Martha Stewart punch and the strip was topped with a Let it Snow! ribbon.

I dressed my snowman in clothing from Everyday Paper Dolls and finished him off with black pearl accents. And of course the final touch was an assortment of doodles and dots.

I will be back tomorrow with the Gypsy Spot challenge and later in the week I will share some of my weekend projects.

Cupcake Anyone....?

Did you visit the premiere of the Gypsy Spot blog this week? On Monday the Gypsy Spot kicked off a new design team and projects created exclusively with the Gypsy. Just follow the blinkie on the left of my blog to see the FABULOUS projects.

Nilda instructed us to do a simple Gypsy project and I complied…. The other team member created amazing projects and might want to reevaluate what the word simple means – LOL. I am just kidding… their work is great!!!

I used the wonderful Cupcake cut from Gypsy Wanderings. I made this card before the copy, flip and weld feature had been repaired. I assembled the cupcake first, and then affixed the cupcake to the front of a brown A2 premade card. I used scissors and hand trimmed around the edge of the cupcake to create a shaped card.

Now that Provo Craft has upgraded the Gypsy software the copy, flip and weld feature is working perfectly. You know what that means for all of us Gypsy users? No more hand trimming!!!!!
