X-Mas gifts made with shrinky dink

-
I received a greeting card from one of my sisters, I think any how it had three little angels  so I decided to make it but made a few changes - these became my three little angels - starting with Nicole - Michael - George!! they were little when I made this one. 
Some years back I found out about shrinky dinks papers - well had to try them and since I love precious moments I got a couple of coloring books - had lots of color pencils.

I decided to make some Christmas ornaments that also served as greeting cards.  So I picked designs that would go with the person that was going to get these.  I gave them out and everyone loved them.  The ones you see here are the one's I made for my kids and some I made just cause I liked the image.

for the favorite teacher added some tiny glass beads to the bottom

I drew this from the cover of the movie when i got it for my daughter - this hangs on my wall @ work

I just loved this one - so I had to make it (still have it)

I made this for my son Michael when he was little he loved carrying flash lights and  felt this was perfect


this little girl looked so much like my baby girl - I gave her long hair and gave to my baby

never had the chance to give this one away but it's just so cute!

this I made for my eldest son George! he loved music since little and felt he would grow up to be a musician and he is one!!

my baby girl made this one in a class I gave @ her school her and the rest of the girls were amazed at how this paper works when it's placed in the oven
All I did was place the image behind the shrinky dink paper and used my color pencils to color the entire image - I added shadows to make the image more interesting.  Hope you enjoy these pictures.  I have not used this material for a while, I know there's a lot you can do with it - I just don't have enough time in the day to craft as much as I want.  I'm always working on something different - for sure i will be making something new soon.   for now, this is what I wanted to share - I didn't take pictures of all the ones I gave away!

Handmade Holiday Ornament Swap with Charity Wings

-

I joined a handmade holiday ornament swap! we are supposed to make two ornaments - one to swap and one to donate to the Charity Wings auction tree. Once we signed up for this swap we were assigned a partner, my partner asked I sent her both ornaments since she volunteers at Charity Wings.  I made three ornaments, one was glass, so just in case something went wrong there will still be two ornaments left, one for my partner and one for Charity Wings. All the ornaments sent to Charity Wings will  decorate a tree to be displayed in the Art Center for a week or two, afterwards in early December they will auction off the whole tree to raise funds for all their worthy causes! Here are the ornaments I made:   a glass ornament covered with polymer clay in different colors and added some glitter by using Viva Decor glitter liners  This ornament is made of  SCULPEY® ULTRALIGHT™ , added a template to the clay by using  TRANSLUCENT LIQUID   SCULPEY .   I used several Viva

Thanks to a post a friend shared on Face Book, I took a string of lights that sparked on me when I was trying to use them outside, so I took off all the bulbs and the spare ones too and decided to turn them into ornaments, I thought about making jewelry too but the ornament idea won.  All I did was paint them over using Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver, to most of the bulbs. As you can see on the photos below, l used Viva Decor's precious metal paints in gold and silver to paint the most of the orange light bulbs, to some I just added some glitter by using Viva's glitter liner pens in copper, gold and fuchsia colors.  I did use some distress glitter in red and green from Ranger.    Once dried, I added wire hangers to all the light bulbs, added some gold snowflake wired garland to the neck of the bulbs and I did go over all the bulbs with more glitter and paints to add designs and patterns adding interest and dimension.

If you didn't start from the beginning, please go back to Terri's blog,  http://terrisproul.blogspot.com  if not, please go back. You should have hopped here from Chris Hurley's blog at   http://www.stinkydogdesigns.blogspot.com/  and in case you get lost along the way there is a complete list to the right of everyone taking part of this hop. Now here is my card for today, I decided to go for a simple look. - I got some products in the mail not long ago and decided to use them on this card - the green paper you see is actually a wall paper product it has a marbled look already in gold and I decided to use my Viva Decor gold glitter pen in some areas to really bring out the gold.    The round circle on top was part of the shipment ,  I didn't make it, but it seems white paint  was added to a circle cut from heavy card stock (maybe) and a pretty star was stamped while wet - again I can only assume how it was made - but I liked it and thought it would make a nice
