Coaster Project, Featured Stamper and Blog Challenge

Earlier today Brian and Chloe went off shopping for Christmas presents. It was nice that they got to do that together today! Brian had been gone for a week and Chloe was really excited to spend the morning with him doing stuff with JUST Dad ;)

I had a chance to work on some challenges from today.

This first project wasn't a challenge though...LOL

Last week while shopping with my neighbour, Lisa, we found some of these cool glass coasters at a local dollar store. We HAD to buy them!
They measure 3.5 x 3.5. I cut down some of my chipboard coasters to that size then glued a piece of Dashing DP to each one. Then I stamped and punched out the snowman from Merry & Bright and layered him with cardstock. I also cut a piece of cardstock to run along the bottom and stamped it as well. I couldn't figure out a good way to attach the glass to the paper though. I used Crystal Effects and it is holding really good BUT you can see it in the corners. Anyone have a better idea? Please share it with me....I have another 8 coasters after these 4 and I'd love to do them up and give them as gifts!

This next card is for todays Featured Stamper on SCS. It's ROSE ANN! YAH! I was so excited to see it was her today....couldn't decide which card to CASE of hers. There are soooooooo many fabulous creations in her gallery! I ended up casing THIS card of hers. I changed the papers and the stamp set but kept the same layout and idea! Thanks so much Rose Ann!

A little while ago, Lori from Inking Aloud sent me some wonderful stamped images in the mail! I so love these shopping ladies....it's so me! I wanted to colour some in today and use up some paper that Brian had bought me from Cosmo Cricket.

I really enjoy doing the Just Because We Wanna Challenge each Sunday that Jeanne or Sherry put out as well. It has been a couple of weeks since I was able to do one. This weeks challenge was to do a FISHY card. I needed a boys bday card and I thought this would be perfect!

I am having computer problems today and my laptop keeps shutting off on me. I am on my husbands MAC right now so I don't have time to fill in all the details. If there is something you need to know...just ask me ;)
Have a super night!
