Good Morning!! WOW! What a weekend. It was a whirlwind for us, but I'm back into the swing of things bright and early this morning. Today I'm sharing the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #12. I have to be honest, and admit that I did fall short on this challenge, because one of the requirements was for it to have something gold. Well, I intended for that to be gold cord for the hanger, but my gold cord is packed away, and all I had access to was my silver cord. Oh well... the best laid plans!
For this little creation, I used my big Sizzix die Snowflakes #2, and cut the snowflake out of heavy white cardboard. The adorable Curly's face is from the PK-481 stamp set, and includes some of the cutest little faces I've ever seen. I colored Curly up with my SU inks and an aquapainter, then once that was finished and dry, I coated the entire ornament with Crystal Effects and sprinked it with clear, chunky glitter. This was such an easy project, but I have to admit that it took me forever to decide what to do. I looked at so many handmade ornaments, and I am so picky about what goes on my Christmas tree. I was determined that whatever I came up with would be something that I would actually use, and this little cutie fits that bill perfectly. I have all kinds of ideas spinning around now with what I could do with him. Wouldn't he make a cute package topper? I love to wrap presents, and this little guy would look so cute peeking out from under a sparkly handmade bow! Oh, the possibilities are endless!! Now, that's a great challenge when you can get excited about all the possible uses for a project you've just completed. Please hop on over to the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog, and play along with this challenge. I could definitely use some more ideas for ornaments, and I'd love to see what you have up your creative sleeve!

Ha Ha!! Lorie!!! I don't beleive it!! I almost did exactly the same as you! That would've been hysterical. Ha Ha! Glad I found another project as I'm sure mine wouldn't have been a patch on this one. I too was stumped for ideas. There aren't many out there.
I ADORE your snowflake and seeing it all made up, I will definately be using my CB die and creating some now. You ARE a total inspiration.
Big hugs
