Snowman tic tac box ~ EtsyScrap Winter challenge

Hello there!  The EtsyScrap team has decided to start up a weekly blog where we will have a theme and we will create a project to share with you.

I threw together this little snowman tic tac box this morning.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  I used my gypsy to create a file for the box.  The cartridges I used are Paper Doll Dress Up and George and Basic Shapes.  Instead of using he tiny cut outs for eyes,nose, and mouth....I opted to use googley eyes and stickles for the nose and mouth.  I also added some stickles to the hat as well.


Here is the link to the free cut file if you would like to download it (if you like the file please leave me some happy thoughts in the comments below and please do not share the link.  Please send others to my blog to retrieve the link - MUCH APPRECIATED!) : TicTac Snowman

 

I am working on building up my etsy shop up again.  It is empty right now, but later today I plan on adding a few things to it.  Feel free to check it out later: Finkydink Creations

I finally have a post for you!

Here is a gypsy file I have been working on for someone.  I finished in with two different versions.  The first I did with George.  It is ok, but the track is a bit bumpy (still needs some work :) ).  The second version, I happpened upon a shape in Wild Card that worked perectly for a roller coaster, so I made this version with Wild Card.  I like this one better personally, but if you don't have Wild Card the fist version works ;)

Gypsy files - Please leave a comment if you like the file!  I LOVE comments!!!!! (click on the name to go to the download....please do not share the cut files.  Please send others to my blog to retrieve the files.  Thank you!):

Roller Coaster with Wild Card  (Plantin Schoolbook, George and Basic Shapes, Wild Card)


Here is a layout I made with the Wild Card file:

I really like how this layout looks in RL, but now that I have uploaded it and view it on the computer it really looks plain.  Oh well......sometimes some "white" space (in this case black space LOL) is a good thing!  I created paper to match the patterned paper or this layout.  I used a brayer and 3 shades of ink to create the paper used for the photo mats.

 

Sorry about the photo quality of the next photo.  I am not sure why this photo came out so bad.  I took it at the same time in the same place?  It must be the white journaling block.

 

 

Here is the layout I made with George:

Sorry I have not been very active :(

Hello all!  I am on vacation with my family this weekend at an in door waterpark in Wisconsin Dells.  I have been busy all week getting things packed and cleaning the house so I have not had much time for crafting.  I promise to have more for you next week!
