Hello friends! Debbie with you today sharing a little mixed media album. This little album holds pocket sleeves for those cute little photos and journaling. It makes a perfect gift! to decorate this little album I used <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_43&products_id=755">Gina's Designs Butterfly Corner Top</a> and <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_43&products_id=754">Bottom</a>. I'll start off sharing the front and back covers.</div>

The steps I took to complete this album were simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Gesso the whole album inside and out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 Add Stenciling with modeling paste and your favorite stencil </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Use your heat gun to dry everything</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Spray with your favorite sprays, I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in 4 different colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Rub with DecoArt Metallic Rub</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Stamp and embellish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The final step I took was to add sequins. I dipped a paint brush into gel medium and then into my sequins and simply painted them on.</div>

Hello to all you crafters out there. I am excited to share a new altered canvas I created for some change in weather inspiration for you. Also with Thanksgiving this past week I know some people love to get those Christmas decorations out and get started on the season. </div>

So first I covered everything with gesso. Then I added some various sprays, paints, and inks to achieve the look I desired. </div>

For the deer I just covered the chipboard with gesso and after that dried a thin layer of Crackle Accents. After letting the Crackle Accents dry I went over the deer with some Distress Ink so it got into the cracks and then used a paper towel to wipe off the extra ink. The crackle will act as a resist!</div>

It's <b><a href="http://gloriascraps.blogspot.com/">Gloria Stengel</a></b> back again with another project. I made a card and two tags for you this week. (If you missed my Christmas composition box from last week, click <a href="http://ginasdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/christmas-composition-box-by-gloria.html"><b>HERE</b></a> to see it.)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My favorite type of Christmas decor is vintage with traditional colors and a bit of rust and whitewash tossed in for good measure! I like to use chipboard elements on cards and tags because it adds a lot of detail and interest without a lot of bulk or weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMrzJFZQAN3fGb1CrOHlXjaQZ9jlnKmRiG9YMyxbE-lWU8X6sOQtLQEgmh0SY6ktJ7EmBh5JyJCHHp8eeHjeODgVEZ-Hz9RqYlwBPNFcP_L0Ul-_yEi_MwXJNR0XEYv164uxfrI9KkqMfT/s1600/Gloria-Nov-27c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMrzJFZQAN3fGb1CrOHlXjaQZ9jlnKmRiG9YMyxbE-lWU8X6sOQtLQEgmh0SY6ktJ7EmBh5JyJCHHp8eeHjeODgVEZ-Hz9RqYlwBPNFcP_L0Ul-_yEi_MwXJNR0XEYv164uxfrI9KkqMfT/s640/Gloria-Nov-27c.jpg" width="552" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The card is 6" x 5" and made with dark brown cardstock. I used just a bit of designer paper because I wanted the chipboard elements and the sentiment to be the stars of the show. {Stars...get it?!} I covered the oval element from the <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_24&products_id=869">Stars and Flourishes Borders and Corners Set</a> with gold pigment ink and then embossed with Aged Bronze Embossing Enamel. I made sure to allow the enamel to look pitted and aged, with a few bits of the original chipboard showing through. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decorated the star oval with snowflakes from the </span><a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_28&products_id=109" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Winter Shape Set</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and the </span><a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=440" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Snowflake Shape Set</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. I sprayed the snowflakes with white shimmer mist, and then embossed them with sparkly white embossing powder. The buttons are tied with kraft twine and then glued to each snowflake.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I covered one of the keyholes from the <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_32&products_id=64">Keys and Plates Shape Set</a> with gold pigment ink. I added tiny gold brads to the keyhole. Each flower was dipped in gold ink before I glued them to the card.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I decorated the inside of the card with some leftover bits of paper and a stamped greeting.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmsfZ5cq6ZAwdBlgk8Bzbi8jBy_hg4z0NNrqneqOyIrFk1IBpG5TLVAyTtlvIVW6_Juz_9pTZlhimOj162edqHMHAS9WVUSW5PTdVMbi4lIty-YfGpzSLkiFcjdL25oc4kqBRMUwW8jKI/s1600/Gloria-Nov-27f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmsfZ5cq6ZAwdBlgk8Bzbi8jBy_hg4z0NNrqneqOyIrFk1IBpG5TLVAyTtlvIVW6_Juz_9pTZlhimOj162edqHMHAS9WVUSW5PTdVMbi4lIty-YfGpzSLkiFcjdL25oc4kqBRMUwW8jKI/s640/Gloria-Nov-27f.jpg" width="616" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I always need extra tags around the holidays, so I made two tags to match the card. </span><br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgofpr-s0m3FqcLBtuS19IUHeV0eazb-1vAzpPB538S4maT-YAt-z12y0frtClHuDFtPWKkoqIXiTq-ig1Tpk2z-FwOSMIGD9FEa8xgclTmymRnJkkHYlnnMDJTLbQTXv_BqOEDAQL21far/s1600/Gloria-Nov-27g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgofpr-s0m3FqcLBtuS19IUHeV0eazb-1vAzpPB538S4maT-YAt-z12y0frtClHuDFtPWKkoqIXiTq-ig1Tpk2z-FwOSMIGD9FEa8xgclTmymRnJkkHYlnnMDJTLbQTXv_BqOEDAQL21far/s640/Gloria-Nov-27g.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I added a bit of paper to the front of the tag before adding the chipboard elements. I sprayed the star flourishes from the </span><a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_24&products_id=869" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Stars and Flourishes Borders and Corners Set</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> with white mist and then dabbed them with watermark ink. I then embossed the flourishes with embossing enamel. I mixed white embossing enamel with gold embossing powder to make a custom enamel! I love how "clumpy" and thick the enamel is, but the areas with the gold embossing powder are thinner, sort of like rust. It makes the chipboard look amazingly vintage!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I sprayed the word from the <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_47&products_id=324">Words and Phrases 1 set</a> with <a href="http://shop.canvascorpbrands.com/products/fire-baseboard-2oz">Fire Baseboard Mistable Paint</a> and <a href="http://shop.canvascorpbrands.com/products/pearl-glimmer-mist-2oz">Pearl Glimmer Mist</a>.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">As my Guest Designer time comes to an end, I want to share
one of my favorite kinds of projects with you: altered tin ornaments. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm <a href="http://www.papercalliope.com/">Betsy Skagen of Paper Calliope</a>, and on this Thanksgiving
Eve my heart is filled with gratitude for getting to spend the last month here
at Gina's Designs. It has been a fun and delightful adventure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Usually I make my altered tin ornaments with Altoids
tins...but a gal can only eat so many mints. In fact, I must 'fess up to
possession of quart-sized Ziploc bags of uneaten mints. Hmmm...maybe I could
use them to make altered art igloos? Perhaps puree them to create faux snow? Or
maybe fashion ATCs featuring Victorian ladies with dandruff?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Surely it would be better to find alternative tin sources
that don't involve more mints. I recently found some<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on Amazon, but didn't realize until they
arrived that they are a square rather than rectangular. Thankfully, they still
work just fine for ornaments.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1: Remove the lid and hinge from the box. Save the lid
to make a second ornament.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNEVOjdduzjh5NUHiUfD56V6SwrECzIz-mM1hhIStoDZxR-EBExV11kemzR0ugViq3fyfrPj3rlbbTEhgASdPpdv51Zfey5lYaca-LGsLruGvcDyJg-J5VD1vjtSiVT9wYh15c-ZWX3Y/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNEVOjdduzjh5NUHiUfD56V6SwrECzIz-mM1hhIStoDZxR-EBExV11kemzR0ugViq3fyfrPj3rlbbTEhgASdPpdv51Zfey5lYaca-LGsLruGvcDyJg-J5VD1vjtSiVT9wYh15c-ZWX3Y/s320/8.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2: Trace the box base onto cardstock that features an
outside holiday scene with tree branches. I printed mine from GraphicStock,
which I have found to be a great resource. If interested, you can use my
<a href="http://go.referralcandy.com/share/Q9DDTVD">GraphicStock </a>discount to subscribe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cut
out the square you traced, trimming as necessary, to make sure it fits
perfectly inside your box.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3: Trace and cut a second cardstock square so it fits
the outside base of the box.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 4: Measure the sides of the box and cut two strips (one
for the outside and one for the inside) of holiday cardstock to fit it. Make
the width of the outside side strip just a hair wider than the inside strip.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 5: Cover the inside base of the box with matte medium
and adhere the holiday scene cardstock square you prepared.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 6: Cover the inner sides of the box with matte medium
and adhere the cardstock. Place the seam where the bottom of the ornament will
be to make it less conspicuous.</span></div>

dry.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Step 8: Cover the outside base of the box with matte medium

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 9: Cover the outside sides of the box with matte medium

bottom of the ornament will be.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 11: Cut a miniature fence to fit across the tin. Adhere
it to the box with a strong adhesive. After it dries, dab faux snow onto the
fence and onto the base of the tin. Sprinkle with glitter and let dry. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 12: Bend the end of a small artificial pine branch 90
degrees downward to form a small tab. Dab faux snow on the branch, sprinkle
with glitter and let dry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 13: Adhere the branch tab to the side of the box with a
strong adhesive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 14: Punch a hole in the top of the tin.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The question I'm most often asked is, "Where do you get your inspiration?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It might be easier to ask where I <i>don't</i> find inspiration. Because, it is <i>everywhere</i>! All the time. I only need to pay attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other night as we were about halfway through one of the wildest storms I've seen here in about a decade, the power went out. And it stayed out for five hours. We were lucky - some people waited almost three days to get the lights turned back on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The power outage was an inconvenience, but we were prepared. We lit candles and admired the sound of the howling wind and driving rain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I watched one of the candles flickering and throwing it's tiny light out into the big dark room, this cool <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_20&products_id=395" target="_blank">Candlesticks</a> set from Gina's Designs came to mind. As soon as the lights came on again, I was off and running... uh... painting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The base of this project is a 7 x 9" canvas panel to which I applied acrylic paint. For the candle, I coated the base in gold Delicata ink. I gave the candle a real wax look by using a combination of irRESISTibles in white and shimmer. I used yellow irRESISTibles for the flame and sprinkled on yellow glitter while it was still wet. I love the way the flame catches the light!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inspiration is everywhere. All we have to do is pay attention.</div>

Hi there! The grass here is still green (although the weather people are saying we might see some of the "white stuff" over the next couple days), but I had a glimpse of a white winter wonderland the last day I was in BC last week and was inspired to create snowy-looking elements on my cards...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMAeAaAamD8Gmq8XYK-Nz5jWppardA-wsbF1e_NH2joDwlYpvKTm7fl9Ooxe0lxiT-p8N6gQVoBSDBQ0OQBJPOqzAOZUvDbc8QTHX6vzhbz1U8nr4jGF_RT9L4rVt0qWEskVQykmUevs91/s1600/SAM_3226.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMAeAaAamD8Gmq8XYK-Nz5jWppardA-wsbF1e_NH2joDwlYpvKTm7fl9Ooxe0lxiT-p8N6gQVoBSDBQ0OQBJPOqzAOZUvDbc8QTHX6vzhbz1U8nr4jGF_RT9L4rVt0qWEskVQykmUevs91/s320/SAM_3226.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the fussy-cut ornaments on the blue card had silver details on them, I decided to heat-emboss the open heart pieces in silver. The plain heart I primed with gesso then coated with white glue before covering with clear glass glitter top create a snowy heart.<br />

On the grey card I chose a softer look by priming the pieces with gesso then heat-embossing them with white glitter embossing powder (it took two coats to get an evenly sparkly effect).<br />

Both cards look much more snowy and sparkly in real life of course-have some fun playing with glittery products on your chipboard goodies when you create Christmas projects this year-even if you live somewhere tropical you can have a white Christmas! Thanks a bunch for stopping by and have a wonderfully crafty and creative week!</div>

Hi everyone! Debbie with you today sharing a snowy layout using <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_28&products_id=109">Gina's Designs Winter Shape set</a>. We have been experiencing a little winter here where I live and while I was enjoying fall and some beautiful warm days, winter was bound to show up. <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_28&products_id=109"> Gina's Winter Shape Set</a> has the perfect embellishments for this snowy layout!</div>

When I started working on this I wanted it to feel frosty and frozen so I added some Glimmer Mist in an appropriate color called Glacier. I also used a color called Amethyst for this layout. To alter the snowflakes, tree and title, I gave them a quick coat of gesso and then simply embossed them with a silvery-glittered white embossing powder. While I was heating the embossing powder, I sprayed glimmer mist on the pieces so that they mica would embed into the embossing powder. </div>

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with my take on Gina's Designs Facebook Craft Group November Challenge by Deann Moffo McNulty. The Challenge is to be inspired by a Pinterest Project and I found a Christmas element set that inspired me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcfp79zmge2FVga-aEg3IwthnGjLRuU21K-USoSRZMfw0oVZEfdP0uctU-Z4wwUul-S73HdaLJy0oQ161Z4fvn32qj0RSvV7TFaD1LMLIK13Q7XFcS2rTKAC1nFgYiBjXBFpSa4mZ_R3D/s1600/christmas+elements+2015c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVcfp79zmge2FVga-aEg3IwthnGjLRuU21K-USoSRZMfw0oVZEfdP0uctU-Z4wwUul-S73HdaLJy0oQ161Z4fvn32qj0RSvV7TFaD1LMLIK13Q7XFcS2rTKAC1nFgYiBjXBFpSa4mZ_R3D/s320/christmas+elements+2015c.jpg" width="273" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used elements from Gina's Stackable Element Set, pink and green owl Christmas paper and punches to create the above elements set. The top circle is a 2 -1/4 inch punch and the two flags are from the Stackables set. I simply traced the shape of Gina's Stackables onto the paper and fussy cut. Gina's Stackables give the elements additional dimension. I used Christmas stamps that I had laying around from last year. All edges were distressed with vintage photo ink.<br />
<br />
The tag was created by using a punch and fussy cutting the owl and presents. Gina's Mini Flourishes Bella was colored green with a Copic Marker. I added Stickles, apple green and blue bling to all of the elements for some more pop. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below photo show all of the shapes that are included in Gina's Stackable Element Set. I only used 11 shapes from this set to create my elements, so there are a lot more elements to make. </div>

Good morning all you crafters out there! I wanted to try something and had a blast! So grab your cup and lets have a blast. </div>

With Christmas coming up I decided to play around and make a little Christmas spirit for my desk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I started with some casting resin on my embossing folders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWGBxizadpPN2Du5vgu4OoARQTl43JbOJU3gt7u-u1vSFg4ebppACN4rARem10kSFnwpU53oAXKTNf8CMVkCn44tYAD6CcWQMDKKNFGbYPXeK2olpLBxj-hFv0e9iiKmRJySa02VnUUm2/s1600/ShannaGDBagBox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWGBxizadpPN2Du5vgu4OoARQTl43JbOJU3gt7u-u1vSFg4ebppACN4rARem10kSFnwpU53oAXKTNf8CMVkCn44tYAD6CcWQMDKKNFGbYPXeK2olpLBxj-hFv0e9iiKmRJySa02VnUUm2/s320/ShannaGDBagBox.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I got my sheets ready to cut up to add to my box. You want to do this before they harden completely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sheet was thin enough to use my scissors with. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I glued them on. You can use any type of glue I am sure however, I used some soft matte gel medium to adhere the resin to my box. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Good morning! It's <a href="http://gloriascraps.blogspot.com/">Gloria </a>with you today! I am sharing </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">my FIRST EVER configuration/composition box! I have created trays and shadow boxes before, but this is my first compo box!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used the</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=440" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Composition Box - 25</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, which is 9 1/4" x 6 3/4". The kit comes with three smaller boxes which fit inside the main box, plus a key and the number "25." I created a Christmas scene with lots of bits and bobs from my stash!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGv_-SH2LLqV0nQ_DpyDU-83Jt11A7-1Zhc9F768-XS5IwBSgcB-pxcWpRe-mfxsF-W5Q6YVPkGQy9M0kWFQlpnAdKn1hYhLvYGTWscJXg2yyDo8SQySrvKzU9XE0gtN-88rRRJb56kHf/s1600/Gloria-Nov-20b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGv_-SH2LLqV0nQ_DpyDU-83Jt11A7-1Zhc9F768-XS5IwBSgcB-pxcWpRe-mfxsF-W5Q6YVPkGQy9M0kWFQlpnAdKn1hYhLvYGTWscJXg2yyDo8SQySrvKzU9XE0gtN-88rRRJb56kHf/s640/Gloria-Nov-20b.jpg" width="506" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can see, the box pieces are all notched for easy assembly! I started out by wiping each piece with a baby wipe to remove any dust. I then painted the edges with white acrylic paint.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGKRpf1e5n5ZGK45OL5co26D67MGfqpKn8EeevNhuvh76ykuvNTwRxJ6rdq5VTlTcRlOtpQcFy_pUs-kttQYcwFo8l2kXo7JG8mQJ2zgqu-kfPD0P33E4_oXc4EFgG0yfAXtiRCSrXpMFt/s1600/Gloria-Nov-20c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGKRpf1e5n5ZGK45OL5co26D67MGfqpKn8EeevNhuvh76ykuvNTwRxJ6rdq5VTlTcRlOtpQcFy_pUs-kttQYcwFo8l2kXo7JG8mQJ2zgqu-kfPD0P33E4_oXc4EFgG0yfAXtiRCSrXpMFt/s640/Gloria-Nov-20c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I painted the "25" and the key with Ranger Gold ink to give the pieces an aged appearance. I painted the metal feet with white paint and then dabbed them with the gold ink. (Please forgive my messy craft mat! I was in a hurry and forgot to use a white background!)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFQUF5fquhW3_yajJ3n7AF7fUuAEtkyJd55r7VzmFWOoPC1MdDG2aMKNRwA2I03hkF3eIwOArS8C0tMJFueL61imYw-tdw-uq32LonKiefdcjWvaqcyCbhEASO74syqKhC7-UlLJn-1wpc/s1600/Gloria-Nov-20d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="558" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFQUF5fquhW3_yajJ3n7AF7fUuAEtkyJd55r7VzmFWOoPC1MdDG2aMKNRwA2I03hkF3eIwOArS8C0tMJFueL61imYw-tdw-uq32LonKiefdcjWvaqcyCbhEASO74syqKhC7-UlLJn-1wpc/s640/Gloria-Nov-20d.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I labeled each box piece with the size of paper I needed, just to save time with measuring. I sponged all the paper edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWrm7J5iPiinH4w0cFMseAxsPfyxGsD4pMoqnCkr7I_JnZUBKENM5f8INiQYXCimfUociV4EyN-qy2PmGeI2wFvMwC86NBuvXJ09W_Ad3hKug7ML67iZI23HCvcYLXb4kF5FlztgsVC-V4/s1600/Gloria-Nov-20e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWrm7J5iPiinH4w0cFMseAxsPfyxGsD4pMoqnCkr7I_JnZUBKENM5f8INiQYXCimfUociV4EyN-qy2PmGeI2wFvMwC86NBuvXJ09W_Ad3hKug7ML67iZI23HCvcYLXb4kF5FlztgsVC-V4/s640/Gloria-Nov-20e.jpg" width="626" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the paper is attached to the box with a multi medium. I simply "painted" the paper with the medium and attached it to the box pieces BEFORE assembly. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used Ranger Glossy Accents to assemble the boxes, and to attach the small boxes, the metal feet, and the tree to the large box. The boxes are very sturdy and fit together beautifully. Those of you who know me, understand that I do not care for 3-D projects because they are often a pain to put together. I am here to tell you, that THIS project went together so quickly and easily! I was stunned! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made sure to cover the back of the box as well. I had thought to use washi tape to cover the edges, but decided I liked the white box showing through, almost as if it was an old crate! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I covered the sides of the box with contrasting paper. Each small box is covered with coordinating paper as well. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once I had the boxes assembled, it was time to decorate! I used some snowflakes from the</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=440" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Snowflake Shape Set</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to add accents to the top corners of the large box. I sprayed the large snowflakes with gold mist and the smaller snowflakes with silver. I added a gem for extra sparkle!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM4c0ZBvlYrMftE8yl7hAZlbGfWZc-1bxZ4Dm6isbQE0EBChvYygpAQdWjoFPBC2odTaj2ZVOY3G8E3jdukOIm7bRK7tYe1cJ0OA5lP2trlMJUZcS8dKWgQkMYnE6TuMqjBbK28QAm9zvl/s1600/Gloria-Nov-20h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM4c0ZBvlYrMftE8yl7hAZlbGfWZc-1bxZ4Dm6isbQE0EBChvYygpAQdWjoFPBC2odTaj2ZVOY3G8E3jdukOIm7bRK7tYe1cJ0OA5lP2trlMJUZcS8dKWgQkMYnE6TuMqjBbK28QAm9zvl/s640/Gloria-Nov-20h.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went through my holiday hoard, looking for fun embellishments to use for my project. This was a great way to use leftover bits of this and that! Each item is glued to the box with either Glossy Accents or hot glue. I filled some glass bottles with glitter and tiny bells to give some Christmas glitz to the box!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I created lots of little vignettes to give the boxes interest and texture. I tried to make everything gold, silver, or white, along with the traditional Christmas colors of red and green.</span><br />

I hope you are all enjoying your week. Barbara here with a pretty little vintage style Christmas Triptych. Triptychs are just about my most favorite projects to make. When I saw this beautiful laser cut <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=315">triptych</a> from Gina's Designs Lasercuts (soon to be Gypsy Soul Lasercuts, effective 1 December), I knew just what I wanted to do with it. Don't you just love when that happens?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Cut strips of Tyvek from used postal envelopes to make hinges. (TIP: I like using Tyvek because it is not only strong, but it is also very thin and practically unnoticeable when placed beneath paper.) Measure about 1-¼" up from the bottom and glue the Tyvek pieces between backing pieces, leaving about ⅛" to 1/4" space between the backs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Cut three consecutive pieces of Graphic 45 Christmas paper to cover the backs. I was a bit more precise cutting these pieces out as I will not be able to cut away where my hinges are.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I used three framed prints from the Graphic 45 Christmas Past papers die cut sheet. I backed them with black chipboard for strength and for dimension. Each print was edged with brown and black distress inks to define the edges, and then I coated each one with a Clear Crackle Glaze.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I got a little impatient and thought the crackle glaze was not working, so I added a coat of Crackle Accents over the top. Much to my surprise, I got this really cool "cracked glass" effect. That is what I love so much about mixed media ... the experimentation and surprising results.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I colored some German Scrap Holly Berry Leaves with StazOn Cactus Green and Claret, picking up the color from the ink pad with a fantastix brush.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> The StazOn goes on transparently, so it allows the shininess of the German Scrap to show through. I wanted to tone down the shininess, so I added some Olive metallic rub on to the leaves with my finger. You can see the difference in the photo below, where the leaves on the left are colored with the metallic rub on.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As Gina's November 2015 Guest Designer, I chose this project
because the shape of Gina's Standing Dome Frame Oval reminded me of a piece of
furniture that used to stand in my grandmother's front hall. That, however, is
where the similarities end. A relatively stern woman, my grandmother would
never have had something so sparkly and frivolous in her possession. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1: Paint fence, backdrop and base of Standing Dome
Frame Oval and the Moon String Along<span>
</span>with gesso. Let dry. Do NOT paint the Flourished Deer with gesso as the
layers get too thick for the intricate cuts. Trust me on this, I know. If you
don't trust me, trust Gina because she had to drop everything and send me
another pair of reindeer when I messed up the first pair. Good thing she is so
efficient that she puts Santa's workshop to shame. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 7: Using a strong adhesive, assemble the Standing Dome
Frame Oval (the backdrop, fence and base). </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 8: I found it tricky to get the deer to adhere the deer
in a way that they stayed perfectly upright. I tried a few different solutions
and this was what worked best for me. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">First, determine the placement of your deer and lightly mark
the location of their front and back hooves on the base with a pencil. Use
masking tape to temporarily adhere the deer in place. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then find four long nails with large flat heads. Temporarily
place one nail upright against the back of a front deer leg and determine where
to pierce the base so that the nail best supports the deer leg. Mark this spot
on the base. Repeat this for a front and rear leg of each deer. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove the deer from the base. Use a hammer and pierce the
base where you marked with each nail. Flip the base over and insert the nails so
that the flat head is snug against the bottom of the base.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Return the base to its upright position and adhere the deer
hooves to the base with strong adhesive and adhere the deer legs to the nails
with narrow strips of brown or white duct tape. </span></div>

Hi everyone!! Welcome back to another installment of my Holiday decorating!! This year I plan to have one room that is mostly decorated in white lace and burlap. I did not use any burlap on this piece, but I think it will look beautiful as part of the decor.</div>

First of all, can I just say how much I love the <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_28&products_id=109" target="_blank">Winter Shape Set</a>? I've been having so much fun with this set and I have so many ideas that I should probably order three more sets! This week I was thinking about holiday baking, which I love to do. Filling the house with all that glorious sugary, buttery scent and then handing someone a fresh tray of tasty treats? To me, that's what makes the holidays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I was contemplating my vast array of cookie cutters, I realized that I had a lot of the same shapes in Gina's Winter Shape Set. Ding, ding, ding! Idea time! Why not make a little gift tag ornaments to adorn my baskets, boxes and plates of goodies? So, that's exactly what I did.</div>

I used the snowman from this set in my Winter Gazebo piece last week (<a href="http://ginasdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/winter-at-gazebo-by-barb.html" target="_blank">here</a>), but I didn't use all the pieces intended for the snowman. So, I gave the hat, scarf and gloves to the penguin to wear.</div>

Hi there and greetings from beautiful (but cold) British Columbia! I'm here visiting my dad who hasn't been all that well and just before I left home, I created this tribute page with a photo of Dad taken by his best friend last year and lots of Gina's chipboard goodies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqe2UikCv1bP_sjelulSW89VrhJA6h7WkymrY1s7MMZQyJNfOtLkgUdhkh3bcA_VM1i7sDdKTiMT2oM4gOFuy1Mn_ZIPNKeNdfiLskVSvBTtVC1y0QJwD4-S-T0UwHsWBUlVSTGiR1ymg/s1600/SAM_3156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqe2UikCv1bP_sjelulSW89VrhJA6h7WkymrY1s7MMZQyJNfOtLkgUdhkh3bcA_VM1i7sDdKTiMT2oM4gOFuy1Mn_ZIPNKeNdfiLskVSvBTtVC1y0QJwD4-S-T0UwHsWBUlVSTGiR1ymg/s400/SAM_3156.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I started with a corrugated background and added some sand paste for texture. The chipboard and metal pieces were painted grey like the background and then attached to it. I added layers of mist and a bit of spattered acrylic paint as well as a little random stamping.<br />
<br />
Don't toss the punch-out negative pieces that come with texture sheets like the Brick wall: they make awesome embellishments as well! The brick pieces were covered with silver texture paste then lightly rubbed with black ink.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">I love this chain piece and added some extra tan mist to make it stand out; I wasn't especially careful about getting mist on the edges of the photo because I thought it would add to the grungy and masculine feel (although I did mask the center of the photo)</span></div>

<br />
I used several of Gina's gears as well as a couple metal ones and clustered them along with a Tim Holtz compass piece which was left unpainted for contrast.<br />

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a fun Fall card set that I created using <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_27&products_id=298">Gina's Fall Shape Set</a>. This set of chipboard pieces has so many fun pieces in it that I have gotten several projects out of this set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIN61AiGpajM9-rg54puVoqLRzS1KelwCn1___Xx9WCU7GSRhyphenhyphenOEOD6rwpXIeBT52Kqsyhn5sB7ukcA9K2aR4gQUlFGC7kmvv6FBeZb2mjH5HLec26rNLDXyNRzji46lgxISHZ2mWIPN52/s1600/IMG_2279.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIN61AiGpajM9-rg54puVoqLRzS1KelwCn1___Xx9WCU7GSRhyphenhyphenOEOD6rwpXIeBT52Kqsyhn5sB7ukcA9K2aR4gQUlFGC7kmvv6FBeZb2mjH5HLec26rNLDXyNRzji46lgxISHZ2mWIPN52/s640/IMG_2279.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To alter the chipboard pieces I simply inked them with VersaMark and then added two different colors of embossing powder. Next I rubbed them with Deco Art Metallic Rub and then simply inked the edges. </div>

<u></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone, Dianna here with Gina's Designs Marker Cabinet and my second video. I suggest doing a dry assembly prior to gluing and painting. The first two pictures show all of my Copic markers, some paint markers, Sharpies and Bella glitter pens. The whole cabinet is sturdy and holds up to 165 markers. It will also hold Spectrum Noir markers.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course I do things backwards; I spray painted prior to gluing. This made it more difficult to assemble! </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I used Beacon's 3-n-1 glue to assemble and then </span>Beacon's Fast Drying Decoupage was used to adhere the tissue paper. The tissue paper is from Marshall's. </span></div>

Barbara here with a couple of mixed media cards to share. I love working with <a href="http://Peacock Feathers Shape Set Texture Sheet Swirled Hearts Rose Leaves Cardstock Doily Set - Intricates Words and Phrases 1">Gina's Designs Lasercuts</a> chipboard because it is so easy to make beautiful cards. I have a complete step-by-step tutorial on <a href="http://blackholeartstudio.blogspot.com/2015/11/mixed-media-cards-romance.html">my blog</a> if you are interested. Otherwise, here is a quick explanation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54pu_wbBrCgfQQJRNKXhBWSOrXCeu-jRaZqmXW4xIrbZIRWjKFoBgYjl3w4ciAzDrA6eHKslxmGPvF7z_kSnZYBCZFI36bmyr3P36qQfz-mCMZB8Kx7KHlO7X7awbWBLoc6gtKTfX12l-/s1600/PB091563_edited-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="417" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54pu_wbBrCgfQQJRNKXhBWSOrXCeu-jRaZqmXW4xIrbZIRWjKFoBgYjl3w4ciAzDrA6eHKslxmGPvF7z_kSnZYBCZFI36bmyr3P36qQfz-mCMZB8Kx7KHlO7X7awbWBLoc6gtKTfX12l-/s640/PB091563_edited-1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For both cards, I used paper from the same Kaisercraft pad and acrylic paints to color the chipboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the Love card, I colored cut sections from the <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=50&products_id=364">Swirled Hearts Texture Sheet </a> with blue, buff, and red acrylic paint and adhered them to the card front, as shown. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I colored the half <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=96">Intricate Cardstock Doily</a> with blue, green and buff paint, which I layered onto a scrap circle of corrugated cardboard. The <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_47&products_id=324">word Love</a> was colored with red and buff acrylic paint and adhered to a label from the paper pad, along with <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_19&products_id=881">Rose Leaves</a> that were colored with blue, green and buff acrylic paints. A butterfly and gem swirls were added, as shown.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, I'm one of <i>those</i>. Halloween is done, so bring on the twinkly lights and snow and sparkly stuff! And no skimping on the hot cocoa and cookies! I'm ready. So ready that, with the help of Gina's Designs, I conjured up a magical little snowy park I can go to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to give my piece the feeling of a chilly evening after a good snowfall. So I began by using ModPodge to adhere mulberry paper to my canvas board. I slathered on some iridized purple paint to give it that late evening shimmer. To mimic snow that had been trampled while building Mr. Snowman, I spread gesso over the lower portion of the mulberry paper and added clear glitter while it was wet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I set all that aside to work on the gazebo. To this, I sponged on plenty of gesso. I didn't worry about making it smooth and pretty because I wanted it to have that "just snowed" look. While the gesso was wet, I sprinkled clear glitter on it as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaxzhOY2cI6hrntf2ccBBS_6EgebVpGXe41zrZ3-uRKhxhgcNrhz3q4sGkKVXU_EkZuPoU-lVFwuQtecb6uCcfT5VCua0CRw1H22sSEsnsDcg5QvYrVaUKdmup4aVcqGZGGZj209nM-8Tp/s1600/gazebo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaxzhOY2cI6hrntf2ccBBS_6EgebVpGXe41zrZ3-uRKhxhgcNrhz3q4sGkKVXU_EkZuPoU-lVFwuQtecb6uCcfT5VCua0CRw1H22sSEsnsDcg5QvYrVaUKdmup4aVcqGZGGZj209nM-8Tp/s400/gazebo.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted the lights to really shine against all that glittery, shimmery snowy stuff. I coated the strand and sockets first with green irRESISTibles. I let it dry for a few minutes and then coated the bulbs with various colors of irRESISTibles. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, it was time to turn my attention to Mr. Snowman. I coated everything but the hat with gesso and this time, instead of sprinkling on glitter, I smashed glitter into the wet paint. I painted his hat with black acrylic paint - I accidentally got some of the wet white gesso on it, but I kind of like the mottled effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the paint had dried, I tied a red ribbon around the hat. I also dabbed on Liquid Pearls for the eyes and mouth and added rhinestones for buttons. As for the carrot? Here's why you never <i>ever <b>ever</b></i> throw away scraps from Gina's. You guessed it - that nose is a punch out scrap from a different project. I don't even remember what set it might have been from - I have a baggie full of little scrap bits that I've saved and find all kinds of uses for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made the arms from branches that I snipped off of the tree that came in the <a href="http://www.ginasdesigns.net/Store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18_23_28&products_id=109" target="_blank">Winter Shape Set</a>. I gave them a light coat of brown craft ink.</span></div>
