Ellie Skating Ornament- Blog candy alert!

7:53 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!!

Today it is freezing here!! 28 degrees! Yuck!! I am so not ready for winter. Why can't it stay for a while longer.....

Anywho...today I have an ornament to share with you. Time seems to be flying by and winter and Christmas are on the way. It is definitely time to get cracking on all the holiday creations. I do love the holidays though so to me it is fun (when it does not become so crazy busy that you can not reflect on the true meaning of the season).
Not to long ago Your Next Stamp had a holiday stamp release with some very adorable images. For my ornament, I chose Ellie Loves to skate.

For my creation, I colored Ellie with copics, cut her out and popped her on dimensionals. The snowflake background is metallic with lots of glitter. The snowflakes hanging from the ornament are buttons (4 buttons sewn together so there is no wrong side, I figured they may twirl a lot.)

One of my dearest and best friends challenged me to not sew on my creation....Well I flunked that challenge...I really thought the gold thread would add some elegance to my ornament and also would keep the ornament in tack better. I am a stitching junky!!

Challenges I entered my ornament in:

I wanted to give a shout out for my dear friend Angela whose birthday is this month. She has some awesome candy up for grabs. You may want to go and check it out. And while you are there....take a look at her fabulous creations. Angela's creations are always over the top and her coloring is tops!!! Not to mention, she is the sweetest friend ever. Just click on her name above to get to her blog.

Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments!! Have a great day!!
