Hi! I am Chris, also known as Glowbug on Splitcoaststampers. I live in Appomattox, VA. I so much enjoy blogging and the so many good friendships that have formed as a result. During my free time, I am creating cards or projects and I so enjoy Challenges. I have a very supportive husband, Scott, who understands my addiction and two young daughters,Meghan, 9 and Nicki, 12 years of age, who can't wait to get their hands on my stamps and embellishments. I was an elementary school teacher until my youngest was born. I have now been blessed with the opportunity to teach my two girls at home. I use stamping as a hobby or way to escape.

Our Daily Bread Designs, Christmas Bells, Pines and Branches Dies, Christmas Card Verses stamp set, Lavish Layers, Pierced Rectangles, Double Stitched Rectangles, Leaves and Branches Dies
This was a fun card to create! The bells were created with White Neenah Cardstock and the Christmas Bells die.  Parts in brown where colored while the sparkles were created with Stickles.  The sentiment was framed with Double Stitched Rectangles, 2 layers from the Lavish layers, Pierced Rectangles, and Leaves and Branches Dies.  The Bow on the bell is a part of the Christmas Bells die set.  The pine was created with the Pines and Branches dies.  I loved making this monochromatic design.

Thanks for stopping by!  Another month has flown by!  Where is the time going?  ODBD is kicking off the month with a lot of fun and beautiful Christmas dies!!  One of the dies is one that can be used on all occasions....a 3d Diorama die!!

My first creation was created using the new Cloud Borders Die, Neigborhood Border Die, Diorama and Layers Die, and Bethelehem Dies as well as the previously released Snow Crystals Dies, Curvy Slopes Die, Deer and Trees Die and Christmas 2017 Paper Collection (6x6).  It was fun to create!! The slopes were created with the Curvy Slopes dies as well as the slope from the Bethlehem Dies. After they were cut and embossed, I added stickles to the edges.  The clouds peaking through are created with the cloud border dies.  After cutting the neighborhood, slopes, deer and trees, as well as the snowflakes, Stickles were added to parts of the snowflakes.

My second creation is made using the Great Joy stamp die duo, the Diorama with Layers Die, Bethlehem Dies, Rectangle Dies, and the Christmas Card Collection 2016 6x6 Paper.  It was such a fun card to create!  The wisemen were colored with copics.  The trees and Bethlehem scene were cut from black cardstock to create a night time scene.
