We have another FUN challenge for you at Lasting Memories!
What inspires you about this picture?
I see a TRAIN and CHRISTMAS of course!
My Cricut is seeing some love! LOL!
To cut out my train, I used 'Joys of the Season' Cart.
Can you tell I like NUTCRACKERS?!
I made a boo, boo. When I printed my pix, I chose too small, but I didn't want to throw them away, so I used them on the train. The letters are Thickers.

LMCB #117

Hello! Thank-you for sharing a bit of your talent with us last week!
We have a brand new challenge for you this week at Lasting Memories. It's called
"SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS"
I used this sketch from Ashley Horton.

Do you know how hard it is to find pics of Snow in El Paso!
Well found some taken in 2009 that I haven't scrapped yet just waiting until the right moment and that moment is now! (Yesterday the high was 75)
Anyhoo, I cut out my snowflakes with my CRICUT The paper was already embossed and the letters are metallic thickers. The label is a punch from SU. I glued the embossed paper on a metallic 12x12 sheet which incidentally was not easy to photograph, I had to get some tips from the photographer, Karen

At Jackson's Digital Expressions we are challenged to create a CAS but there is a twist...You have to use some patterned paper. I thought my 'Lil Matadore' would be perfect, isn't he cute!
I don't do bull fights bc I ALWAYS WANT THE BULL TO WIN! Colored him with copic markers and fussy cut him out (didn't get too fussy though!) I tried to keep it masculine which is hard cuz I like girlie swirlie things. Added some gold stickles on his outfit. Thanks to Elizabeth, I have stickles in every color! My patterned paper and bling is from my stash. I embossed with a folder from SU in my Bigshot.
