My Favorite Things Guest Designer Search

Looking for the Paper Players Blog Hop?  Please CLICK HERE. 

Hello stamping friends!  Well at My Favorite Things, they are having a Guest Designer search!  I was so excited to see this opportunity and decided to play along!  Their theme is to "Bling it On"!  So I truly hope I "BLUNG" it!!  As you can see from my first picture, I used some silver glimmer paper to create a snowy scene...she is making a snowman and I wanted the scene to just shine!


I paper pieced her jacket, she looks quite festive doesn't she? And I paper pieced the snow piled below her paper pieced boots.  That glimmer paper is tough to stamp on but I found if I left the stamp on the page for a full minute, the ink did show up.  So then I cut out the snowy mound and glued it in place under her boots.  I used a strip of Music Patter Paper from my 6x6 Bo Bunny Et Cetra pack to echo the sentiment...one of my favourite Christmas songs..."Baby It's Cold Outside"...


I hope you have enjoyed viewing my card! To see the other samples or to play along yourself, please click HERE. You never know unless you try!! Good luck!

    This is so sparkly and fun! You did an amazing job with your paper piecing (I always want to call it piercing. lol) I love the designer papers and that image is just too cute! I wish we were having snow...and that it was sparkling silver!
