For today's project I have an ornament to share with you, I made this ornament for a friend of my Daughter whose is expecting a baby in December. I put the baby's initial on the front of the ornament. I believe this was the baby's first Christmas ornament. I am in the process of making a few different versions of this ornament for our family that I will post and share with you as soon as they are finished.

For today's project I have a card to share with you, and I believe this is one of my favorite cards that I have made. To make this card I used my Cricut cartridge...Art Philosophy by Close To My Heart, cutting everything on the card including the flowers.  The card itself and the paper that I used  are all by Paper Studio.  The two Stamp Sets that I used are also from Close To My Heart.  The two stick pins or memo pins as they are called that are behind the flowers are by Tim Holtz. I also 
de-stressed the edges of the burgundy paper with my little de-stresser by Imaginisce  to give a little extra look. And last but not least I added some little clear gem stones to the center of the flowers, I love the extra look that the gems give the flowers.

For today's project I have an ornament to share with you. I bought a plain glass ornament at one of my local craft stores, cut an Angel out of vinyl on my Cricut, placed the vinyl cut out onto the glass ornament, then took some glass etching cream and sponged it on the ornament, once it had set for about 10 minutes I rinsed off the etching cream and this is my end result. I was going to give this as a gift to someone, but now I am not so sure that I really want to give it away, I think that I might just have to keep it for myself.
