Sparkle N Sprinkle Winter Wonderland Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Winter Wonderland Blog Hop!

It's been a long hop this time, but I hope you've enjoyed the journey

as much as we've enjoyed taking you there.

If you've arrived by way of the Fabulous Jackie Smith's blog, then you're 

in the right place.  If not, you may want to start back at the beginning

so you don't miss any of the fun AND you don't miss any prizes!

Click here to go back to the beginning.   www.sparklensprinkle.com/blog

I'll list the entire rotation below so you can double check and go back

to anyone you may have missed.

My inspiration for Winter Wonderland was actually a stamp image

called Winter Wonderland.  It just seemed appropriate to use that one.

It's a sweet little snowman image that I colored with my Copics and 

glitzed up using the new Sparkle N Sprinkle Velvet Glitters.

If you haven't tried them yet, prepare to be amazed!  They actually 

feel like velvet!!! There are tons of ideas in the Tips & Techniques section

of the Sparkle N Sprinkle website devoted to all the fun ways to use

this fabulous product and I know that some of the other designers

have already shown you some of them.

I've layered the snowman on a few Spellbinder die cuts including one

of my new favorites from the Floral Ovals collection.

The beautiful snowflake background CS is from Recollection
Holiday Glitzy Glitter Collection and feels
 just like the velvet glitters!   The red and cream CS is from

Authentique's Festive Collection and to make it appear to match the 

snowflake background, I covered it with 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and covered the 

entire thing with Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter.

Now it's a perfect match.

A little pink pearl flourish bling from EVA Creatives and
ribbon from May Arts and he's good to go.

You can see how well the two cardstocks match even though one was pre-glittered

and the other was glittered by moi :)

The snow under the snowman was created by using Sparkle N Sprinkle

Dimensional Glue and covering it with Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter.

Hope you enjoyed the hop!

Here's the entire rotation in case there's one (or more) you'd like to return to. 

Remember - to be eligible for any of the prizes you MUST comment on each and

every blog along the way.  We've given you FOUR days to complete this - so you

can comment at your leisure.

Arriving in NYC - LaGuardia

Taking a quick break from all my postings - whew!!!   

Went to NYC (Brooklyn) last month to see the kids and grandkids and flew over

New York in a different way than we usually come in.  Got some fabulous photos

of the city and also of Flushing Meadow park with the old World's Fairgrounds -

 theTennis Stadium and Citi Field.  

Some great shots of LaGuardia too.   

Hope you enjoy them :)

 Nice view of the Statue of Liberty, the Staten Island Ferry Boats and New Jersey.

Lower Manhattan, Roosevelt Island & the Brooklyn Terminal.

 

 Great view of lower Manhattan (Battery Park) - Roosevelt Island - New Jersey 

on the top part and Brooklyn on the bottom part.

The new World Trade Center

 Lower Manhattan from the Brooklyn Side - 

Nice shot of Dumbo (home of Fishbucket International -  

my son-in-law's web design company)

 

 Great view of LaGuardia just before landing.

You can see why it flooded during Sandy!  

 Citi Field and the Tennis Stadium

A great overview of Citi Field, the Tennis Stadium and some of

the old buildings in Flushing Meadow Park from the

World's Fair 1964-65

Hope you enjoyed the view.

So Many Cookies - So LittleTime

 So Many Cookies - So Little Time.....    Santa's got to eat all those cookies.....  

It's making me hungry!!!

This is a fun image from Inky Antics that I've colored with my Copics 

and glitzed  up using Sparkle N Sprinkle's fabulous new 

Velvet Glitters -  Gypsy Red and Cloud Nine.  

I just love the feel of them and what a shine they produce.

Snowmen have more fun

And the roll continues :)    Here's a cute little Snowman image from Penny Black that's one of my all time favorites.  I used some of Sparkle N Sprinkle's Super Adhesive Sheets - peeled off the protective backing from one side - layered it onto a piece of cardstock - die cut my circle - covered it with Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter from SNS - stamped the image with Memento ink and colored it with Copics.  LOVE LOVE LOVE the look.  The Copics are sheer so the glitter just shines thru the coloring.

Here's another card done using the same technique.  This stamp image is from Print Works.
On this image, after I colored it, I added some SNS Dimensional Glue to the hooks and the toppers and covered it with Reflections Velvet Glitter.

 

Christmas Froggy Style

I know, right now you're thinking - she's on a roll!!!   I actually spent some time in my craft room last week creating!!!   Hopefully, this trend will continue and I'll have time to post more often - BUT - I'm not holding my breath LOL....   
Here's a fun card with a Penny Black image from a few years back.   Copics,  some fabulous Sparkle N Sprinkle velvet glitter and google eyes  add to the fun.  The tiny rick rack is from May Arts.

 

Pet Sympathy

Sparkle N Sprinkle has an excellent Stampette Set for those times when someone you know has lost their 4 legged companion.  If you're a pet lover, then you know how hard it is to say goodby.   Here are a couple of cards I have made up for those sad occassions.

 

 

Get well soon....

Here's another fun card - again, an image stamped from my sister, Lynn's collection.  I suspect it's an Art Impressions image, but not sure.   Just want you don't want to see coming at you in the hospital LOL....  Colored with my trusty Copics.

 

Golf anyone???

It's been a while, but here's a cute card that I did the other day for a craft sale. It's an image that I had stamped at my sister's - so don't remember exactly what company it's from - but it's a fun image.
Colored it with copics and added a little "snowball" for the golf ball.   One of my favorite embossing folders (Swiss Dots) and some Spellbinder dies and I was ready to go.  Hope you enjoy it.
Okay - my sister has responded - it's an Art Impressions image :)
