Sentimental Sundays #22 - Let's See Some Dimension

The new Sentimental Sundays challenge is "Let's See Some Dimension". I enjoyed making this card because the image reminds me of my daughter when she still had long hair.



This picture shows the dimension a little better.



I used Hug Snug seam binding to tie a double bow. The snowflakes are layered to add a bit more dimension.

Please join the Sentimental Sundays "Let's See Some Dimension". The rules are really easy - create a new project (it can be combined with other challenges), use a sentiment, and follow the challenge theme. You can use any stamps or products that you would like. For more information or to link up your creation, go to the Sentimental Sundays blog. Remember that Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs posts a new freebie each week.

I hope you are having a great week end. I think I am finally getting a craft room. Currently, I have everything put away and then I drag it out to the kitchen table when I want to craft. Then I put it all way when I am done for the evening or for dinner time. I am to excited to get a space to use and I can leave partially completed projects out. If you have any tips on things that work great or maybe don't work so well in your craft space, I would love to hear them. I don't have much of a budget and a chunk of that is going to have to go for some decent lighting in the room.


Challenges:


Supplies:
  • Stamps: Lily in Her Winter Coat from Pink Cat Studios, Tree Trimming Trios from PaperTrey
  • Papers & CS: PaperTrey white CS, GP white CS, Stampin' Up Pretty in Pink CS, BasicGrey Eskimo Kisses DP,Wausau Paper Metallics CS
  • Inks: Close To My Heart Blush
  • Tools: Fiskars edge punch, EK Success snowflake punch, Stampin' Up word window punch, Big Shot, Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities, Copic markers
  • Embellishments: Hug Snug Winter White seam binding, Fun Flock, Paper Studios gemstones

I love her! She is soooo pretty! This card is just outstanding! I love all your dimensions!! And her little muff! I used to have a white (fake) fur one growing up - he he.

Congrats getting a craft space! I love mine. I HAVE to keep things out in view in order to use them. If they go into drawers or behind cabinet doors, I forget what I have!

Enjoy creating your space!!
