It's Snowing Cupcakes (I wish!)

Here is my midway DT project for this month's 12 Months of Christmas Link-Up challenge. I got to play with a sweet digi image from Imagine That! Digis by Kris. It's called Cupcake Snowman. The blog offers us an optional theme of Kids' Christmas cards. In order to have a chance to win the prize from our wonderful guest sponsor this month, they want to see a Christmas or other holiday card, meant for a child between the ages of 0 & 12. I can't wait to see how it turns out! If you do follow the optional theme, be sure to add FT after your name so that they include you in the draw for the prize.
Remember, you don't need to follow the theme to link up your cards, earn a free paper each month, and have your name thrown into the year-end draw for some extra digital goodies. You only need to follow the theme if you want a chance to win this month's sponsored prize of a $10 gift certificate to Imagine That! Digis by Kris store.

Here's a little about this month's sponsor:

 Imagine That! Digis by Kris™ is a mother/daughter team bringing you our cutest hand-drawn images that you can flip, re-size, re-color, print & use in your crafting creations!  Almost all our digi sets include both color & outline formats & include sentiments for a great value.  In addition to carrying family-friendly digi stamps, we also offer digital papers and KD-Kits, all available as instant downloads!  You may want to check out our Free blog Wear category, as well as find freebies on our Facebook Page and join in our monthly progressive challenge where everyone who plays, Wins!  You can read more about us here on our 'About the Artists' page.

Okay, crafters, it's your turn! You have until October 31st to link up your card(s) at the 12 Months of Christmas Link-Up blog. If you link up at least 2 cards, you will receive a free digital Christmas-themed paper from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles. If you create using the theme of Kids' Christmas, make sure you add the letters FT after your name for that prize draw.
And as always, crafters, have fun!!

Tripping Along the Path of Happiness

Today at the Path of Positivity we explore the many different meanings of Happiness. The Happiness theme can be expressed in your creative projects in any way you wish, whether cards, layouts, canvas, altered art, even your blog write-up.

One of this month's sponsors is Imagine That! digis by Kris, and I got to play with a set of images called Pretty Peacocks. This set includes: 2 peacocks, colored and outline, a flower trio, and 7 sentiments, all in both JPG and PNG format.

I played around with the 2 peacock images and 2 of the sentiments to gift my girlfriend with a reminder to be happy. She is a gorgeous and amazing woman but needs a reminder as to that fact.
I started with a wooden block and Mod Podged/painted the base on all six sides, then covered it with some handmade tissue paper.

Next I adhered patterned paper squares to my sides to frame my images and sentiments, which came next. Then the real fun began, which was to decide what embellishments went where. Instead of listing them all, I took a few photos of my paper weight from different angles.
