Last of the Christmas stuff!
You may be as glad to have this be the last of the Christmas creations as I am! I STILL haven’t decorated my tree or house yet. What in the heck am I waiting for?

I used the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers to make this clear glass ornament. I only did a couple of things differently. I used my Adirondack paint dabber in snow cap to dab on the back of the acetate after coloring the penguin. Doesn’t he have the funniest expression on his face? I also added beads to the snow inside the ornament. I know you can’t see them in this photo, but they ARE there. I made 7 of these – 6 for all the grandkids (mine and George’s) and 1 for me!

Not only is this the last Christmas creation this year, it’s also the last creation I’ll be making as a member of the Jacksonbelle Embellishments Design Team. It’s been a wonderful experience and I’ve absolutely loved getting to know all my talented, funny and creative teammates. I’m going to try to slow down the pace of my life and concentrate more on my grandkids and my aging Mom. A huge thank you goes out to Lindsey, Lynda and the whole team who have been such a joy to work with.
This week’s challenge is a sketch. And I wanted to use this fun Fancy Pants – Happy Holidays paper one more time this year. I just realized that Snowy Jo looks dirty in the photo!! He’s not actually. He’s been painted with Angel Wings Shimmerz and he’s very beautifully shiny IRL!!
I used my Stampin’ Up! classy brass Priceless template for the snow flourish behind Snowy Jo. I used my BG10 Copic marker to paint along the flourish and behind the sentiment. I also painted both of these with the Shimmerz as well.

Hi Broni, I hope I’m leaving the comment for the blog candy at the right spot? The ornament and card are adorable. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I love this little Penguin. Every time I see him used I am reminded that I need this little guy. The ornament sold me this morning. Certainly not the first time your art has convinced me I needed to purchase an item. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!!

Making a glass ornament for friends and family is a wonderful way to make Christmas even more special; I love receiving handmade gifts!

I just picked up “snowy Jo” at my local scrapbook store a couple of weeks ago. I stamped, colored and cut him out but I haven’t made him into a project yet. Cute card you made though. and I have the penguin too – isn’t he the cutest????
Your ornament will be a fabulous keepsake for years to come! You’re a good Mom/Grandma!
These are both just SO cute, Broni!! I ***LOVE*** your little ornament! And that little marshmallow guy on your tall card….just adorable! And at least you MADE some Christmas cards!! (You know what that means, don’t you? Shhhh!!!!
I love your darling penguin ornament! What a nice gift idea. You card is great too. Hope you have a happy holiday and get your decorating done. I have yet to get my tree up as well. I decorate the office where I work and end up with little time to do my own stuff. It always gets done eventually. Thanks for the chance to win!
When you order frogs legs at a restuarant what do they do with the rest of the frog ? – Well surely they just throw the rest of the frog away and take it to the tip.
One again, Keep working. Thanks. . .
