Flaunt It Friday - Challenge #2: "Deb's Silhouette"

 Good evening Friday Flaunters (it's Saturday here in Melbourne, lol!)  I LOVE this particular Flaunt, as the PDDU cart is pretty much my all-time favourite!  Check out the challenge to 'Flaunt' the sleigh on P.74 of the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge at  http://flauntitfridays.blogspot.com/2010/12/fif-2-blog-hop-1-winner.html

Oh, and congrats to Erika for last week's win!  Woohoo!!  This blog stuff is fun!! :)

Here is my effort for this week: a 12x12 layout, with "Space" paper from Disney/Pixar as the background, using the cloud-covered moon from the Disney - Princesses Dreams Come True cartridge.  I then used the reindeer from the Christmas cartridge, copied and welded in pairs using my ever-wonderful Gypsy (of course!), and the blackout head and Santa hat from the PDDU cartridge, (welded it into the sleigh) - all in black to give the 'silhouette against the moon' look.  I added some feature to the clouds using Pebbles chalks, and used a some Kindyglitz in Crystalina to highlight the sleigh.  Hope you guys like it!

This layout is inspired by one of my happiest (and possibly earliest) Christmas memories - when I was about 6, I got out of bed on Christmas Eve and looked at the moon, and to this day I still believe I saw the silhouette of Santa's sleigh and reindeer pass by.  It's such a lovely thought, and I wanted to share it!

Flaunt It Friday - Challenge

OK, this is the first time I've ever taken part in a challenge, so here goes!

I don't have the Winter Frolic cartridge, so I used my Gypsy to create my own version of this adorable little snowman from Page 29.  I used images from the Wild Cards cartridge, George and Basic Shapes, and even used a bumper fender from the Cars cartridge (for the top of the ear muffs!), then hid the parts of the images I didn't want, welded it all together and took a scarf from the Every Day Paper Dolls cartridge.  I finished off with PKS Everyday Character Face Parts for the face and the buttons down the front, and added some KindyGlitz in Crystalina (similar to Stickles, I'm assuming!) for some bling on the scarf and on the ear muffs.  I cut my snowman out 3 times on Bazzill Weave and stuck them together to give some dimension (using my Xyron 5").  The backing paper on the card is Making Memories Glitter Diagonal Stripe, and I cut the sentiment "Greetings" out of the Christmas cartridge on plain black cardstock.

Hope you like him!

Cheers!
