You'll have to drop by here tomorrow (Saturday) to see Day 5 winners and the winner of the BIG GIVEAWAY!


First up today are some very fun retro images from Graphic Market.  You will love browsing through all the goodies!


Don't you just love the colors and look of these images?  All I did was add a snowflake (the paper is also from Graphic Market) and make a couple of tags with twine. Love them!

Giveaway #1
Graphic Market is giving one set of your choice!  Just comment on this post and let me know you would like to win!




I've used gorgeous images from Janet's store Digital Paper to create some mason jar lid ornaments.  


 I made several mason ring pumpkins and I had all the lids left over.  So I was looking at some of Janet's goodies and saw these circles and it just clicked!  I had these ornaments available at my last show and people just loved them!  I've had to make quite a few more.  They are a nice weight and are just lovely and shiny!


Janet has several circle sets that would work perfectly for these ornaments.  Size the circles to match the lid.


Here you need to make a decision.  You could make shaker ornaments - just follow the directions for the shadowbox card from Visions of Sugarplums Day One.  Or you can do glittery, shiny ones.  

Discard the image from the second image.  Stack the rings and glue.  Glue the frame on top. Glue the whole stack on top of the image.  Now you have a nice, thick base to create the ornament.


You want the sides to look nice, so don't skip this part!  Plus it's a great way to add the hanger at the same time!


Now you're ready to make it shiny.  Fill the space you've created with the rings with Diamond Glaze and sprinkle with glitter.  Let dry.  Now decorate!  Oh, so pretty!

Giveaway #2
The winner will get one set of choice from Digital Paper!  Just comment below for a chance to win!

Giveaway #5
Moonlighting by Mary is giving away a set of her gorgeous images.  Let me know you want to win!



I just love these silhouettes!  The stamp set is from a company in England.  I'm not sure if they are available here or not.  But I'm adding a set to my BIG GIVEAWAY!

Lori's Big All-Week-Long Giveaway
My Big All-Week-Long Giveaway will grow each day.  One lucky reader will get everything in all five of the photos I will post over the week.  Winner will be announced on Saturday.  Picture #5:

silhouette stamps and snowman stamps - added to all the previous days to make one big all-week-long giveaway!

Important:  You get your name entered for the day's giveaways every time you leave a comment.  So visit each blog and leave a comment on each one.  I'll check out the comments every day, so if you comment on 5 blogs, you have your name put in the drawing five times for that day.  I keep a record over the whole week so if you comment each day on 5 blogs, you have your name in my BIG All-Week-Long giveaway 25 times.  
Have fun visiting these blogs (and don't forget to comment):

Visions of Sugarplums Day Two

Welcome to the second day of Visions of Sugarplums! (If you're looking for MTME, scroll down one post.)   Hope you were able to make it to all the blogs yesterday.  I enjoyed every post!

First, let's announce the winners of yesterday's giveaways:

3 sets of choice from The Cutting Cafe:  Sharla
1 set of choice from Moonlighting by Mary:  butlersabroad
1 set of choice from Paper Sweeties:  Butterfly

Congratulations to the winners (email me lhairston@cox.net  and we'll get your prizes to you) and a big thank you to Regina, Mary, and Debbie for their generosity!



I mentioned yesterday about loving vintage goodies.  It's just not Christmas without the "old stuff" - you know what I mean?  So I tend to gravitate to vintage looking "new stuff" too.  One of my regular etsy stops is Beatriz's Iralamija shop.  Her images are perfect for me - I love creating with them! 



These santas are adorable!



For our first giveaway, Beatriz is giving one set of your choice from her shop.  She has lots of  Christmas goodies and other wonderful images, too!  Go see!

Our second giveaway is 1 set of choice from Moonlighting by Mary.  (I showed a banner using her images yesterday.  If you missed it, click here.)

Our third giveaway is 1 set of your choice from Paper Sweeties.  (Darling stamps!)

Last year, I lucked upon a bunch of Viewmaster Pockets with the reels inside.  I just love them!  I especially love them for gift card holders or to tuck a little note into.  This year I made gift card holders for Christmas with oh, so cute reindeer:


Aren't these fun?

My giveaway is growing!  You get everything to make one reindeer viewmaster gift card pocket!  In addition to what I showed yesterday, you will also get:


The santa dot to dot book is adorable!  Someone has done a couple of them, but it is still the cutest!  I lucked upon a couple, so I can manage to give one up!  There's also a couple of vintage bingo cards, a Dennison diecut reindeer (wonderful!) and a new stamp from Impress.

How do you win the giveaways?  Comment!  Leave a comment here and on all the participating blogs.  Every comment counts as an entry. (Keep commenting - if you didn't win yet, every comment counts.  If you did win, you might win again!)  My prize will continue to grow each day and the winner will be announced Saturday, Dec. 8th. 

Here are Tuesday's blogs to visit for Christmas Cheer:


 
Can't wait to visit and see all the wonderful ideas - join me!  See you tomorrow for Day Three of Visions of Sugarplums!
