Hey Ya's! Happy October 1st! Wowwww .. can you believe it? Another month has flown by and we are getting closer and closer to another new year .. eeeeek!
I've made my first Christmas card .. yup .. I am so ready for the Winter months as it is so hot here still. I am tired of the heat so if any of you can send some cold weather this way .. I'd be truly grateful. ;)
Okay, so I've seen shaker cards around for awhile as all of you lovely crafters have already done them .. I think I may be the only one who has not done one until now. ;) I thought they'd be difficult .. but it is actually quite fun and easier than I imagined!
This wooden sled was from Michaels that I purchased last year .. I painted it with gesso, then covered it with lots of glitter (which of course is not visible in the photos .. grrrrrr!). I put some seed beeds and sequins in the shaker .. so much fun I want to make more! haha.
I really want to thank you for stopping by to visit me .. I appreciate it so much!
Wishing you a most beautiful day and hope to see you again soon!
Hugs,
Elise

Oooooh this is super stunning Elise. So pretty and I love the sleigh over the shaker aperture. I think I have made one shaker card in all my time...will have to think (more probable than do) about doing another! As for the heat...will willingly do a swap. Hugs xx
I'm so glad you did a shaker card..... and how perfect it is!! The sled is fantastic (grrrr that Michaels won't open a branch in Yorkshire!) and all your fabulous details......... perfect! I'm glad you've caught the shaker card bug - and look forward to more of your stunning creations!
Have a good (maybe cooler?) weekend Sweetie..
