Let's Have A Ball For Christmas!



Good Morning. Bloggers!

I have a fun project for you, today, and even have a tutorial for you, too! Yay! How about this cute customized Christmas ornament and instructions how to make it?! I thought this would be the perfect project for this week's tutorial, since we're wrapping up the tail end of our Christmas in July challenge!

My Christmas ornament has a cute digi inside! I  fussy cut the image, Jingle Bells, By Shelly's Images, colored with Promarkers, and accented with a clearstar gelly roll pen to add glitter and sparkle to the bells and the bow.  I used Red Ribbon from my stash to embellish the ornament hanger.

I think it turned out really cute! This is my first time making one of these, so its a new technique for me! Don't you just love it?! I'd love to hear what you think!  Oh, and if you do love it, and want to find out how to make your own, check out my tutorial on how to make this ornament!  You can find it, HERE, at the Shelly's Images Blog!

Remember, you only have till Wednesday afternoon to enter our Christmas In July challenge at Shelly's Images, but there will be a new challenge starting Thursday!

Come visit us at Shelly's Images!
