ABC...

Challenge time at Jellypark Friends and this time our challenge is as easy as A-B-C ! It is our Anything But a Card challenge. I used the cute boy in airplane image to make a 3 dimensional gift card holder perfect for a young lad. I also recycled an empty pretzel container to turn it into a "snow globe". Here is my creation...
My jar was turned upside down with the top becoming the bottom and the bottom becoming the top.
I placed a piece of paper inside the jar to act as the backdrop "sky". My image is fussy cut and then I used clear acetate to suspend it from the (what is now) the top of the jar. On the bottom of the jar I created a little scene using trees and a house cut out from 2 different Cricut cartridges. These were then taped to the bottom of the jar and some shredded paper placed over them. The house was backed with another piece of paper that was glued only around the edges to be able to hold a gift card. Once I finished the bottom it was as easy as ABC to close the top and bottom together! Voila! Globe is finished!
Check out all of the other neat creations at Jellypark Friends and then be sure to join in the fun!
Happy November 1st everyone. I hope this month brings much love and joy to all of you...
