A Winter Wonderland Blog hop and a giveaway and an unveiling!!

Last things first.

Check out my blog re-design! Unless you're my mom or......my mom, you probably don't come here often enough to detect the change, so I'm pointing it out for you. Isn't it pretty?? My daughter did it for me from about 5000 miles away cuz she's totally awesome like that!! She didn't once complain when I asked her to change one thing or another. (No, try this shade. No, I like the last one better. Wait, can you go back to the first one you tried? And now can you...)

You can check out her work here. She's not only cute and stylin' but a FAB Photog as well!

Now, then.

Welcome to My Little Shoebox's Winter Wonderland blog hop!! You should have arrived here from sweet Erin's blog, but if you just happened along randomly you'll want to go here and start at the beginning so you don't miss anything!!

I live in Arizona now, but once I lived most of my life in the Great White North, aka Canada. Now that I don't have to shovel anything but sunshine I can enjoy the season ever so much more!! And the icing on THAT piece of cake, is this new My Little Shoebox line, Winter Wonderland!! The colors and patterns are SO awesome to work with; a little different than the traditional and that's part of what makes it so fun! And the die-cut stickers and the co-branded Unity stamps that complete the set are SO fun!! And if you were looking for some of your own, you came to the right place! Leave a comment and 2 names will be randomly drawn to win the collection for your own! That announcement will be made on the MLS blog on Tues, Nov 22.

So here's a sampling of what I've already made with this line.

This one has modeling paste applied to the snow line on the paper and then Martha Stewart crystal snow stuck to it. I like it, but not as much as

this one where I used Crystal Lacquer and sprinkled another Martha Stewart sparkly snow product on it. It dried clear and looks kinda pretty! If I do say so myself.

And here's a gift tag I made with the snowman stamp from the Winter Wonderland stamp set. Does he not just melt your heart?

Oh look!! Here's a bunch of them! If one is cute, 8 has got to be awesome right?!

You like?

You want?

Ok, leave a comment and I'll try and pull YOUR name out of the hat to send you a set of 8 snowmen gift tags. That ought to lighten your seasonal task list a little, right?

Now back to the administration side of things. Your next stop will be Becky's blog. If there should be a kink in the chain and you get lost, here's the list to follow.
