I think it was back in October when we went to Target I saw these sleds in the front of the store and immediately thought they would make some neat presents for my friends. I even had an idea for how to decorate them.
The first is for my friend that always hopes for snow, she loves it and figures if it is going to be cold it might as well snow. I cut the let it snow image with my Silhouette cameo. Used dies for the pine boughs, I cut those from sheets that I had dipped in Distressed inks that I had watered down and dried between layers. I used some of the Flora craft brand Diamond Dust to look like snow in the Boughs. The big and little snowflakes at the top are from Gemini dies.
I don't know if this will work or not so let me know if you can view it or not but I tried to take a video of the shimmer that the Diamond Dust gives, you can only appreciate it in person.
My next one I went with a different image also cut on my silhouette, this time I used berries with the pines and went with a white bow.
My other girlfriend ended up moving away shortly after I bought these so I made the last one for myself. This one had two deer in it, I have it hanging by my front door.
I had fun making these and I haven't cut with my silhouette in a long time, I was pretty thrilled that these turned out so well. I tried cutting more things for cards and they didn't turn out so well so I just quit, maybe another day.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, cross your fingers we may see the sun peeking out tomorrow, I may have to run out and soak as much of it up as I can, LOL!

These are really cute! Thanks for sharing!
Connie, these are fabulous! I so wish I'd seen these sled the last time I went to Target. What wonderful gifts! Your video worked perfectly!
WOW what a clever lady you are! These are beautiful and what wonderful gifts! Well done!
You fixed these up so cute, Connie! I love the idea of having one hanging by the front door for winter. So pretty! Your video did not play for me. I don't know why it would play for one and not the other, but computers and programs are finicky and mysterious.
Oh those are FUN! They make such beautiful gifts! Love how you decorated each one! Yes, the video works! Sparkly....really cool!
These are lovely Connie, and yes, the video worked well.
All the best Jan

Oh wow! How amazing are the sleds decorated with your clever pretties. Thank you for making the little video clip as it gave me an understanding of the intricacy of the leaves, the snowflakes, and yes, the shimmer. Goodness me you have a clever and fabulous imagination, Connie!
