Here is what I have made to share with you...
I used a template from Creations by AR to create this votive candle holder. The image is from The Stamping Boutique from the Snowfriends image. The whole image was too big, so I cut the center snowman and used him. I colored the image with BIC Markits. I punched the snowflakes with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch. The DP on the roof and snowflakes is from The Paper Studio.
Here's a view from one of the other sides.
I also made this little notebook as a Secret Santa gift...
I used the Windmill image from The Stamping Boutique. I colored the image with BIC Markits. The DP is from Color Bok. The sticker is from my stash.
Next stop by Stacie's blog, to see what she has in store for you today.
