Mittens, Mittens

That's definitely what we need to have in Michigan right now:  mittens!  It has been bitterly cold this week.

For this last CCEE Stampers challenge in December (we're taking a break for the holidays), I challenged my team mates to use a mitten(s) in their card/project design.



Aren't these mitten Nestabilities darling?  I had ordered the dies, but the company was currently out, so my good friend, Tosha, sent a bunch to me.  Thanks, Tosh!  I adhered styrofoam flakes (I rub two styrofoam balls together) for the fur on the mitten cuffs, as well as a snowflake punch centered with an olive brad.

The white background was embossed with the large polkadots embossing folder.  I cut 1/4" strips of red and olive cardstock and glued them on an angle over the white panel.   The sentiment is by Rubbernecker.

Please stop by our CCEE Stampers blog to check out the challenge details, play along with us, and see what my team mates, Shirley, Joanne, Tosha, Frances, and Cindy have made!

Have a wonderful day!

Ms. Charlene,your mittens are fabulous.....and I agree with your opinion about those dies....they are fab....of course I 'cheated' a bit and use a stamp made for them...but your mittens are so creatively made and all with your own efforts...kudos, my friend...a fun challenge
