Give It To Me, Baby!!

Wow, can y'all believe that Christmas has come...and gone??? Zip, POW! What a whirlwind this holiday has been. I sincerely hope that everyone had a joyful holiday--whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule or Boxing Day.

Speaking of Boxing Day... I just don't get Boxing Day. I mean, I put an empty box out on my living room table on Boxing Day eve; danced around the room with a box on my head singing "The Boxer"....and come morning...that box I put out was still EMPTY. I tell ya, it has COMPLETELY destroyed my belief in the Boxing Day Fairy.

On to the business at hand! It's the last Wednesday of the month which means it's time for Bombshell Stamps monthly BLOG HOP!!! YIPPEEE! This month's theme, devised by Miss Alison, is "Give It To Me, Baby!" --translated that means we have been directed to make anything BUT a card with our Bombshell Stamps...to give away as a gift to someone else! This means frames, jewelry, decorative pieces, nick-nacks, whosits, whatnots, even fancy boxes (I still don't get Boxing Day)...ANYTHING as long as it is not, Not, NOT a card. And, as always, there is a prize for one lucky hopper!!! Just leave comments on everyone's blog for a chance to WIN!!!

So, if you hopped over here from Mary's blog...you have landed in the right place. If not, or if you get lost...just click on the link below and start at the Bombshell site. You won't want to miss any of these FaBuLoUs creations!

So, here is my project (better late, than not at all!) I created a wreath (of sorts) using the Bombshell Angel stamp set and the Butterfly Queen set. It's my take on Ying/Yang--spicy/sweet, steamy/frosty, naughty/nice. This was SO MUCH FUN to make! Well, sort of fun...the scoring was kind of a pain...but, I am now a PRO scorer. Score, score, score, score, score. I had fun dressing up the girls. I TOTALLY stole the rosette wreath idea from my bestee, Jodi...you can see her version HERE-- what can I say...she inspires me. <3
