Today at Catch the Bug it's a New Release or an older image has been put into the new store and today we have Snowman Cocoa.  And for my sentiment comes from TLC, Create.  I made two copies of the image and used foam dots to put the second layer on top to give it depth. I used a pom on the hat.

Have a Ginger Good Holiday

I made a Christmas card using an image from Polkadoodles called Baked with Love and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I put two dies in the corners from Amy Designs that have poinsettias.  Then the Spellbinder has an embossed center with ivy.  The bottom has some holly leaves from Spellbinders.  I love Gingerbread cookies so can't wait for the holiday season for a few.

Jolly Tag

Catch the Bug has the Holiday Chaos which day 3 is to have a tag with red and white stripes.  So I colored this adorable bear on a candy cane image called Christmas bear - bear with candy cane.  I added some stickles on his hat and a pom.  The sentiment is a sticker.  The base of the tag is from the $3 area at Target.  I truly bought the tags because I wanted the container from Target, hehe.
