Back In Business!

After a long break... I guess long is an understatement.. After a: extra long extensive MIA period
I'm back in business.
and man does it feel good!


Once again Ladies and Gents, Its that time of year again:

The smell of Cinnamon as you enter the stores
mad house
head aches
gas lights
decorations
pine trees
Rudolf
and EVERY radio station is nothing but Christmas tunes..
... Yeah that about sums it up.

Now I'm sure all of you have been frantically shopping for the fam and friends, decorating the house and constantly checking the bank account.

well stop.

I teamed up with Bambi last night, and we made quite the decor for under 20 bones
this is the first decoration I have up for the season.. don't judge me. I'm doing better than last year by a whole week!

I was first inspired by Bambie's brother...



Isn't he a stud!? ...
well..
I'm sure you've all seen on pinterest, facebook, and other blogs the
"reindeer silhouette"
I give credit to all of them.

It literally takes 10 min guys, do it.

However my advice to you is not to attempt to draw Bambie's brother (seen above)
We did NOT get along.

If you think you can take him on.. by all means, go for it.

all the supplies you need are:

1. Canvas $3 (currently on sale at Micheal's, I stocked up)
 
2. Elmers Glue $1


3. Glitter! $4, this is the best part of this project
Choose whatever color you want.

and of course your reindeer wither it be Bambies brother or any other member of his family... a silhouette is all we're goin for here.. it doesn't need to be a masterpiece.

I'll prove it.

This is the glue and glitter in process, if you look close you'll see Bambi and I had a rough go, especially around the ear...
yikes..
that's kinda embarrassing now that i look at it.

You get it right?

Step1: Draw up your own personal Bambi friend/ or you can trace

Step2: Line the Elmers glue around your tracing, Make sure you put it a little bit outside your pen/pencil markings so it doesn't show in the finished project. 

Step3: Pour a good amount of glitter throughout the picture, I did the glitter and glue in sections so that the glue didn't dry before I started glittering.

Continue step 2 and 3 until finished.

AND!!!..... (Que the music)

Buuuut dooo youuu recalllllll the most fammmmousss reeiinnndeerrr offfffff alllllll

No.. he's not Rudolf but he's pretty famous in my eyes.
and he looks A LOT better than I do.
its fine.
Good Luck Guys!!! Let me know how it goes!!!

I'm proud to announce:

I've cracked open these babies again... Stay tuned


Looking forward to sharing what this pile turns out to be!


xoxo!
