Welcome to my little place on the web! I just love Holiday shopping---I mean hopping! There is always so much to see and so many gifts for the creativity! I have several projects to share with you, so let's get started!

Happy Hanukkah to all of my Jewish friends! 

1 charger plate from Michaels

MTC Software

Graphic elements

Dreidle: trace 2 at 2"

2. Layer sentiment over background. The sentiment will be printed ONLY, not cut.

PNC (print and cut) background.

3. PNC the dreidels. Glue one dreidle to the card front. 

4. On the other dreidel, cut away the lower left point. 

4. Pop dot the second dreidle to the first, placing the pop dots on the body of the top. Glue dot the point of the remaining spinner to the point of the dreidel on the card. This will give dimension.
