Toot,Toot.......

Good Evening!!!
Well I was tickled when Janiel asked me to join in with her and the
other ladies! As you know I just adore any thing Elisabeth Bell so this is
a treat for me!!!  You are going to love this month's image ~ and
HE is much needed! Yes it is an adorable boy this time!

If you have stumbled here on your own you will want to
go to the Digi Bells Blog to start as I am at the end! If you came
from Lisa's blog than you are on the right track!
You won't want to miss any inspiration from the ladies!
Here is what I did with TOOT TOOT!!!


I know, I know it is spring and WHY am I doing snow and
Christmas???? LOL Well when I seen this image I thought
of the movie Polar Express and thought the little bell in the gift box
would go so cute with the image!!!!


I have distressed this card every way possible!! LOL
I sanded and inked the background paper. Then added
some distress crackle paint and Snow-Tex. That is what
I also used to cover my snowflakes and box.
Here is a close-up of thee adorable image!
I tried to color it in like the Oshkosh ones with the stripes.
I used distress inks and a white gel pen.


And here is just a better shot of the texture and color! Don't know
why I always have to do weird angles to catch that but I promise
I will work on my photography skills! haha


Here is the box that the bell goes into that I covered with
the snow Tex. To get it to cover I just watered it down
a bit and painted it on.


Here is the hop list in case you may need it:
