I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

Growing In Unity Day 3

Welcome to day 3 of my Growing in Unity projects "All Things Owlies"

Below is a tag/ornament created from wood laminate sample chips I got from Home Depot...for FREE!!!


I stamped my Decorate My Life image and watercolored it.

I then added pearl drops to her collar trim and hat trim.  I also added some clear crackle dimension to the heart.  I colored the bell gold using my gel pens and added dots of white with my white gel pen.  After everything was dry I Mod Podged my image and my "winter wonderland" die cuts to the wood chip sample.  I then added some dimensional embellishments after it was dry.

I shredded up my MayArts Ribbon for a different kind of bow.

For the back of these, you can cut out a piece of cardstock and attach it with adhesive of your choice so you can write a message on it or just to cover up the chip description sticker.  It's kind of hard to remove so covering it would be better.

Or you can hang this as a cute ornament for your Christmas tree.  The possibilities are endless.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and it gave you some inspiration.  Don't forget...leave a comment for a chance to win 25 stamps.  TWO random people will win.

Have a great day and rest of your week.

    Very clever idea! Love it, of course. I think I have a few of these wood chips myself (in a box somewhere, just waiting to be used!). And you just gave me the idea for next year's ornaments (that I make for my nieces & nephews every year - this year, I did make them owls - out of pinecones). :-)

    This is awesome, I would have never thought to get the wood chip samples. I usually get all the paint samples in the colors I need gor cards and scrapbooking.
