Joy


 I decided my Grammy could use a little joy for Christmas. She just had knee surgery. I bought it unfinished from this etsy shop here.



The bell came in red and I just left it as is, blemishes and all. The J and Y are covered in sparkly s.e.i. On the Coast patterned paper and then inked.

  4. Could you possibly tell me where you purchased the bell? I've looked all over for them ... especially with the snowflake cut-out. Thanks!!

    1. The etsy shop I purchased it from sent it with the J and Y. I see that she doesn't do that anymore. I have snagged a few from DI too.

  8. Stupid question, what is inked? And how do you do it? TIA

    1. Inking the corners means you use an ink pad lightly just on your paper to give it a more distressed look. :)

    1. In what section did you find the bell? I looked at my HobLob and couldn't find them. Thanks!

    2. Mine came as a set. I have yet to find one the right size either. We don't have an AC Moore around here. I'll have to check again at Hobby Lobby. I keep finding some that are almost big enough. Almost. :)

    3. I found a really big red jingle bell at Target yesterday in with the new Christmas ornament displays. It looks like it should work once bow and base are added. :)

  16. So cute, what is the base made out of. I see that someone asked about the bell and you got it with your letters from the etsy shop, you said that you also were ablt to get some from DI- what is DI?? Also, the scrapbook paper, ribbon, everything is just perfect. Is the scrapbook paper from a store or on line?? Thanks for sharing....
