Christmas Ornaments for my Boys!

Hello everyone and Happy Black Friday to you!
Are you one of those brave souls who ventures out into all the craziness for wonderful bargains?  Not me!  The older I get, the less I can tolerate the crowds, noise and confusion!  I've already got a lot of my Christmas shopping completed and hope to finish it up next week after some of the craziness has passed!  So, my Black Friday will be spent between decorating the house and crafting Christmas goodies...my kind of day!

Well, it's not only Black Friday, it's time for another challenge over at the Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge Blog!  This week's challenge (#47) is my favorite kind of challenge....
"Anything Goes"!
I decided to work on some Christmas ornaments for my grandsons Blake and Brayden...
Recipe:
* I started with some cute unfinished wooden sleds I found at Michael's
* I painted the sleds in fun Christmas colors, then once dry, I covered with with Crackle Paint in "Clear Rock Candy" - this gives them an icy, frosted look
* The cute teddies are from the Cricut cartridge "Teddy Bear Parade" - cut at 4.25 inches


* The letters are from "Kate's ABCs" cartridge
* I used lots of glitter on the white, furry area of Santa's suit, the belt buckle and gift ribbon
* Twine and a jingle bell finish off these sweet ornaments


And, here's the side view.  I think you can see the "icy" effect a bit better in this photo...


Here are the details for this week's challenge...

    The personalized sled ornaments are adorable. Like the jingle bells added. I recently bought Teddy Bear Parade Cricut cartridge and made one, Turkey, and will be making more now that I see some cute ones like yours.
