Time for a New Try It Out Tuesday!!

Good morning!!! We have a fun and challenging Try It Out Tuesday for you this week:o) This week's theme is Table Time!!! In all honesty, I had no idea what I was going to make for this...and this challenge terrified me!!! I am a very simple person in real life...I suppose my interior decorating style is the minimalist approach. I don't like lots of stuff on my walls and not one to have very many knick-knacks...just the bare necessities. Call it the OCD in me shining through in all its glory. So, when we were asked to create decor to be placed upon the dinner table/coffee table, I literally went into a state of panic!! My dinner table has a bowl of fruit on it and four placemats; my coffee table has the universal remote and occasionally my laptop...no inspiration in those places. I finally decided to create some fun items with the Glass Etching technique from SCS. I have uploaded a bunch of photos, but it was extremely difficult to capture a decent photo...especially since I am no photographer. Hahaha! I hope you will be able to get a general idea of this week's projects. So sorry for the bad, bad pictures!

Here are two, simple ornaments. The clear one was actually red when I started; but as I was scraping the embossed design off, the red coloring came off right along with it. I had no idea it wasn't really red glass! Talk about a major bummer! Oh well, it'll have to do;o) For the clear ornament, I used the sweet stamp Kringlet; and for the green ornament, I used the precious stamps Santa and Friends.

Here is the candy dish. I used the fabulous snowflakes from Winter Wonderland by Victoria Case for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. These darling snowflakes are part of the complete set and cannot be purchased separately.

Since most of my Christmas gifts are baked goods, I thought it would be cool to etch a glass plate. This way, I have a one-of-a-kind holiday themed serving dish to put the cookies, breads, cakes, and/or brownies on, and it doesn't hurt my holiday budget. The plate was purchased for $1 at the Dollar Tree. The recipient can reuse it if they wish, but it won't hurt my feelings too badly if it were thrown in the bottom of a cabinet never to be seen again.

Well, that about does it for me!! I hope your Tuesday is spectacular!!!! Thanks for stopping by and sharing a part of it with me:o)

Hugs!!!
