Glitter! Glitter! Glitter!

Hey everyone!! Did you have a good Saturday?? Had a full day at the spa today.. My weekend starts tomorrow! Wee!!! :)

When I saw Everything But The Kitchen Sink's Around The House challenge earlier this week, I knew I had to play. I got my notepad and started drawing out how I wanted to do it. Four pages and a couple of days later (HA!), I decided on making a Christmas card using pink as the main color. I couldn't decide on a sketch so, I went through my blog list today and a card by Ms LeAnne at Wee Inklings caught my eye! (She's such an inspiration. Check her out, if you haven't!) It was a card for Just Us Girls Challenge. I immediately loved the sketch! :)

I used two ornaments from TPC Studio's Christmas Glamour stamp set. I stamped them on a piece of cardstock, cut them out, measured and cut the toothpicks to follow the contours and laid them onto the image with repositionable adhesive. I then laid Terrifically Tacky Tape on top of the toothpicks and adhered them onto the cardfront. I peeled off the cardstock, layered some glue on the toothpick ornaments and glittered away! I think I may have fallen in love with glitter! Weee!!! :)

Thanks for looking! I hope this card makes you smile! :) :) Leave a comment. I love reading them!! :)

My girly blinged out reindeer!

Happy Thursday everyone!

I have a semi-full day at work today and so I thought I'd sneak this post in before I get too exhausted to do so when I get home tonight. Today's card is my take on Ms Mercy's Tuesday Sketch and this week's Color Throwdown! :) I'm thinking of changing things up a bit by combining two other challenges because so far, I've been combining Ms Mercy's sketch with CTD.. Maybe next week... Weee!!! Love these challenges!!!

I love this reindeer image! I stamped *her* onto PTI Sweet Blush, paper pieced her cute little nose with Pure Poppy and blinged her out! Wee! :) I hope you enjoy it! :)

Thanks for looking! Have a great rest of the week! :)

Mojo Monday 115

Hey everyone!

I am a couple of days late with my Mojo Monday card. I have to admit, I was starting to feel quite discouraged by all these cards I've been making. It started to feel like I was wasting ... supplies? Does anyone feel like this? *sigh*

I am quite happy about how this card turned out, though. I may actually make a few more exactly like it. :) I hope you have a great week and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! Weee!!! :)


Show me some love! :) :) :)
