2012 Christmas Card Challenge Week #26

Greetings!

It's time for another Christmas Card challenge!  I have a short post for you today, as I'm getting ready to BBQ and hangout by the pool, with a friend.  This weeks challenge is Bling.  For all of the details, click HERE. 

This is my very first one layer card.  I used masking tape around the edges, so that I'd have the framed look.  I used my distress inks for the emboss resist technique I wanted to try.  The sentiment was embossed as well.  I have to say, this turned out better than I expected.  I love it!  I've combined the following challenges in my card as well.

Drunken Stampers #89 - There Can Only Be One (one layered cards)
Sketchbook Saturday #61 - Sketch (my loose interpretation of it anyway)
Crazy 4 Challenges #138 - One Layer
Marks Finest Papers #109 - Emboss Your Main Image
52 Christmas Card Throwdown #5 - Embossing

I hope you all are having a wonderful, and safe, holiday weekend!
Hugs!

Creative Belli Challenge #144

Hi ya'll!

It's time for another Creative Belli challenge!  I love these challenges.  Having to remember to use the stuff I absolutely HAD to have, and then forgetting I had them is very helpful.  This challenge is weddings.  For all of the details, click HERE.

I had a friend pick the colors for me, and this is what he chose.  Pink and chocolate always go well together, so it wasn't hard to get this card to work out.  I used THIS sketch, and love my card.  The flower, lace and chocolate ribbon have all been in my possession for over a year.  I'm glad I finally got to use some of it.  I don't know anyone who's getting married anytime soon, but at least I have a card for the box, just in case.

I do hope you'll head over to the Belli blog to see what projects the other designers have put together for you.  Beautiful stuff!!

Hugs!

Use It Tuesday Challenge #32

Hello hello!

It's time for another Use It Tuesday challenge!  I'm loving these challenges, as they force me to use my forgotten, and hoarded stash.  The challenge is to use two hoarded items.  For all of the details, click HERE.

This card was made for some friends of mine.  I like how it turned out, even if it doesn't have a ton of stuff on it.  I think it's a cute idea, and I hope they like it.  My two hoarded items are the black and white alpha stickers, and the Nestabilities that I used to cut down the maps.  I've had both of these in my stash for over two years.  The arrow sticker has also been in my possession for at least that long, and this is the first time it's seen ink. 

I do hope you'll head over to the UIT blog to see what everyone else has created.  They're pretty cool!

Hugs!
