A Double Challenge Card

This is a double challenge card from over at SCS. I loved yesterdays color challenge but just never got around to playing last night. It was just one of those days and when I got home, I zonked out. In fact, I almost fell asleep while getting my hair cut!!!

So when I saw todays sketch....this vision appeared in my head immediately. Now....I don't normally picture things in my mind before I make them. Normally they way I'm wired is.....I see a challenge, and I just run with it, and what you get is what you get. Not today though! And the best thing, is that this is exactly how it was in my mind!!! I used tons of layers on this and love how it turned out.

Ok, so I totally had to try and get a close up of all these layers.....aren't they luscious???

Gina K Designs Customer Blog Hop

Well how cool is that? Gina K is having a customer blog hop! All you gotta do is make a project/card with one of her newest releases and link it to her blog....and you are good to go. I decided to try something a little different tonight....so I pulled out a frame I had gotten at the Dollar Tree....hope you like! I used the Festive Frame set, colored with copics, cut it out, matted it a little, and viola! Other than my crappy picture...it doesn't look too bad.

Unity Friday!

Today is another Friends With Flair Friday over at Unity. Make sure to check out all of the blogs for your chance to win some Unity stamps!

I knew I wanted to make a Christmas card for todays post, and I knew I wanted to use some of my new Jolly by Golly Cosmo Cricket paper from over at Limelight.

So I stamped the poinsettia from Hodge Podge of Happiness, and then cut it out. Next, I glued it onto a piece of black paper and then cut that out, leaving a very small amount of black around the flower. I then wanted to emboss it, so using my versafine pad, and some clear embossing powder, I got it all ready to emboss and fired up the heat gun. What happened next had me puzzled for a few minutes....because it was turning fuzzy and falling off instead of melting like it should have. So as I assessed the situation and tried to figure out what in the world made my embossing powder fuzzy.....it was then that I realized I was trying to emboss glitter!!! Sooooo....I brushed off my fuzziness, and tried again...this time actually using embossing powder. This time it worked, and I hope you enjoy my card.

Friends With Flair

Ahhhh....its Friday again. The end of the work week, and Friends with Flair over at Unity!!! Check out the Unity blog for the entire list of participants....someone will have a blinkie posted and you could win a ton of Unity rubber. Well ok....maybe not a ton, but you know what I mean.

This card was extremely quick and easy to make. I have lots of cleaning to do, so I needed something quick and easy. I love the rustic white c/s from PTI! I used that, along with some Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg dp that I just got.
