Fusion and Little Tangles

Here is another challenge card I made.

This card is for the

Fusion Challenge

and

Little Tangles Challenge

My card:

I'm not normally a huge fan of orange, but I kinda like this.

I used some stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop called Triangle Style,

love how well it inked up for me!  Plus my big ole Ink Splash from Neat and Tangled.  The sequins are also from Neat and Tangled.

I appreciate you stopping by the blog, and always enjoy reading your comments.

Stay warm out there people! The weather in the US is crazy!

Paper Crafters Library

Is it seriously December 19th???  For real??

It seems like yesterday when I got an email from Andrea at the

Paper Crafter's Library

 inviting me to be a

Featured Artist/Designer.

Of course, my response was -

UMMMM, YEH!!!

I'm so very honored to be on their blog

today.  Go check it out, they have

featured some extremely talented artists.

Here are the cards I decided to make for today:

I used my new stamps from the

Sweet Stamp Shop!
This set is called Press it Wash it!
Don't ya love these adorable images? 

It's hard to see, but I used rhinestones for the knobs on 
this adorable little washing machine.  Who doesn't want
rhinestones on their washer? Look at the cute little
smile in there too!  :)

Who in their right mind wouldn't want a pink

vacuum?  Might make it more enjoyable if they

were pink!

Supplies:  Papertrey Ink white cardstock, Stamps from Sweet Stamp Shop called Press it Wash it, Versafine black ink, sequins, twine, Stampin Up designer paper, Echo Park Love Story designer paper, and rhinestones.

Thanks so very much for stopping by today!
I appreciate all of the wonderful comments I receive
here on my blog!

Moxie Fab Thanks Blog Hop!

There is a HUGE blog hop going on today to

 wish the best of luck to Cath Edvalson, and

to say thank you.

Cath has been such an inspiration to so many people

in the papercrafting industry, it's truly sad to know

that she is leaving.  However, this isn't goodbye,

it's just a "see ya later!"  

We know she'll still be out in blogland.

What an honor it is to be a part of something like this!

So, get a beverage, sit back, and prepare to be

amazed at the talent you will see on this hop.

You should have arrived here from -

Michelle Bala

my card -

I did some paper piecing on this one, and

then added a bit of sparkle with my jelly

roll pen.  Kind of feels "cindarella-ey!"
