- Christmas ornament-Cloud9designs(Fiskars)
- Stripe-Christmas Magic by Nancie Rowe-Janitz
- Dark Green cardstock-DCWV
- Holly print paper-Flair Designs Merry Little Christmas Collection
The ornament on this card was cut from Cricut's Joy of the Season cartridge. The holly cut outs of the ornament inspired my patterned paper choice, with the holly print, it was the perfect paper to go on this card. The berry embellishments are Crimson Pearls from Queen & Co. I added a simple gold cording bow.
The sentiment stamped on this card is from Hampton Arts. It also seemed to fit just perfect for the holly theme of this card. I used Colorbox Chalk Ink in Chestnut roan and colored in the holly with Copics.

Project Tuesday Shaker Card/SASSC36
(http://hogwildaboutstamping.blogspot.com/). She's just a genius to figure out how to make this stuff and even color it. Thanks, Holly! I thought the little snowball fringe would be the perfect embellishment around my snowman window. The snowflakes came from Cricut's Don Juan cartridge. I added a small bow with a star in the center to finish this card off. This card will go to my 3 year old granddaughter Payton. I made her new baby sister a blue polar bear card a couple days ago (see post below). I didn't want Payton to be jealous of Paige's fuzzy (fun flock) card. I thought she would enjoy shaking the snow around on this card.

- Charisma Cardz-Distressing (all paper edges distressed with ink)
- Cute Card Thursday-Spookfest
Whew! Never did this many challenges for one card. Good thing my visiting adult children went off to see the Red Wings hockey game tonight. I needed the peace and quiet to think of all this stuff. My old stash of Halloween paper from last year's Debbie Mumm collection had this orange, black and purple stripe and the black and purple print behind the stripe. Perfect for the Squigglefly challenge and the witch digital image from them. I colored her with my Copics and added glitter to her hat, mounted it on light orange cardstock and trimmed around it. Then I mounted her onto my black scalloped square that I cut from my Nesties. The scalloped squares are for the Creative Card Crew Challenge (http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/). Also used the Nesties for the sentiment scalloped square. Charisma Cardz(http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.com/) asked for distressing so I used ink to distress all the edges of my papers. My papers are all dark colors to fit the Papertake Weekly (http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/) challenge.
It was hard picking one favorite embellishment for the challenge at PaperPlay (http://paperplaychallenges.blogspot.com/), but I love to use buttons so that's what I chose.
