Birthday Window View

This week at Joan's Garden there's a new challenge. I want to thank Joan for choosing me for one of the prizes from last week's challenge. Can't wait to play with my new goodies. For this week's challenge you need to use snow or snowflakes; make sure there is white on your card; do some chalking; and create a window look.

My card is a white card stock base. I used red and green card stock for my background colors. The window scene is from a recycled Christmas card. I added the tag and accented the tag with green, punched a hole and added the ribbon. The sentiment is from Gina K Versatile Verses. Then glittered the snowflakes and added them to the card. I added the self-adhesive rhinestones to the bottom corner. I think this is Joan's last challenge for 2010 so you won't want to miss this one.

This scene may materialize outside my window by the end of this week. We already have snow on the ground but we have more coming. I usually don't worry about the snow but when they say freezing rain I start to worry a bit. I hate freezing rain. I hope whatever your weather is you are safe and warm. Have a wonderful rest of your week.

Sorry this is so quick. Too much to do and so little time this week. Hope you had a fabulous Monday and that your week continues the same way. Thanks for stopping by.

Pretty in Pink

Happy Monday to you all. I have some exciting news! Yesterday I was  the guest designer for Digital Delights by Louby Loo. You can see the cards I created by clicking on the link. Thank you Wendy for the chance to show off my cards using your fun digital images.

Now onto today's creation. Joan's Garden has a fun challenge this week: make a pink and white card, and be sure you have 4 corners punched preferably with a Martha Stewart Punch. And the prize this week is a Martha Stewart punch. I obviously need that punch because I only have Martha Stewart border punches and no corners. LOL! So I improvised and used my border punches to come up with this unusual card!

 I punched the flower border twice on each corner but I didn't have enough room to do all four corners. So I took my Martha Stewart butterfly punch and punched the other two corners. It's definitely a different look. I still haven't decided if I like it or not.

Other details:
Stamps: Versatile Verses (Gina K)
Spellbinder Shapeabilities: punch pin crepe paper background 
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Up! Rose
Punches: Martha Stewart Butterfly and Flower Scalloped punches
Embellishments: Various sizes and makes of flowers


Thanks for stopping today. Pop on over to Joan's Garden and check out Challenge #9. Have a great week!
