My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 25

Hi Everyone,

So here we are at the last project of my 25 Days of Christmas Challenge.  It was a long climb but I got there.  Here is my last project.  A card made with non-traditional Christmas colors, pink and blue.

 Can you see all the sparkle in this card?

I am so please with how this card came out. I love the sparkle, the colors, the image that is so adorable!  I love this card!

What I used..
~Recollections card stock
~Recollections Christmas stamps
~Recollections bling
~Studio G brown ink
~Shabby Treasures white paper roses (I inked them with the pink)
~Offray Ribbon
~"Snowman 2" digital image from simplyinger.blogspot.com
~DecoArt Twinkles

Whew!!  What a challenge this was.  I am happy it's over but sad that it's over at the same time.  None-the-less I am glad I challenged myself.  Well ya'll, thanks for stopping by and spending this time with me.  Feel free to comment, I love to know what you think of the projects.

So until next time..

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 24

Welcome everyone,

So today is a project that I started on my Day 5 project and needed your help finishing the card.  The advice I got from Sandy O of Paper Transformer was a great idea.  She suggested " Hmmm...I think this is really pretty as is. The only thing I would add is some shine or sparkle to the bulbs on the tree. Mybe your pretty gold pen you used on your other card would look pretty on the garland and around the edges of the die cut. But it REALLY is pretty as is."   Here is the final card.

I added red DecoArt Twinkles to the balls on the tree and the bows on the presents.  Then brought out the garland with a gold glitter gel pen.  I also decided to re-ink the edge in green to take away some of the white.

On the inside I added four red snowflakes for some more color.

I used the iridescent DecoArt Twinkles again, like I did for the snow, for the present on the left.  I LOVE the sparkle on this card!!  Thank you Sandy for great suggestions!

Just one more project to go everyone.  I am excited! Thanks for stopping by today and I will see in the next blog!

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 11

Hi Everyone,

My day 11 project is based on a swap that I am hosting on Scraps of Color.  The Shared Christmas Mini Swap consists of 4 groups of 4 people who will create a mini scrapbook page, out of 8x8 chipboard, for each member of the group including themselves. The theme is Christmas and the style - vintage, non/traditional - is up to the designer.  There also had to be a minimum of 2 tags for journaling.  Since I am not just the host but a participant, here are my pages for my group members.

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 6

Hi Again Everybody!!

Wow Day 6 and I am on a roll and getting into the swing of things.  I think I am really liking my Day 6 card the most.  I love swirls/flourish and flowers and bling/glitter together in any combination or arrangement.  So here is my card.

The paper had the design on it originally and what I did was to add the sheer ivory and maroon ribbon. The I stamped the gift box in brown ink onto tan card stock, adhered two layers of foam tape on the back and placed the image over the knot.  I added the pearls one by one in the swirl pattern; with a gold glitter pen I outlined some of the flourish and drew on the gold corners, then I added the silk flowers.

Lastly, I colored in the holly on the image added some more gold accents to the present.  All in all I am very happy with the end result.

What I used:

-Champagne flat back pearls

-Ivory and Maroon sheer ribbon

-Gold glitter pen

-Silk flowers

-Studio G image

-Studio G brown ink

Thanks for stopping by for Day 6 and I will see you back again tomorrow on Day 7.  Have a great day!!!
