Bloggers Challenge - Sympathy

At Bloggers Challenge, its "to die for" and boy did I use the dies on this card today! I have the Tasteful Trim (scallop), Butterflies and the Petal Cone (glimmer). I also used the Stripes embosslit for the Big Shot as well.  I added the rhinestones for some extra bling and quick sentiment - then wah laa...  card completed! 

  

I loved the color challenge from Just Add Ink, so elegant! 

I tried pictures numerous ways

Bloggers Challenge- BLING IT ON

Its a big year in the house again... Daughter turns 16 an Son turns 18.. and I think to myself, where did time go?? I know I am not old enough for this.. but its true!

  

Therefore, we have many teens that are turning 16! One as early as May 3, which happens to be another special day in the house, as 1SG and I are getting married. This is why I better get a handle on some of these birthdays and cards!

Todays card goes to a young lady whose celebration is PARIS inspired, with black & pink. 

 

Bloggers Challenge is BLING IT ON, which actually the challenge is what inspired me to get a handle on the handful of Sweet 16's we have coming up in the next few months!  The card is 4 x 9, a size I rarely ever make.

Fab 40!

January has some BIG birthdays to celebrate. 

I used the glimmer paper and popped on milestone in different colors for the ladies! ... oops!  I love the little banner at the top with the rhinestones too! Just an added bonus of bling!  

 

 I used the Friday Mashup challenge of Birthday, didn't get brads on this project but there still is time!

Evergreen - PDCC150

The leaves are starting to change around here, as I look up at the mountain ridge. Its a great time of year! We've had a few crispy mornings over the weekend. Must mean it really is Autumn outside! I headed out to some fall festivals yesterday with a friend. Hit up some yard sales on the way home as well. It was definately time well spent.

 

 

With it being fall, I must get a move on a few more Christmas cards.  I was trying to get about 5 a month, during the summer and made 1.. period!!! So now I really must bust thru some. 

 

I used the Playdate Cafe colors to push me through some not so traditional ones. Using the new Evergreen, was helpful since it has a sentiment with it.

 

 I used the Apothecary framelits to cut out the tree, and then used the new Scalloped Tulle for a bow at the base of the tree. I used some Glimmer paper with the scallopped Trim (Tasteful Trim - Big Shot) on the sides.
