Taking on a Challenge...or Two...or Three?

It's Wednesday....a full week into the month of 

December and it's gone by quickly, hasn't it?!

I have been 'hooked' on making Christmas cards

this year.  I don't know if it's because I stocked up

on sooooo many of the new holiday collections

this past fall or what?!

I just know that I am going to be offering most of

my new cards in my Etsy shop because I will have

an abundance!

I have My Mind's Eye and Fancy Pants Designs to thank

for parts of this elegant greeting.  I embellished a bit with

lots of bling

from The Paper Studio, Recollections and Stickles.

Oh...that punch on the blue panel?

It's a cool 'Radiant Circle' from EK Success.

I just randomly punched it and I think it added

a lot of depth, don't you?

I thought I would offer these to the following challenges:

There She Goes #84 ~ Bring on the Bling

City Crafter #34 ~ Let it Snow
Sunday Stampers #132 ~ Wonderful Christmastime

Little Red Wagon #58 ~ Use a Die Cut
Simon Says Stamp & Show ~ Holiday Greeting

I LoVe this quote and I LoVe this card

from Fancy Pants Designs 'Christmas Magic'

Collection.  I find all of their cards so versatile.

The DP on the base is from the 'Merry Days of Christmas'

Collection and the holly die cut is from 'Holly Jolly' set

both from My Mind's Eye.

I am a huge fan of those very 'luxe' sequins that I find

in the $1.99 bins at Archiver's, so the last time I was

there, I picked up several colors.  They made

terrific berries for the holly.

It's not as easy to see, but I added

stardust Stickles around the edges of the

holly and on the card around the heart gem.

I love that this card fits these FAB challenges:

The Color Throwdown #122

The Color Dare #88

Red, Olive, Neutral of Choice

There She Goes #84

Bring on the Bling

So happy to have had a chance to share these with

you today!  I will be back at midnight tonight with a

fab new challenge from 

See you soon!
