Looking Through a New Window

I wanted to play with this challenge ALL last week,

but just couldn't seem to get it done.

So I am very happy to have completed my project

and am quickly going to get it posted over there  : )

Little Red Wagon's challenge this week

'Put a Window in it'

I knew exactly what I wanted to use for this

unique and fun challenge.

  I love these chipboard embellishments from

Tattered Angels and thought it would put a

'twist' on the challenge.

There is most definitely a 'window'

in this distressed and layered card.

I used wonderful Tim Holtz/SA

stamps for the flourishes and butterfly.

The sentiment is from My Sentiments Exactly.

I'm sure you recognize all the Prima going on!

I am also entering this card over at...

Totally Gorjuss
#31 - 'Bling'

Flutter By Wednesday
 #110 - flower & butterfly

Stampin' Sisters in Christ
#40 - Distressing

I hope you enjoy it and I hope it inspires you

to 'think outside' the window  : )

Many Thanks...I'm Honored!

What a wonderful surprise!

When I returned home from

my trip to St. Paul, I 

received two lovely messages.

The first was from

Our Creative Corner.

I won a fabulous 

$25 gift certificate to

I {heart} papers

YAY!

It was for this little creation...

You can read my original post HERE.

The other was from

KL Stampin' and Scrappin'.

I made the Top 3 for this...

I know many of you LoVeD

this card...you can see how it

was made HERE.

I think it's always nice to share when

a challenge (or two) works out and

indeed, these did for me!

Thanks to all the challenges out there

who help get our creative juices flowing!
