Winter White

White on White - The new challenge at Alphabet Challenge Blog is W for Winter White. You can not use any color at all on this one. Not even skin tones or hair color, so it was really a challenge for me.

My image is a Christmas tree (SU) that was heat embossed with SU dazzling diamonds embossing powder. I then fussy cut the image. I know it is hard to see.

The embossing folder is also SU.

The brads were made also using the Dazzling Diamonds embossing powder and plain office supply brads.

The bow was tied with my Bow Easy.

Chaos at Christmas

Chaos at Christmas - The challenge at Craft 4 Eternity is Christmas Chaos and I think this card and my life reflect that very well. Christmas is almost upon us and boy, does my life feel pleasantly chaotic.

My image is Digi Doodles. I colored it with Copics I then stamped it with a snowflake stamp all around the edges. I added some tinsel glitter to the garland and used my Spica pens on the lights and ornaments. I added some Stickles to the snowflakes.

My flowers are Prima and sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The pearls are from a garland and the leaf is SU. A gemstone was used in the center of each flower.

My papers are K and Company, Evergreen. This week's Crafts 4 Eternity challenge  is sponsored by Crafts 4 Eternity. They have some yummy things in their shop and I hope that you will stop by and see them.

Pearls and Swirls

Pearls and Swirls -  This fortnight our challenge at Creative Card Crew is Pearls and Swirls. I have had these Inkadinkado swirly, Christmas images for several years without using them very much, so and now was my chance!

We are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp, where you can find many of the products that I used on this card.
My DP is from The Paper Studio's Holiday Wonder. I loved the teals in this paper pack.

My image is Inkadinkado's. They have a series of Christmas images with swirls. I think I bought all of them. I really like how elegant they look.

I stamped my image with The Rubber Cafe's glue and then rubbed on their Hunter's Green glitter.

Everything was inked using Ranger's winter distress inks Iced Spruce. This is my new favorite distress ink color. It just seems to go with everything.

I finished off the image with a white pearl as my tree topper.

My sentiment is also an Inkadinkado stamp. It is from another of the swirly image packs. I added a pearl that I make with my Viva Decor icy white pearl pen.

My poinsettias are made using SB poinsettia die. I cut, dry embossed, color embossed with the paper still in the die. I then shaped them using a tiny embossing tool. They were stacked and then another small pearl was added to the flower centers.

My teal diecut is made with a Marianne designs die. I also used some pearls swirls that are Want 2 Scrap's.

Framed Sleigh

Framed Sleigh - This fortnights challenge at Craft Your Days Away is embellishment Bingo. We are sponsored by the awesome Simon Says Stamp. The have the most wonderful crafty stuff on their site.

Take a look at this fabulous Bingo Card. I went from top right diagonally down to the bottom left. I used pins, Flowers, and gems.
My card is a framed card. My talented friend Milly makes these cards all the time and I thought I would give it a whirl. I used the George cartridge to cut the center of the frame. My Santa's sleigh was cut with the Christmas cartridge and the building were cut with Winter Wonderland.

My DP is K and Company's Visions of Christmas. My flowers are Prima's. The white centers are pulled off a stem. My 2 year old grandson was very enthusiastic in his helping to pull apart the stems!
For my pin, I used a variety of Bead Gallery beads. The camera did not capture the beauty of the blue/green hue of the big, center bead. It is quite lovely and looks like frozen ice. The crystal corsage pins were on clearance at Walmart about 2 years ago. I wish I could find more of them. They are my favorites!


My gemstones are Darcie.

Don't faint, but I actually did a page instead of a card. I won this great page kit at a scrapbooking retreat that I attended a year of two back and decided to finially use it. I love the pink and teal together for Christmas. The DP is Bo Bunny - A gift of love - Sweetie Pie Smooch. It had stickers to go with it, so I used those along with 2 tiny brads.

My image is Kiera with Candle. Kiera is one of the PJ Pals. Isn't she adorable? I like her jammies in teal. She is one of the new releases that you could win. If you can't wait and to own it right this minute, then you can purchase her at the store now.

My next project is a card. I used this month's Freebie for my Thanksgiving Card. You can get it at the last stop on the hop.

My DP is American Traditional Designs Recipe Time Fruit. My ribbon is MS. I used a variety of flowers and buttons.

I colored the Cornucopia with Copics and added some Stickles to the rim of the Cornucopia and some of the fruit. I cut the image with a Spellbinders and distressed it with one of Ranger's Autumn Seasonal distress inks. This one is gathered Twiggs. I love the color.

Leave me a comment then head over to Deanette's blog to continue the hop.
