Christmas Card Challenge - Day 28

Two more days to go....  Wow.  Today's prompt at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' was Snow and Embossing.  How fun.  I chose a sketch to use again today.  I saw this sketch yesterday, and it kind of intimidated me.  But I gave it a try.  I'm not sure I like how the card turned out, but I'm hoping it will grow on me.  The sketch is from Unscripted Sketches....

The challenge at Jingle Belles this week is BINGO.  I love these type of challenges, so I wanted to give it a try.  Since I had to create a card with embossing, I chose the diagonal line - Embossing, Flowers, Bling.

And here's my card.  I knew I wanted to use the blue cardstock embossed with snowflakes.  I switched out the squares several times.  I probably should have included red squares and a red flower for a little pop.  I put crystal bling in the center of several snowflakes and on the dot of "j" on the sentiment.

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Dutch Dare Card Challenge - Bling It On

Cute Card Thursday - Bling It Up

Thanks for looking....

I had to get my layout completed for the 52 Week Challenge at Scrappin'-n-Chattin'.  Last night I saw a sketch from Basic Grey that really jumped out at me.  It's a 2 page sketch, and I really wanted to use it.

I had wanted to do a 1 photo layout of my Tessa, but after I saw this sketch, I thought some photos of Willie would work great.  Here is page 1....

And page 2....

Now both pages together.  (Sorry the photos of the pages are better.  It's difficult taking good photos at night.)

I used the Basic Grey collection Granola.  I was so excited as the pages came together.  I think the papers were perfect.

I am also going to enter this layout at Dutch Dare Card Challenges.  The current challenge is Furry Friends.
