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:

Cute Card Thursday - Bling It Up

Thanks for looking....

Christmas Card Challenge - Day 22

I have made it to Day 22 of the  month-long Christmas card challenge.  It has been challenging and great fun, but I will need to take a break next month.  The prompt today at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' was a recipe:

1 border punch
2 brads
3 patterned papers


I used a sketch to as a starting point.  Well actually I picked out 3 papers first, then the sketch fell into place.  I used this week's sketch at Unscripted Sketches.  Such a nice sketch...


This sketch is part of Unscripted Sketches monthly piggyback challenge.  The piggyback portion of the challenge was a color inspiration.  I didn't follow the piggyback challenge.  Didn't work for a Christmas card.


Thanks for looking.  Come back tomorrow to see my Day 23 card.

Christmas Card Challenge - Day 11

Good evening everyone.  I completed my Day 11 card for the month long challenge at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' to create a Christmas card every day in August.  Today's prompt was Embossing, either wet or dry.

To create my card I used the new sketch at Unscripted Sketches.  It worked perfectly for what I was thinking.


I used 3 of my embossing folders on this card.  I also used nothing but scraps (except for the card base).


I also followed a couple of other challenge.  The new challenge at Just Us Girls is to use ribbon scraps.  I have a jar with small, leftover pieces of ribbon.  I found the see through white ribbon with white dots on it in there.  I scrunched it up and placed it in the center of the card.


And the last challenge for this card is this week's challenge at Allsorts.  The challenge is to use circles.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Check back tomorrow for Day 12.
