Glitterbabe Sale on Friday and a NOEL card!

Hello and happy Wednesday! I wanted to share with you a sale going on at Glitterbabe's Art Shop! She has some really awesome xmas images out there...please stop by and take a look...you'll be sure to want them all!! I also have a card to share with you today...
This image was in a bag of stamps that was given to me and it does not have a notation on it as to what company put it out. I hate when that happens...oh well, I love how this turned out. I colored the image with copics, blinged it up with 2mm red rhinestones from Pizzazz Aplenty and cut it out and matted it with the Long Rectangle Nestie. Added a 1/2 inch strip of Scor Pal tape under the image and glittered it up! The punch used at the bottom of the card is a MS punch. All the card stock used on this card was purchased from Pizzazz Aplenty as well...I wish you could see the red card stock...it is sooooo shimmery...really adds to the card. Well I am off to finish up some cooking for tomorrow. I hope each and every one of you have a blessed Thanksgiving...I am thankful for each and every one of you...thank you for stopping in today!

HUGS!

Squigglefly Challenge

It's time for another Squigglefly Challenge! Our challenge this week is to create something with a Thank You/Give Thanks theme. I decided to go with the color scheme of Thanksgiving/fall but to use one of the Squigglefly images that screams Thanks! The image I used is Shy Bear Hugs. Colored the image with copic markers and stippled a little Momento Tangelo ink on the background. All the paper used for my card is from Papertrey Ink...and of course you can see I used nestabilities too! The Thank You sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps and the embossing folder I used was Cuttlebug Dots. Please be sure to stop over at the Squigglefly Challenge blog to see with my fellow DT members created...they are all so awesome. If you have not been to Squigglefly lately, be sure to check them out. There was a really big release this weekend and they introduced THREE new artists! One of the new artists is none other than fellow design team member Marlene Shaw! We are also welcoming Brian Lock and Suzanne Urban to Squigglefly. Well I am off to have a few medical tests today and then plan on getting some thorough housecleaning done! Wish me luck with that housecleaning! LOL. Hope you all have a great day...thanks for stopping in!

HUGS!

Simple Card

Back again! I hope your Sunday has been a great one. We worked out in the yard for a while today to put away the last of the summer things and raked some leaves. We have a huge oak tree in our back yard that covers the whole back yard like an umbrella...it is beautiful and provides us with tons of shade in the summer and blesses us with TONS of leaves in the fall! I am about to start dinner but wanted to get this card posted. Today's card is created using the largest of the Scalloped Circle Nestabilities....fold a piece of paper in half and place the nestie a little above the fold to get a card. :) I then cut out a circle nestie in blue and embossed it and for the top layer, I used a silver foil doily with the solid center cut out. My snowflake is something I picked up in the dollar bin at Michaels this summer....now I wish I had more of them! Well, got to run and get that chicken pot pie made for dinner...have a great rest of you Sunday and thanks for stopping by today!

HUGS!
