Ribbon,Lace and Pearls with Dream Valley Challenge #103

It's all about Ribbon/Lace and Pearls this week 

at 

DREAM VALLEY CHALLENGE BLOG!

I have to tell you I'm not a Lace and Pearl girl! At least, I didn't think so.

However, once I started adding layers to this card, I couldn't stop. This adorable digital image is by All Dressed Up, Abi Ballerina! She really made it so easy to dress up the card. I had so much fun with this. I'm looking forward to my next "girlie" card.

Try Something New with Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #4

This week over at 

CRAFTY GALS CORNER 

it's all about trying something 

NEW!

(new technique, fold, item, style)

I decided to try a new fold. I always find myself

doing the same ol' basic fold. And I'm glad I decided to 

try this new fold, it's easy peasy! I realized 

I really need to start breaking out of my comfort zone. 

 I also got creative with my embellishments. 

I have to say I'm really liking the look of this

card! I hope you enjoy it, too.

So here's the card I made using 

an Upright Z Fold!

I used a Bugaboo Digital Image,
Valentine Jar colored with COPICS, layered with
PTI Simple Valentine DP and finished off
with Queen & Co. Pearls.

We are very fortunate to have 

two great sponsors this week:

 Bugaboo Stamps 

7 Digital Images

 and

$20 Gift Certificate

 

Try something new and share it with us! 

I can't wait to see what you create

for 

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #4.

17 Days Til Christmas and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #85

I can't believe we have 17 days until Christmas! 

Who else is excited but sad at the same time?

I adore Christmas and everything it represents

but I must confess that I do get a little blue 

afterwards. Okay, enough chatter.

It's Monday and you know what that means....
