A little Bling

this card was made in response to a challenge from Lee's Blog. Her challenge was to use some "bling". Since my cards don't usually have much "bling" this was a fairly difficult challenge for me. This is what I came up with. . . .



The DS paper is "Bali Breeze" and the card stock is rose red. I used 3 different stamp sets. . . Baroque Motifs for the swirly background, Polka Dots & Paisley for the word "happy", and the butterfly is from Kind Thoughts. I stamped the butterfly in rose red and then covered with crystal effects and translucent glitter. Hopefully you can tell a little more about the details in this picture.



These are a couple of other cards I made to send to my notorious scrapaholics friends as thank you notes for the wonderful weekend.

as always, thanks for looking. have a great day!

Another February Mini Book

Well, I made it back from the crop retreat! Oh what fun! I've still got so much to learn. . . I couldn't keep up with all those ladies. They had stayed up past midnight on Friday night, got started before me on Saturday morning and cropped well past me into Saturday night. Thanks again to the Notorious Scrapaholics ladies. They put on an absolutely amazing event! I'll definately be going back next year!

So what did I whileI WAS there? Well I made bunches of things! But for the first couple of hours I made this ( I could have done it much faster but needless to say we did ALOT of chatting).

I used the on board basics small and the Simply Scrappin (tm) kit "Tie the Knot". If you are interested in doing something like this, check out the February Project Pack.



Here is one last picture. It is a detail of the end of the book to show how the papers look together. . . . this is probably my favorite picture of this book. . .

as always. . . thanks for looking! I'm off to work on my son's valentines.
