If you're like me---your looking forward to spending some down time at home for New Years Eve and New Years Day---so, join me in a card challenge while your roaming about in your pj's!
Here are the details:
- Create a WINTER card in either blues or pinks.
- Card must have glitter or bling---you know some sparkle!
- Must include either fabric or felt
- And, must have a snowman on it---die cut, paper pieced, from patterned paper, sticker, etc.
Link me to your creation---you have until midnight on New Years Day! I know you'll make me drool with your creations.
Here is my humble approach to this:
Paper and sticker from Paper Salon, KI Memories paper clip, Doodlebug gems, HOTP fabric brad, SEI brads, and Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge.
Just a couple of other cards I made using some fun Paper Salon products.
This is supposed to be a slice of watermelon---not sure you can really tell or not---but that was my intention, haha. Paper Salon paper and stickers, Worldwin cardstock, EK Success stickers, Doodlebug brads.
Paper Salon paper, stamps, ink, and chipboard, KI Memories brads, flowers and trim from craft supply.
Well....I feel like cooking up a storm---you know meatballs, hot wings, cheese ball, fudge----but that would mean I'd have to get out of my jams in order to get to the grocery store---sigh....off I go!
Happy New Year!
Melis
Well, I won't have the time to take on your challenge before tomorrow, but I just wanted to say that your cards are SO sweet Melissa! Yes, of course you can tell it's a watermelon- and a super cute one at that!
Take care!

Love the challenge and I tried to play, but unfortunately there wasn't an LSS open between here and Provo who had any felt for me! :(
Maybe next time....
