Here Comes The Bride, All Dressed In White



Good early morning, everyone!  Are you ready for some crafty fun? If you are, then come join in our All White Challenge at Open Minded Crafting Challenge. Yes, yes, we know you are busy with Christmas just around the corner, but you have two weeks to play along with us, so why not jump in and start creating with us?!

You could be one of our DT picks of the week, or, you could win one of the lovely prizes from these generous sponsors:





















We'd love to have you join us and show us your beautiful all white creations! Come play along with us - you could be a winner!

Now, here are the details on my card. My card uses the image, Kiss The Bride, by Sassy Studio Designs, colored with Promarkers, I used white cardstock from my stash and have embossed it with several pretty patterns.  I layered each embossed layer with foam mounting tape to give that classy layered look.  The card was finished with a delicate white handmade bow.  I think this turned out to be an elegant, classy wedding card, but could also be used for an anniversary . As a matter of fact, I made this card for a dear friend and her husband, for thier wedding anniversary  I think they are going to love it, don't you?!

Under The Mistletoe




Holiday Joy Challenge at Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog

Using the image, Rory and Mikey Under The Mistletoe, from Lacy Sunshine Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used three jingle bells (they are actually brads!) to embellish. The bottom of the card has mesh stretched across it, layered with a piece of red ribbon.  I finished it off with a handmade black tulle bow.

A Sparkly And Shiny Christmas




Wow, can you believe its that time, again?! It's time for Bugaboo Stamps and crew is celebrating Christmas Chaos, again, over at Catch The Bug! Whoo Hoo! We all know how much you love this event and we are thrilled to be doing it, again, this year! Christmas Chaos runs from December 6 - December 12, with a daily challenge every single day! There will be daily prizes, guest designer spots and a special Christmas digi set up for grabs, so be sure to play along! Remember, the more you play, the more chances you have to win. Keep in mind, though, in order to have a chance at the Guest Designer spots, you have to play along in every single challenge during Christmas Chaos week!

Now, let's kick off this Christmas Chaos celebration with our first daily challenge!  Our theme is Sparkle and Shine and there are lots of sparkly shiny creations being showcased for your viewing pleasure!

Now, here is the low down and skinny on my card.  For my card, I've used the image, DeDe Christmas Bells, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with promarkers. I used a mix of glittery, sparkly papers, from my stash. If you look closely, you can see that I used Merry Christmas washi tape striped across the card. Green gemstones and present shaped buttons have been used to embellish. I added ribbon and a handmade bow to the buttons to make them look more like presents. The sentiment is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches.

Have A Merry Unusual Christmas



And the Inside of the card:




Looking for an open mined challenge blog, where you can feel free to express yourself any way you like?!  Well, then Open Minded Crafting Challenge is the challenge blog for you! We welcome and appreciate any expression of creativity, as long as it fits the current challenge theme, so come over and play with us! Our challenges run every fortnight, so you have two weeks to play along with us!


Our theme, just in time for the holidays is..... Unusual Christmas.  Think unusual colors or images that aren't usually used for Christmas projects. Or, maybe just use papers that are different.  Let your creativity run wild and create something fabulous! Whatever you create, or however you interpret the theme, we'd love to see your creations!  Come link up with us at Open Minded Crafting Challenges. We have prizes up for grabs, from these awesome and supportive sponsors:













Fabulous prizes from fabulous sponsors! Remember, you have to be in it to win it, so hurry over to Open Minded Crafting Challenges and link up your Unusual Christmas creation, for your chance to win!

Oh, wait, don't leave before I get a chance to tell you about my card!  I feel like I truly embraced the Unusual Christmas theme! It's fun, now and then to be different and bring out a little (or a lot) of your darker side.  (We all have one - admit it and show us your dark side creations!) I wanted to color the images in "darker" colors and incorporate skulls, to create a different type of Christmas card.

This is a rarity to me - I actually had so much fun with this card, that I decorated the inside, also - I rarely do that, so this card is definitely special, for a special person! All papers used are from my stash.  (Gotta love that skull paper that I never got the chance to use for Halloween!)  The black white and gold metallic foil snowflake paper seemed to be perfect for this "Darker" Christmas card. My card uses the image Holly and Rosehip Wreath, from Delicious Doodles, colored with Promarkers. My layout uses the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy. I used skull printed ribbon and a handmade bow, across the bottom.  I used these fun skull shaped buttons to embellish on either side of the bow.  The sentiment is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches.

This card was created for a wonderful friend, for Christmas.  I know my friend will love it and appreciate it!

Wish Upon A Star Little Snowman




Happy Thursday! Thanks for stopping by, today, and celebrating Oldie But Goodie Thursday with us at Catch The Bug! We love bringing back those older images into the spotlight and you're going to love all the creativity we have to show you! Come over to Catch The Bug and feast your eyes on all the other awesome Oldie But Goodie creations!

My card uses the image Lil Snowman Star, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  All papers are from my stash. Don;t you just love the glittery papers?! I used Christmas tree buttons, recycled from an old Christmas shirt, and threaded with baker's twine, to embellish. The sentiment is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches. I used liquid pearls to make circle shapes in the corners of the image and beside the sentiment.
