White Snowflake Card

Hello everyone!  Hope you are all enjoying the new year so far!  :)  I have been so busy on my Christmas vacation that I have actually enjoyed the last two days of doing nothing!  This is my last week off and I just plan on relaxing, going to lunch a couple of days, hanging out, etc...  Last week I went to Disneyland and it was so packed that they were actually not selling tickets anymore!!!  I have never seen the park that busy!!!  Luckily we were able to get in because we had already gone in earlier that day and we had the "magical" hand stamp for re-entry....  Anywho, here is a card that I made to enter into some challenges...  YAY!  :)

Penguin Spinner Christmas Card

Good morning everyone!  I must start off by saying....  WOOO HOOOO!!!!  I have reached 200 followers!  I am going to do a giveaway of some kind, so keep your eyes peeled for that!  :)  It will be my first giveaway, so I'm a bit nervous (not sure why)....  But, I really want to do this because I want to say THANK YOU to all of the people who are taking the time to visit and follow my blog!  I can't believe that with all of the talent out there, my little blog reached 200!!!  Okay, onto my card for today...

Bitten by the Bug 2- use a penguin (I don't own Jolly Holidays, so I used Joys of the Season)
My Craft Spot- Christmas in July
Jingle Belles- O Hole-y Night: create a card with a window in it (I love the name of this challenge) :)
Paper Cutz Challenge- anything goes
Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge- use a pun (I LOVE puns) and a PK face

Cricut cartridges used:
Joys of the Season- penguin cut at 3.35"
Wild Card- card base cut at 5.59"
Winter Woodland- snowflakes cut at 1", 1.55", 1.86"
Peachy Keen Stamps- Critter Faces SET A Medium & Winter Face Assortment
Sentiment from my computer- Curlz MT font, size 18
Martha Stewart Ink: sea lavender & ocean
Mini snowflake stamp
A la Mode sparkle embossing powder
Martha Stewart fine glitter- crystal
Brad for the spinner
Foam tape

**I'm so excited because I made my own background paper!  To make it I stamped a mini snowflake (I don't even know the brand of the stamp) with Versamark Ink in various places on the white paper.  Then I sprinkled the embossing powder over it and heat embossed the snowflakes.  I then took my MS sea lavender ink and dabbed it over the entire card (and it doesn't stick to the embossed images).  I inked the edges of the card with MS ocean ink.

Before I end this post, I want to thank Cally Ann @ http://callyanncraftycreations.blogspot.com/ for giving me a blog award!!!!  She has a really cute blog, and posts really nice projects.  I would encourage you all to check her out! :)  You can see my original post for this award here.  Thanks again!

Okay, I snow you will have a cool day!  Thanks for stopping by!!! :)

Merry Christmas Snowflake Card

Hello!  I am posting this card today (which is actually kind of tomorrow already) because I am going to be going to Monterey for the next couple of days....  I am so excited to get out of this heat!  Woo hoo!  As always, I will look forward to coming back on Sunday and seeing what you have created over the weekend!  :)  This card is making me really get into the holiday spirit!  I think it turned out looking kind of country...  I had the song "Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays" by N'Sync playing in my head the entire time I was making this!  Very nerdy, I know...  :)
