What a crazy day it has been! I am late posting this as I am late in everything I do!!! LOL!!! Want to have some fun today/tonight??? Join us in our Paper Crafts Planet group and chat! You can find us HERE! The entire Jbelle DT has made samples for today's New Year's Eve Challenges! There will be 4 challenges in all! You can find all the details HERE on the Jbelle Challenge Blog! You will definitely want to play along as there are awesome prizes for the challenges AND we have a special Blog Candy Treasure Hunt for you to play too! Again, all the details are HERE!
Here are the details on CHALLENGE #1 ~ SCS KEYWORD ~ JBENYE1
For our first challenge, we are asking you to “RING” in the New Year!! Keyword here ~ RING!!!! LOL!!! Use your creativeness (is that a word??) and make a card that has a “ring” to it!!!! LOL!!!! Ideas ~ Wedding card (rings ~ get it??), circles, a bell, Kids (ring around the Rosie), diamonds (either the shape OR the bling!!!), etc…
My sample is REALLY LAME but it is cute!!! LOL!!! The decorative paper has circles (RINGS) on it!!!! LOL!!! I made this card for Sharon's Ultimate Valentine Challenge. The idea for 1,000 sick kids to receive Valentine cards this Valentines Day! My kids have NEVER seen a card I made and actually asked for it. They give me the "oh Mommy, its so pretty" line but when my son (he's 11) saw this card he asked if he could have it after I posted it on my blog!!! LOL!!! Of course he wants it, it is the first card in a long time that has a place to go!!! LOL!!!! Here it is ~
The base of my card is Taken with Teal and then Shimmery White cardstock which I sponged both using Creamy Caramel ink. The top decorative piece is from October Afternoon and can be found HERE! The next mat is first Tangerine Tango cardstock (sponged as well with Creamy Caramel) and then THIS coordinating paper. I punched a red piece of Bazzill cardstock using the star border punch by Martha Stewart, added the same green circle paper behind the stars and a strip from THIS paper that has the arrows. The little green monster and the heart are both October Afternoon dies. I wrote the sentiment on the heart because I didn't have a stamp that small! I added 3 small Dew Drops which I colored red using a Copic marker.
Sorry to be so quick but I have to upload to the Jbelle blog and then mine to be ready for the 5pm challenge! Stop back by here...say....5:30!!! LOL!!!!
