Welcome Twenty-Ten!

Well, it's 2010! Amazing, huh? I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and rang in the New Year right! I know I did -- sound asleep in my bed! Yep, I'm a wild woman, I know. :) I made this first card before I left for vacation, but didn't get a chance to post it. I followed the Limelight Sketch #37, and even though it's too late to enter it, I thought you liked to see anyway, right? I used the star from the Unity set a pocket full of... and the sentiment is from Lizzie Anne's set Sketched Sentiments.

This second card I made for my niece. I bought her some Hello Kitty stuff for Christmas and she told me that she LOVES Hello Kitty, but has never watched her on TV and she really wants to. So of course, Aunt Katy has to take care of that. So I bought her a DVD and plan on sending it to her with this card. I have never made an acetate card before, but I think it's cute! Hard to photograph though...

P.S. On my last post, about losing my blog design, I was asked by a few people how to make a copy of your blog so that you don't lose it. Here's some simple instructions:
To back up your blog you can do one of two things:

Go to the edit html tab under layout and download the full template.

Or you can copy and paste all your html into a notepad document. It has to be Notepad because it doesn't convert the html like other word processing programs.

Hope that helps! :)

Shimmery Fun

I made this card for the Cuttlebug Challenge to use glitter. I used the Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder as the background and then painted Pixie Dust Shimmerz over the whole card. In person it is SO shimmery! The camera had a hard time picking it up, but if you squint and turn your head funny, maybe you can see it. I included a close-up of some of the shimmery goodness though if you don't really want to try that.

Supplies Used: Snowflakes embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Christmas Verses (Our Daily Bread Designs), White CS (Georgia-Pacific), Pixie Dust Shimmerz, Ribbon (American Crafts)


And here's another card I made, using the same idea. It uses the Quickutz Christmas tree embossing die. I covered it in Pixie Dust Shimmerz and some really fun Polar White Flower Soft.

Supplies Used: Christmas tree (Quickutz), Mistletoe PP (Making Memories), Share the Joy (Hero Arts rubber stamps) Dew Drops (The Robin's nest), Polar White FlowerSoft, Pixie Dust Shimmerz, Yellow Droplet (Kaisercraft)


P.S. Can't see the shimmer? Try clicking the image to enlarge. It's there, I promise! :D
