First Card and Challenge for 2011 - OTWC#39

Read about this challenge on Amy's blog and loved the colours so I decided to play along. I used PTI's Wreath for all Seasons and embossed silver stars around the wreath. Added some bling to the stars and a strip of glitter for added sparkle. Wishing you all a bright and beautiful 2011.

Top Ten Cards - 2010

Here are my Top 10 cards from 2010 in no particular order. It was fun going back through the year. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at some of my creations. LOL.

Embellish Scrapbook LO and Colour Challenge

This challenge requires you to create a scrapbook layout using the color challenge...brown, cream and a colour of your choice.

This is a photo of my nephew's first Christmas last year. Can't believe how a year has gone by so quickly.

WMS Blog Waltz - November

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. What a wonderful celebration of the greatest gift of all, our precious Lord Jesus Christ...so I had to waltz along. I just love these little paper bag pouches that I have seen all over blogland and was keen to make one of my own. I used a really small paper bag so it's just the right size to hold a gift card. Quite a pretty way to package a gift!

WMS - Tag You're It

Used the Seasons of Love stamp set to make this tag. Love the font used for the sentiments in this set. Cut the base of the tag using Spellbinders Nesties Label 4. Made an 'accordion' flower for the centre of the stamped star. Popped a glittered star on top of that to finish it off.

Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz - October

The theme for this month is Autumn/Harvest. Oh well it's already hot and summery here in South Africa, so I made this card to send to my friend in Canada.

I stamped the plaid background using the plaid stamp from the Off Beat Backgrounds set. The sentiment is from the Fancy Phrases set.

A Holiday Card Challenge

Betsy Veldman has a challenge going on over at her blog. The challenge is to choose a non-holiday card from the pages of Card Creations vol 8 and create a holiday card based on that design.

I chose this card by Renee Morris-Dezember

Here is my card based on Renee's card. Basically kept the card the same just a few minor changes. I changed the text bg for music notes and used Christmas trees instead.
