Simon Says....it's CHRISTMAS but you can't use RED or GREEN!!!

There are lots of challenges out there for Christmas, so this week at Simon Says Stamp, we decided to make it a little harder on you - you can't use RED or GREEN!!! AND, for all of December, Heidi has decided to UP the prize to a $50 SPREE at the store!!

WOOO HOOOOO!!!!

Here is my card for this week: I used PENELOPE & JUNIPER images from C.C. Designs. I coloured her with Copics and added some bling with the blue rhinestones from Basic Grey. The snowflake punch is from Martha Stewart. The CS is Bashful Blue and Cool Caribbean (SU) and the DP is Basic Grey. The sentiment is from an old SU set.

REMEMBER - you win TWO of these...a $50 spree!!!!! WOW eh??? Good luck!!!

Incy Wincy Designs challenge

This weeks challenge at Incy Wincy Designs is to make a Christmas decoration or tree ornament. I used this cute little Christmas bear from Aspire to Thrive, and made a Christmas ball for him to rest on. I ran the white circle through my CB snowflake folder and added some rhinestones for some sparkle. Here is a close up of the ball:

The Corrosive Challenge blog....Red & White AND Designed2Delight challenge

Hello everyone!!! Happy Sunday!!! I cannot believe it is December already! The last 2 months just FLEW by, guess that is what happens when you are SO busy! EEK!!!! Anyway, today's card is for 2 challenges - first it is my DT card for the Corrosive Challenge Blog - which is a RED & WHITE challenge. Second, it is for the Designed2Delight challenge. This week our freebie was this gorgeous poinsettia. I thought I'd combine both challenges with such a perfect red image!!

The CS is Ridinghood Red (SU); I ran the white piece through my Holly Ribbons Cuttlebug folder and coloured the poinsettia with Copics. I added some Ridinghood Red ribbon (SU) and a sentiment (Michael's $1.50 bin) and ended up with a pretty elegant looking card - it was quick and simple!! After I took this picture, I realized I forgot to add rhinestones to the 4 corners, so just imagine they are there, ok?!?! It is much too late and my eyes are very heavy - don't want to retake the photo!!! Sorry!!! You can pretend right?? LOL

Have a GREAT day!!!
