Honorable Mention from Fusion

Thanks so much to Danni over at Fusion Card Challenge blog for choosing my card for honorable mention. It made my day!!

Sweet Snowman Fun!

Hello fellow card makers! I'm here to post a card that I made for the challenge over at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge blog. This weeks challenge is snow men, or snow people. I couldn't resist using this darling vintage image that was a freebie online.

I started with a base of white which I splattered using thinned paint in a spray bottle. I created the Post Card image using Vintage Postcard from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I then mounted the white base on a black script decorative paper. I cut the image using Spellbinders ovals and mounted it on a mint green decorative oval from Spellbinders. I added a pretty sheer pink ribbon and bow and topped it with a layer of glittery snowflakes and some thread.

I also added some Martha Stewart glitter to the image. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Fun With Sketches

Hello paper pals~ I'm discovering that this blogging thing is much harder than I thought. It's really hard to get people to visit unless you're really well known, which I'm not. Anyway, I'll keep plugging along. I'm joining this weeks sketch challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room.

I used an image that I found online and thought that the papers from Graphic 45 French Country went along perfectly! Thanks so much for looking! blessings~ Birgit

Crafty Secrets Linky Party and The Shabby Tea Room

Hello paper loving friends! Just popping in to share a card I made for two challenges today. Crafty Secrets is having their linky party and I'm also entering this card into the Shabby Tea Rooms so romantic challenge. So without further adieu, here's my card.

For this card, I used an image from Crafty Secrets from their Birds & Botanicals Images and Journal Notes, which I layered on some old music paper and a background of different pink printed papers. For the sunburst papers, I used PTI Hello Sunshine die cuts. I layered some rolled roses and a daisy, which I'm still learning to roll properly, onto a soft pastel vine of green leaves that was cut using the Leafy Flourish die from MFT. I added a sheer ribbon bow with a button and flower. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit
