Time for another Crafty Secrets challenge over on the SCS forum. Lori is our hostess this week and she has asked us to use our FAVORITE Crafty Secrets product and add 5 embellishments to our creation.
One of my favorite Crafty Secrets products are their Cotton Scraps. Unfortunately I've heard they are not going to be carrying them any longer so I will certainly treasure those that I have remaining. This is a cotton scrap from the Vintage Christmas sheet ... I have added red Stickles to the holly berries for a little extra sparkle. The "All is Calm , All is Bright" sentiment is also from that same pack. I've simply cut it apart to use it in 2 locations on my card. The background is one of the new holiday Cuttlebug folders (the new larger one) and I've used gold Stickles around the edge. My tree & ornament embellishments are chipboard forms from K&Co. The snowflakes were made using an old Creative Memories snowflake punch and added gold Stickles to the centers. I've added a little gold organza bow on top of the ornament for a touch of softness.
Hope you like my creation. Now I really need to get off the computer and get my decorating started!! I have a group of ladies coming on Friday for a "Holiday Get Together" and I'm not even close to being ready!! Guess I'd better quit "playing" and get "working"!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I know I'm behind on my blog commenting ... I haven't forgotten you all ... just been busy ... I'll be stopping by your blogs real soon!
