8 pm CC Jewelry


8 pm Cuttlebug Challenge
For this challenge you were to create a piece of jewelry with your cuttlebug embossing folder. I decided to make a wine glass charm. I embossed some metal sheeting with the Snowflakes folder and then punched it out with my circle punch. I added some beads I wired together and added them to the circle medallion.

7 am CC Resist Card

7 am Cuttlebug Challenge
For this challenge you were to follow the tutorial to make a resist card. I don't own the supplies needed to do this card so I tried my own way and this is what I came up with. Instead of embossing and heating the snowflake image, I rubbed wax from a candle all over the snowflake. It didn't turn out perfect but I think the effect is kind of neat. I cut the snowflake from Accent Essentials and the scallop circle from Live Simply. The back white layer is embossed with Spots n' Dots.

3 pm CC Christmas Layout

3 pm Cuttlebug Challenge
For this challenge you were to make a scrapbook layout and do 2 kinds of dry embossing with one of them being a punch that's embossed. For my layout I cut 3 polar bears from Live Simply and tore a piece of white cardstock to make it look like snow. I then embossed it with Divine Swirls and mounted it on behind the bears. The snowflakes are punched out and them embossed with Swiss Dots. The phrase is actually fromv2 different carts. The "Christmas" is from Hoot n' Holler( Hoo loves Christmas) and the "A Wish" is from "Make A Wish" from Sweet Treats. I also added little jewels all over the page to give it some sparkle.

Jitterbuggin Sketch #10


Here is my entry for Jitterbuggin's weekly challenge. You had to use black, white, one more color, the sketch, a punch and a cricut cut. I cut the skunk out from Live Simply and the smaller circles are punched and the big one is cut from George. The sentiment is stamped.

9 pm CC Waste Cards


For this challenge you were to design a file on your Gypsy or in Design Studio that you could use both the cut and the waste. Here is my card I designed in DS. I used Swiss Dots on both and on the red " waste" one I added some red gems. Both cards are outlined in silver and gold.
