52CCT: August Stash Challenge

Welcome to another new challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown!  This week we're asking you to use glitter, bling, and all other things shiny on your holiday creations!  I've used some glitter and rhinestones to make a small-ish sparkly creation!

Here's it is~

I've used an image and sentiment from Doodle Pantry, .rhinestones by Kaiser Kraft, Stickles by Ranger, red glitter glue by Darice, and cardstock by Stampin' Up!.

This is my last post for 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and I want to say thank you to the gals on this wonderful team!  I'll miss getting to create you all with each week.

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my creation!  I hope you join in our fun and fabulous challenge this week and that you leave some love with the other gals on this extremely talented DT as well!  HUGS and Merry Stamping! :) 

52CCT: August Theme Challenge

Welcome to another new challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown!  This week we've got a fun theme!  The theme is MISTLETOE AND WINE.  Since I don't drink alcohol and have no images along those lines, I went with some punched leaves and pearls to create the mistletoe and then I used a deep wine red paper to incorporate that aspect of the theme.

Here's the result~

I've used a sentiment by Inspired By Stamping, twine from Paper Sweeties, pearls from Studio 120, silver glitter paper by DCWV, specialty paper from The Paper Studio, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and all other supplies are from Stampin' Up!.

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my creation!  I hope you join in our fun and fabulous challenge this week and that you leave some love with the other gals on this extremely talented DT as well!  HUGS and Merry Stamping! :)
