Winner & Complete Card

Hi girls! Thanks to all you troopers who hung in there on this one. Not exactly the note I wanted to end '09 on, but it is pretty accurate, as this year I have been one tardy cardmaker! 2010 is sure to be a better year - I promise! And it starts tomorrow with the 1st Unity Friends With Flair Friday of the new year - woot woot! :D

But today, finally, I'm posting my completed card for the SOTC for December (Kadie's fabby monthly swap group).

The theme/challenge was to create a winter scene. Well, this is pretty much my look for winter - hair whipping and all bundle up! I just totally fell in love with these Pure Innocence stamps from MY FAVORITE THINGS! This is a newer line to MFT and they have been selling like hotcakes! I snapped up my 2 faves - this one, called "Flurry of Love" and another which I'll be using soon called, "Snow Day". As of yesterday neither were available on the MFT website, but there are plenty of other cuties from the PI collection to choose from. (No, I'm not compensated by MFT - I just love their stamps, especially for paper piecing!)

So, for all of you who guessed that the image was from MFT - congrats! And BIG CONGRATS to Andrea (aka Scrapamum)! (Check out Andrea's super amazing scrap layouts! My current faves of hers are on THIS post!) Please email me with your address at [email protected] and I'll get your card kits mailed next week.

My NY Eve will be happily low-key, but all the while I'll be thanking God for the blessing of your friendships in 2009, and looking forward to growing with all of you in the new year!

Hugs,

Twilight Swap

Yes, yes, I'm over 30 and a Twi-hard! Gabby is hosting this fun Twilight Fangatics Swap on SCS, and I could not resist. So here's my submission. I'm using My Favorite Thing's BC Designs "And Then I said" image, and the SU! Baroque swirly-do (hard to see) embossed in Sparkly Black EP, which is also used on "Bite me." from River City Rubber Works. There's large black blings on the left and one small clear bling on the sentiment. The left side of the pic shows the envelope, which is silver pigment with clear EP. This picture is kindly to my coloring, especially of Bella's skin, which absolutely gave me fits!

Anywho, I hope my fellow swappers like it, and I hope you have a Fangtastic Thursday!

TFL!
