The Merry Christmas Challenge #42

Hi Crafty Friends,
I just love being on TMCC team.   For once, I may have most of my Christmas cards finished ahead of the rush.
I purchased an amazing  snowflake stamp from CAS-ual Fridays and used it to create this card.

I stamped the snowflakes on classic linen - gold pearl card stock and then heat embossed using silver sparkle.  The dies are from La-La-Land Crafts.  Once again is used some Mercury Glass card stock for the mat and added a few sequins to complete the card.
Remember that there is a new challenge EVERY week.  Next week Team Tinsel will share their projects.

My Besties International Challenge Blog ~ October Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends, Our October theme is "Making 'Spirits' Bright."   So, yes, you can interpret it any way you wish.  I decided to go with Halloween for my first post but I'm thinking Christmas for the reminder post (Oct. 15).  Remember that our themes are optional and you may use any image by any artist. Here's my card.

I love my new La-La Land Crafts corner spider web die - isn't it cute.  The papers and flowers are from my stash.  I colored with Copic markers and added some sparkle using atYou Spica glitter pens.

You can find the image I used HERE.

Cards for Copic Class + Blog Hop Winner

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful response to My Paper Crafting's 24 Carrot Egg-stravaganza Blog Hop.   Your comments were so kind and I'm thrilled to welcome a number of new followers. I hope you'll continue to visit.    Before I announce my winner, I'd like to share two cards that I made for my Copic Class gals. Our lesson for February was folds in clothing and a review of coloring hair and skin.  Both images were freebies.  The little girl was a Friday freebie from Whimsie Doodles.  The boy was found on Google images.

Now to my blog hop winner . . . .  Woohoo and congratulations to commentor #15, Debbie, who said

"Wow your table is absolutely beautiful! Ilove each one but the leaves are my favorites."

Debbie, if you'll email me your address, I'll get your blog hop goodies in the mail.  You'll find my email under the Contact Me tab.

I have a card ready to share with you.  I used one of K.Andrew Designs stamp sets and a new release digi from Copic Marker Scrapbooking.  BUT, due to a computer glitch at CMS, the digi hasn't been released and we've been asked not to post until the release on CMS.  I'm hoping to post it late Wednesday or Friday.  We'll hope for good Karma over at CMS.

Hope you're having fun preparing for the holidays.  I'm making sweet potato casserole to take to our family dinner and a yummy Festive Salad.  I love Thanksgiving!!!

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Larelyn
