Sparkling Ornament for Friday Mashup

I just love the challenge that Amanda is bringing us this week at The Friday Mashup! It's all about ornaments and sparkle!

If you come to my blog regularly you'll know that I love to make Christmas cards....doesn't matter what time of year it is, I love making them. When I saw that Amanda wanted us to make a card with a Christmas ornament I went 'wooohooo'!

Sparkle is the 2nd portion of the challenge and that is usually a little tougher for me but SU's Silver Glimmer Paper made it easy for me to get all the sparkle I needed and more on this card. For a little extra bling I added rhinestones to the ornaments and also to the sentiment banner.

Head on over to the Friday Mashup blog to check out all the great cards from the rest of the design team, and then play along with us, we'd love to see what you come up with!

Into the New Year with Friday Mashup!

It's the last Friday Mashup challenge of 2011, where has the year gone? I hope you've enjoyed the challenges that The Friday Mashup has brought to you in 2011 and I hope you'll come back for more in 2012!

Today's challenge comes to us from Kasey, and she wants us to create a project that sparkles, a project celebrating New Years or mash them up and do both!

I mashed them up but not in a traditional sense. I chose to use the very serene scene from A Scenic Season, one I've used quite a bit these last few months. I just love this stamp and its a reflection of how my family and I will be ringing in the New Year.....at home, surrounded by trees and snow, our own winter wonderland. We'll reflect on the year that has gone by and wonder what we will encounter in 2012.

The trees are covered in Dazzling Details, so in the light this card does sparkle and looks quite pretty! I also used this weeks color challenge over at Splitcoaststampers for my color scheme.

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

-Make a project that "Sparkles".
-Or Make a project "Celebrating the New Year".
-Or "Mash it Up" and create a project "Celebrating the New Year that Sparkles" .
