*** Some Glitz ***

 Hello folks,

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

where we have a theme of

"Mardi Gras" so we need you to show us your Shiny, Sparkly,  Festive makes.

I've created a Chinese New Year card that uses some very shiny paper.  Can't go wrong with shiny gold and red papers. It is the Year of the Tiger so I added an image from Graphic 45 Safari Adventure paper pad.  The lanterns are made using Spellbinder dies.  As we must always have something stamped I stamped and gold embossed Happy New Year acrylic stamp from Hero Arts.

The background was embossed using a Spellbinder die.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge Jan. 15
Crafts Galore Encore Challenge #95
Through The Craft Room Door - Jan.18
Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 333 - 2.2

Thanks for visiting today.

I hope you can stop by the challenge blog and see all the wonderful inspiration.

****Two or more Patterns***

Hello everyone,

Hope this finds you well

We've finally dug out from the winter storm that dumped over 50 cm of snow in some areas 

on Sunday and Monday.  So pretty to look at from the comfort of  home.

Today starts a new challenge at 

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #543

where our lovely N-Eva has chosen the theme

"Two or more layers"

I had some fun with dies and a paper pad from MFT called Road Trippin'
Lawn Fawn mice stamped and coloured with Copics then die cut.  Sentiment is a SU stamp.

Here is a closeup of my doodling.

 I really was in the groove and might just add some to the inside.
Benefits of being taught cursive I think.
