And also at PollyCraft Monday challenge to use pink - which is my fav color!
At Practical Scrappers - use a border punch - I used Martha Stewart
Embossing by Stampendous, misc ric rac, pink paper from SU, card base from DCWV

Hello. BBTB challenge

At BITTEN by the BUG Regina tempted us to a STORYBOOK....BIRD CHALLENGE
I do not have this cart - so I cut the bird out by hand.

I ran the bird through the D'vine Swirl Cuttlebug folder and inked him. Hand cut the branch and layered with paper flowers. The tag is a large Marvy punch inked and hand written HELLO. Added a tiny brad for the birds eye and mounted all on the fabulous Rustic DCWV card stock.

Bling it a Holiday Greetings

Paper Cutz Challenge # 9 was to glitz it, bling it, get your sun glasses out challenge for a Christmas card.

I used irridescent Origami paper for the accent layer.

Glitter for the snow, snow globe made using Joy of The Season Cricut Cartridge (Thanks to the idea at Cardz TV on how to make a snow globe).

Inside run through the Cuttlebug script Embossing folder, the punch out section was used with the Martha Stewart snowflake punch. (also glittered the negative space) Sentiment is from DCVW.
