I was the winner of scrapsketch for July

OMG - so I have to tell you, August 1st - oh my where did the week go by, I was MIA for partial of the week, anyways back to August 1st, I was chatting with my sister on the phone as we usually do on Saturdays, and I was poking through my dashboard seeing the news postings of the blogs I follow - I do this at least twice daily so I don't miss any neat challenges or ideas.
Ok - back to my story ... so as I was reading scrapsketch posting on .. and yaking up a storm - I literally screamed in excitement as I read:

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - Challenge 28

This week Debbie's Sketch Challenge #28 - 08-03-09 is for us to try our hands at this sketch.

I had just finished cutting out this coffee/tea cup for another project and thought - hmmm this would make a warm and cozy card.

The cup is cut from Cricut cartridge Graphically Speaking at 3". The steam was cut at 1 1/2"

The sentiment tea bag - is actually a tag stamp from Stampin' Up

The top portion of the card was run through the Victoria Cuttlebug Folder.

BBtB challenge - use the snowflake from Accent Essentials and Cuttlebug Spot use your favorite folder.

At Bitten By the Bug Regina challenge us to use key # 13 - the Snowflake from Cricut Cartridge Accent Assentials. And Also at The Cuttlebug Spot you can win the folder by creating a card and finding the blinkies.!!! Go to Challenge #42 : Spot the Cuttelbug Spot: New Cuttlebug Folders
I entered this card as well as since I am in the snowflake mood - this is my "cool" favorite folder to use on Holiday Cards.

I cut Image at 2 1/4" on mettalic board I bought at Michael's in the clearance section. The image as mentioned in the title is from Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials.


I ran Stampin' Up white card stock through the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder and proceeded to hand cut with an exacto knife different areas of the double folded front panel.
I punch a whole in the card and the snowflake to allow it to hang.


I then cut another snowflake shape this time on the shadow feature and sponged it as a stencil on the envelope and the inside of the card.
The sentiment is from Leave memories.

I had this idea in my head for awhile - was not sure which cut or how it was going to turn out. I am pleased with this.
