Frosted Designs Blog Hop .....

and a Lucky Girl Blog Party day 3!!!! If you have arrived here from Natalie's blog for the Lucky Girl hop and from Lori's blog for the Frosted Designs hop, then you are in the right spot!!!!

Frosted Designs is a having a big blog hop until December 9, and we want to see your glitter!!! Just as fabby scrapping taste would have it, my Lucky Girl kit for December included a glamorous sheet of glittered cardstock.

I used this cardstock and a page of the patterned papers from the kit to create this Christmas tag to attach to one of my Little Man's "Santa's" gifts. As if that weren't enough, I added some stickles to the edges of the flower and to the flourish on the dp

SECOND POST FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN
Alrighty, now I have finished my challenge card for Kathy at Stitchy Stamps, also one of the stamp designers at Digital -Ink Co. Her challenge was to use one of her images or a freebie from the store and create a birthday invitation. I made a Halloween Party invite for my two Little Kids, as we are having our annual party on October 17. I used one of Kathy's images and I am very please with how this little card came out. I also entered this one in the challenge for Stamping Dragon Designs, another of our fabby artists at Digita Ink Co. Her challenge is a party invite too, how cool is that?

Here is a peek at the inside, I just used the chiller font and typed this up on the computer.

Happy Halloween...

Yahoo, Saturday is here! In the celebration of World Card Making Day and our Digital-Ink Co blog hop, I have begun my day with a Halloween card. Judy's challenge over at M&M Designz is to use one of the store images and create a fall or Halloween gift set. I downloaded the spooky tree and moon from the *FREEBIES* that you can pick up at the store blog. I made a 6 X 6 card and used foam tape to add some 3D to it.

This is an altered jewelry box. I think maybe earrings came in it. You can see I used my new favorite glimmer mist on the cardstock background.

This isn't a great photo, but I wanted you to see the side of the box.

And here is the set. What do you think?
