Baptism Card

A friend at work just had a christening for her grand-daughter. When I saw this file in the Silhouette online store, I knew I wanted to use it to make a card for the baby. It was so easy! 

I cut the first layer out of some off white, textured card stock, then I cut the base layer out of SU! Whisper White. I used my Xyron 510 to adhere the two layers together. Unfortunately, this left a lot of glue residue on the edges of the top cut out layer. I brilliantly decided to use this to my advantage and sprinkled the entire card with a fine glitter! All the places where the glue was showing was now all sparkly! I added some iRock bling to the card, stamped "Congratulations" on the inside and it was done! A sparkly, girly card for a beautiful baby girl. :)  We are going to enter this card in a challenge we found out about from our blogger friend Jessica of http://chick-n-scrap.blogspot.com/  (her work is amazing) the challenge is at http://creativeinspirationspaint.blogspot.com/

Haunted Design House Challenge

A Saturday post to get a challenge in on time! I just love Halloween. There is something about dressing up as whoever or whatever you want that just makes me smile. And oh, all the great decorating possibilities! Imagine my delight when Kelly told me about the Haunted Design House blog. All Halloween, all the time! The talent of the DT minions over there is incredible! I usually just oogle and comment on the challenges over there, but this week, the starts aligned on one of their challenges for me. This week's challenge, Appalling Apothecary looked so fun and it just so happens that the free Silhouette file of the week was a jar! Add to that that Silhouette just put out some new print and cut Halloween labels, and I was in. Here is the card that I came up with:
