Glittered Kindness

Hi Friends! Happy Labor Day if you are celebrating here in the US :) Hope you don't have to work! I feel fortunate to have had most of the weekend off besides an 8 hr shift on Saturday. Just a quick lil' card here to share. This week, Sharon is challenging us all to pull out our JustRite Stamps & make some Glitter Magic for this week's JustRite Friday Challenge...

Hi There! Thanks so much to all who played along with last week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! So many fabulous projects! Here today with an all new sketch.

Hi Friends! Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my Halloween banner that I made for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps September Blog Waltz. Here today to share this card I made for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. This card is rather Clean And Simple for me. I inked up Musical Backgrounds to create the background for the top layer & paired it with some pretty My Mind's Eye DP.....

Hi Everyone! Here to share with all of you some very exciting news - Today kicks off the beginning of a new weekly challenge blog named City Crafter Challenge managed by Kirsty Lim. My dear, sweet friend Heather, who is a Designer on the challenge team has invited me to be the very 1st Guest Designer for this weeks challenge, CCCB1, which happens to be a Cupcake theme :) Thank you so much Kirsty for this special opportunity to kick off the beginning of your new adventure & Heather for thinking of me :)

Here is my Happy Birthday card:

This card was quite simple to make :) To make the background, all I did was emboss a piece of cs, punch & ink the edges then stitch on a few strips of Basic Grey DP. I layered the cupcake image atop a Spellbinders ™ Nestabilities S4-114 Standard Circles Large, S4-124 Classic Scalloped Circles Large using a few various Copic markers, stitched on a button & sprinkled on some Pixie Dust :) Well not really Pixie Dust rather, Melissa Frances Mica flakes, which creates such an amazing effect!

If you have never used Melissa Frances's Mica flakes, you don't know what you are missing! They are super light, stick very easily & have an amazing effect! That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by & taking a peek :) Be Sweet!

For COMPLETE details, please be sure to visit City Crafter Challenge & be sure to visit ALL the DT's sites as well! Once you have your card photographed, be sure to go to City Crafter Challenge and post a direct link to your project on the site. If you upload to on online gallery, please be sure to label your project as CCCB1.
