Just add Sparkle

I used part of the tree stamp from White Christmas

and stamped with Marina Mist.

The snowdrifts were sponged over some torn sticky notes used as masks.

When all the ink was dry, I smacked the whole piece with VersaMark, 

sprinkled Heat and Set Powder, heat embossed and sprinkled

Dazzling Diamonds over the sticky. 

I heat embossed again to make sure it was all melted together.

It's very sparkly!

Merry Monday

White Christmas for Merry Monday

It's Merry Monday!

Debbie (Debbie's Designs)

chose our challenge this week.

This is the fifth card I did for this challenge.

The first 3 ended up in the trash.

The 4th is impossible to get a decent photo of.

And now there is glitter everywhere!

So I decided to get down to black and white.

I like a little red with my black and white.

No glitter!

I tore some scrap paper and sponged around it for snowbanks, then 

masked the areas I didn't want to stamp and stamped the trees.

The little bird was stamped with Smoky Slate and colored. 

I fussy cut the bird because I didn't want to have to trash this card.

I like that he looks fat and fluffy!

I hope you'll put some non-evergreen trees on a card

and share it with us at

Merry  Monday.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Enjoy!

Holiday House for Merry Monday

We're back around to Merry Monday.

The weeks fly by so fast!

Kreative Kristie is our hostess this week and she chose...

Photo Source

Create a card with a house/houses on it.

Aren't those little red and white houses adorable?

This card was salvaged from a boo boo.

We did a card in one of my Christmas card classes with the trees

and the little snowman in between.

Some of us didn't have a good aim (like me)

and ended up with levitating snowmen!

I had some of these Holiday Houses  colored and cut out so 

the 2 UFOs came together.

A little Dazzling Details to add sparkle 

(and some extra sparkle on the sentiment piece that covers up another boo boo.)

I love being able to salvage mistakes!

Now it's you turn.

Put a house or houses on your Christmas card

and join us at Merry Monday!

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!

A Little White Christmas

Here's a bit of inspiration for the last Merry Monday of 2014.

There's still time to join in with a Winter Scene.

Here's a super CAS card with a bit of a winter scene.

Love this layout and it came from a botched job of stamping.

I cut off the bad part and used this tiny bit.

If you need more inspiration, be sure to check out the fantastic cards

my Design Teamies have done and the fantastic gallery!

We had snow flurries yesterday morning.

I love the snow!  Of course that's easy to say in NC

when the snow melts on contact!
