An end and a challenge

This week is my last reveal at Cookin Up Creations. I had such fun designing for them but it was time for me to move on. Its such a positive and inspiring community. I'll definitely be hanging around to chat now that my term is up. Each month the community is sponsored by the latest and greatest in the scrapbooking world. My december box was filled with clear acrylic stamps from Mark's Finest Papers, pretty tags from the etsy store Ormolu and part of the Kris Kringle line from SEI.

Since I was a little Christmas'd out I decided to use the Christmas papers to create a lovey dovey layout. I misted the swirly background paper with both green and pink glimmer mist then layered on the ormolu tags and some random fun embellishments

I also created 2 Christmasy cards with the same supplies

To add texture to this card I painted some punchinella red and layered it over the SEI papers. I also punched out a little heart and added it to the middle tree

and this one uses the cracked background and sentiment stamps from Marks Finest Papers. I also included a digi image from Some Odd Girl that I colored with markers, colored pencil (for skin) and stickles

I also made the last card with at least 2 different types of bling to qualify for the Some Odd Girl challenge blog. Bling used: sequins, sparkly present sticker, Green stickles, and Christmas Red stickles
