New challenge this week.

I am so excited! It came down to the wire, but I did meet my own challenge. I know Sonja didn't get a chance to do any crafting this week as she is driving all over the country right now, but maybe this will be inspiration for her when she returns (Hi, Sonja!).

Here's the project that I used glitter on.


It uses one of the new embossing folders from Stampin' Up! I embossed a piece of vellum and then cut off the area above the flowers. I then traced over the embossed image with a glue pen and sprinkled it with glitter. This card is going to my Sister and her hubby for their Anniversary this month. (Don't look, Pam). The ribbon on the side helps to hide the adhesive that shows through the vellum a bit.

This week's challenge will be to use ribbon-preferably ribbon scraps. You know, those little pieces left over from other projects. See what you can do with them on a new project this week. One of my favorite techniques is to fold a 2-3 inch piece in half and staple it to the side of a photo or other element on a page. I need to work on some pages in Angel's album, so I'm sure it won't be hard to use up some ribbon.

Well, have fun, and happy craftin'!
