Tons of challenges are happening all over the net to celebrate our special card making day! Hope you are find challenges that you are enjoying.
My friend Jennifer threw out this challenge last week-to use a bottle label to make a card. I must say with a little hot water soak it came off lots easier than I ever expected. I cut the design out of the bottle cap to use as an embellishment. It is a little hard to see in the picture but it is a large dark image of a mama polar bear with a lighter image baby bear...and it is our "Made in Alaska" trademark that is purchase by locals to designate products that are truly made here.
I have been on a few other challenges too-
Wonderful Women was an eye catching challenge for me at 2 peas. This one also qualified for the 2 or more mingled flourishes and some doodling!
I wanted to begin working on some Christmas cards so I am also playing over at Scrapbook News and Review. You have to register to play but it is free.
For this card I used the Blue Christmas inspiration photo. I made a homemade glimmer mist background. It shimmers with gold flakes.
This contest at SRN was sponsored by Apple Blossom Studio Stamps and required a border. I am off and running to play some more!

You're a busy bee in cardmaking, you're already making christmascards...
I just get used to the feeling of autumn ( trees are loosing their leaves, it's raining cats and dogs..) and you are already talking about snow at your place... brrrr...
The fun thing about it, is that it's no weather to go out, so creating in a warm cosy house..mmmm... what could you wish for more ?
