From the step sister.....

Good day

What wonderful surprise I got when, Darlene from The Sisterhood of Crafters contacted me over this festive season to ask me if I'll be the stepsister for January. Darlene has been one of my icons in Blogland and to be part of this group of talented ladies for a month is such a privilege. This weeks challenge is out with the old and in with the new and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

This is Katnis Sassy on fire from Sassy Studio Design and is this months digi for there progressive challenge with the twist of use folds. My designer papers are from Miss Empire from Kaisercraft. Love the bronze/copper foil dots and I complimented it with the glitter on her dress. So the old is the arch die from Sizzix, copper frame, basic cardstock, flowers and the new is the digi, paper and clock charm and on the edges of the DP I used a Spellbinder on the edge Shapeabilities.

I was inspired by the following Challenges which I enter:

With Love on Christmas Glitter 'n Sparkle # 64

Good day

It is Sunday and it is time for another challenge at Glitter 'n Sparkle. This time we challenge you for a non-traditional colours Christmas project.  I got Disney Fan from Sassy Studio Design. I remember Daisy Duck with the bright red polka dot bow and decided to use pink and black. Then I found this glitter polka dot paper in my All About Girls Stack from DCWV. It is somewhere between purple and pink. The border is from Spellbinder and a peel off sentiment. I tried the foil technique on the balloons, but ended up correcting it with glitter.

Challenges I'm joining:
Sassy Studio Design #208 - Sparkle & Shine
Cute Card Thursday #300 - Celebrations
Tuesday Morning Sketches #229 - Sketch
Little Red Wagon - Non Traditional Colours
The Crafter's Cafe Challenge #42 - Make it Sparkle

Thank you for your visit and hope you'll come and join us for your final Christmas projects.
