Challenge Entry: Warm Winter Wishes

Here's another card I made using paper scraps.  I am amazed myself at the possibilities of creating with scrap paper! You just need to find that inspiration, which I did from all the lovely Christmas-themed projects I've been seeing across crafting blogland! :)

And presenting my scrap-y Warm Winter Wishes card...

From an angle, just to show off the bling...

The scrap papers from Echo Park's Season's Greetings.  Bling from Queen & Co.. Stamps from Inkadinkado.

I am submitting my card to these challenges.

Challenge Entry: 365 Cards - Day 271 - Keep It Simple

A quick and easy card done under 30 minutes! :)

This card is for 365 Cards' Day 271 challenge which is to keep it simple using only these elements on the card.


Cardstock base, 1 patterned paper, 2 embellishments, and a sentiment - that's all you can have on your card.

And so here is my take.

The DP I used is from American Crafts I Do collection.  The ribbon is also American Crafts.  The sentiment is from Inkadinkado.  Then I popped a cute little baby shoe charm from All About Scrapbooking to match my sentiment.
