3 Challenges - YIPPEEEEEE YEEHAW!

I have been wanting to enter the Sugar Bowl contest the minute it came out!!!  Ooooh I am having to learn patience!!  This workin' for a living cuts into my "ME" time too much.  You can relate can't you?!!!!  LOL!  Hey you think I like snowflakes????  NO control! 
Challanges used for this card:
The Sugar Bowl - sketch & buttons
A Spoon Full of Sugar - distressing, which you can hardly see but the image is distressed and many of the layers as well. 
Creative Inspirations - blue & brown (but I added pink so I'm not sure if it will count but that's okay then.)
So I colored with my Copics, added glitter to the "fur" on her coat, Basic Grey Opaline pearls, SU buttons, misc buttons, Carolees bg paper, EK Success punches, Scrapper's floss and pink & yellow Spica glitter pens.  OH MA GOODNESS!  And my favorite part is my new Martha Stewart icicle punch!  I LOVE IT!!  Want, NEED to make more! LOL!!
 

1st Creative Accents Challenge

As previously mentioned, I have been given the opportunity to become a designer for my LSS Creative Accents - YEE HAW YIPPEE!!! I have passed along a few cards to them but this card was their first challenge to the designers. I chose to do a card vs a scrapbook layout with my Basic Grey papers, flowers from Maya Road (shimmer) and colored Bazzill cardstock. A tri-shutter fold card!!! I thought "ooh this will be tough but don't let it fool you - it's easy!!! You can find instructions and a video tutorial here.
If you have any questions let me know.  I really had fun making this one!

Halloween!!! Whipper Snapper

I made this card this weekend and didn't get time to post. I don't normally post during the week and hubby is waiting to watch tv so this will be quick! The stamp is from Whipper Snapper fall line (if you really want to know what it's called email me later). The pics below show how the Spica Glitter pens worked. I did a lot of glitter on the card. It's a fun one!!!
Booooooooooootiful!!! hee hee
