Choosing background paper
Back in the beginning of August I had received this message "Hi, I am rather new to card making and to the Group. It is hard for me to pick out the dp, it takes a long time I hope that it gets easier. Looking at everyones cards gives me hope. Linda W." as well as a few other comments about choosing DP paper so I thought I would just mention what helps me.
The easiest thing I can tell you is to buy more then 1 sheet of the same line of DP paper. Here I have bought 4 sheets of 3bugsinarug "Let In Snow" christmas line. Each of these papers are double sided as I've shown in my pictures, which now gives me 8 different background patters & various colors to use. I can use the green, red, brown, blue and even white colored cardstock.
There are so many choices other things I have to think about when I'm making a card that anything to make it easier for me is something I'm all up for!!

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!
