Hearts, Glitter and Pins Oh My

TGIF Everyone!
I am very happy the week is coming to an end as the beginning of the week our garage roof let go on top of our 1948 Chevy pickup and 1937 Ford Coupe that my husband and I have as a hobby that we take to car shows:-( We are not sure what the damage is to his car, and the truck is under a car cover and the rafters. With all the snow it is going to be a job to get into the garage to secure the part of the roof that is hanging to get to the cars. So this has not been my Top week of wonderful moments!

Challenge 152-Shiny Happy Cards!

Today is Cute Card Thursdays new challenge for the week Which is Adding something "Shiny" whether it be a charm,glossy accents, a metal flower, If it's shiny we want to see it! The Sponser for this week is Crissy Croll of Tiddly Inks and she will be giving away to the winner a $10.00 Voucher for her site:-)


I have used Crissy's Digital image called" Key to My Heart

My Shiny is in the form of a pretty Silver heart charm from my stash:-) I added it to a saftey pin and attached it to the tiny Stampin Up ribbon I picked. Peeking behind is my favorite new punch from Martha Stewart which makes that wonderful loopy band!
The Sentiment is a Digi from All That scraps that I thought would be perfect with Crissy's Image.I used Friday Sketchers sketch on my card for their challenge too! I cut the image of the tiny key she is holding and used stickles on it to make it sparkle a bit. The round doily behind the image is a doily from the Martha Stewart Line that I inked with SU Old Olive ink to matched the CS I used to mat all the DP pieces, which are My Minds Eye, The scallop punch is SU scallop border punch. Please go see what the rest of the DT came up with this week at Cute Card Thursday and why not make a card and enter ? The prize is wonderful:-)

C4E R#5 Sketch

TGIF!

And that means it's a new challenge for Crafts 4 Eternity! there is a sketch below to follow for this week and I thought it would be difficult but it was a blast to put together:-) I used a new pack of paper I ordered from Stampin up thats called Love Letter, It was perfect to use with my digi image from All That scraps....I can't find her name? as I'm writing this it seems their url page for the Digitals or new things is down:-( But I'm certain it is under "New" for January:-) I colored her with Copic markers and added some shimmery stuff i got from SU called Champagne Mist on the key. There is also stickles on her wings.


To get a chance at three Digital images, you need to make a card and follow the sketch here
and link over at C4E :-) Have a great weekend
