Happy Sunday evening all! Well, Rena's party was a success! I was keeping the design of the cupcakes I had a friend's daughter make for me a surprise...she used the symbols of Rena's current favorite band on top, and Rena loved them! YEA!!! She gave me a couple of hugs during the party, so I guess everything went well! :) *warm fuzzies*
Now onto my card for this evening:
I am TOTALLY loving making square cards of late...too bad they won't go thru the mail! :( I made this one late last night...I've been wanting to use the acetate sheets I purchased for quite some time now and finally took the time to do so! The snowflake border is from Memory Box cut out of white glitter paper. I cut the middle section out of the front of the card and replaced it with a piece of acetate. The snowman piece is from a 3D tag that Stef of Ingenious Inkling sent me a few years ago after I drooled over these 4 cards she had made using tags she got at Michael's. Needless to say I WANTED those tags, but by the time I got to my nearest Mike's, they were gone. Stef was generous enough to send me some tags and shamefully I am just now using one...#NBUS ALERT#...*hangs head in embarrassment.* Anyhow, I ripped carefully peeled off the 3D part of the tag and used it here. I like that it comes complete with a sentiment! :) I added some of the cutout snowflakes from the Memory Box die cuts to the acetate piece, and this card was complete!
I would like to submit this to the following challenges:

This is happy card, Marie! I don't blame you for wanting that tag and I love how you have showcased him with that border die and the acetate strip covered in snowflakes! Very clever! I might have to steal this idea!! Thank you so much for playing in my second NBUS Challenge and for your kind promotion!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI have acetate sheets and I have only used them once or twice. Your card inspires me to dig mine out, too!!! Love how yours turned out. So fun and festive!
