LSC #48 - Make It Shine!

Welcome back everyone to another post!  We are two days away from Christmas - and I am ready as I will ever be.  It is time for another Lawnscaping Challenge - and it is the last one for 2012!!  I can't believe we are about to enter into a new year!!  Time flies, people!  :)  For this challenge - its all about making things shine!!  Who doesn't love a pretty card, layout or project that shines!!

I wanted to keep my card simple and let the "shine portion" take center stage.  Here is my card.

This time of year is a great time for couples to get engaged or married - what better than a ring full of bling for my card :)  I used the ring from the Lawn Fawn set Happily Ever After, and added some rhinestones to really make the ring shine!  I used my Uniball Signo Pen in gold to color the ring itself.  I die cut a piece of white card stock from one of my Spellbinders dies and added my ring to the die cut and mounted that with foam adhesive.  My sentiment comes from one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets Grand Greetings and I stamped that using this black ink.  For a final touch - I added some Ranger Perfect Pearl Mist to finish everything off.

Here is a closer look - 

What a way to finish off the year with this challenge.  I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!  

It's my blog's birthday!

Happy Sunday everyone - for those that are involved in the time change - are we enjoying the extra hour??  I  know I am!!

Today, I just wanted to say that I am happy that my blog is now 2 years old!  It has passed so fast!!

In the three years I have been crafting - I have learned and grown so much as a crafter, not to mention - my craft room and the supplies in it as evolved so much since that point.  I find myself thinking back to Aug 2009 often, and seeing my first cards I've made - to this point - and WOW - such a big difference!  I love creativity and how it makes me feel!
