The Crafty Hos Challenge

Today's challenge was a really hard one for me.  If you head over to The Crafty Hos challenge blog, you'll find that the challenge today is to create a card or project WITHOUT using designer paper.  I almost never do that!  I really had to give this some thought, but then I ended up loving the card I made.  I used Georgia Pacific and Papertrey cardstock, alternating layers between white and cream.  I used four different cuttlebug folder, smudging a little ink around the edges of each.  I used a Bugaboo image from the Scarlette line, colored it with copics, added a little Twinery twine, used embellie jellie and Taylored Expressions twinkies--making this what I think is a very snazzy card!  It will certainly go to some birthday lady!!


Oh, think of the money I could have saved if I would have never used  (or bought!) designer paper.

This card will be entered into challenges at:
Challenge was to Bling It Up!
The challenge was to use a Romantic Style (whites, feminine, tiny patterns)
Challenge was to Emboss It!

Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has created.
