Late Night Stampin FUN with Leanne....

Good morning my crafting PEEPS! My bestie, Leanne, is here for the weekend and it worked out just perfectly tonight that both my kids went to friends and my DH is havin a "guys night" so you know what THAT means, right?!? Yep...we got inky! Leanne and I picked up Melissa, and we headed down to Red Deer while my kids were doing their gymnastics/trampoline club and we hit Scrapbooker's Paradise....new goodies! {Yes, this is a NON-STAMPIN' UP! post folks...brace yourself ok? hee hee...}

Remember a while back when I showed you the sugar beads card that Loretta taught us at last month's stamping group? Well...I purchased this Tim Holtz Santa stamp with this technique in mind and I wanted to show Leanne how to do it. And....well, we just *HAD* to make a full card tonight .... here's mine:


Stamps: Santa Letter by Tim Holtz; Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive; Ink: Versafine Crimson Red; Accessories: finial press embossing folder, old olive ribbon, button, hemp twine, pearls, scallop trim punch, scallop edge punch, dimensionals, sugar beads, sookwang adhesive paper, pearls, Christmas rub-on's

Isn't it just go-juss???? I absolutely LOVE this technique! I might even make all my Christmas cards using the sugar beads. They are so pretty....a bit of bling and antique-i-ness all in one :)

My card tonight qualifies for the Stampin' Royalty challenge of "Ribbons," Tuesday Throwdown - "Anything Goes," Charisma Cardz Challenge - "Vintage," Fussy and Fancy - "Winter Wonderland," Pals Paper Arts - "Bring on the Bling."

Thanks for stopping in - I'll be back sometime this weekend to show you the cards and projects we will be making this weekend. Have a good one!
