Ornaments all a Glitter!

Order now for the best selection. And don't forget you can earn hostess benefits for orders over $200.
And on to today's card....
Today I am featuring a card that I made for the Playing in Paradise Challenge. The challenge was to create a circular card. My card is an ornament using the Glimmer Paper (of course! I just love this stuff!) and some cork (lots of uses for this too!). The candy canes were cut out using the Stocking Accents die and then decorated with the glimmer paper. And the inspiration for this card was a card that was created by Mary Fish that I fell in love with. I hope you like it!

Project Completed!

As I mentioned yesterday I attended the Jingle Bell Crop on the weekend. And I managed to work on some unfinished projects. One of those projects was my Christmas Keepsake Box. I have had this box since August when it was offered to demonstrators and new recruits who signed up in July. Well, this week Shelli Gardner (founder and CEO of Stampin' Up) and her daughter taped a livestream webcast where they actually made the box and you could do yours along with them. I wasn't able to do it on Thursday night when it was live but I did watch the video on Saturday and created my box along with Shelli and Sara.
It is simply gorgeous! And so here is my box...

And by the way, Stampin' Up is now offering this box to all customers for only $24.95 (item #129024). You can place your order online or you can email me your order today. Get yours today as they are only being offered while quantities last.
And when you purchase the project kit, I encourage you to go to https://livestream.com/stampinuptv  to watch the video while you create your own.

Mojo Monday #204

The sun was back today and I am very happy about that. Although we did only have one day of rain and I don't have to worry about watering my lawn, which is a good thing.
Yesterday was my son's 14th birthday and it was a really nice family day...well family night I guess once we all got home from work.

Here is the card I did today for the Mojo Monday Sketch #204.

here is the sketch....








And here is my card....

I used the new Christmas Lodge stamp set, featured in the Holiday Mini which will be out on September 1.
