Good Morning everyone!! Today is our Saturday Challenge #16! I am so delighted to be on this team and love working with Robyn’s images, don’t you?!?!

Your challenge for this week is to create a card/paper craft project using the recipe below

Recipe Challenge

2 patterned papers

2 colors of card stock

2 ribbons

2 types of sparkle

2 buttons

I chose “The Bucket of Snowballs” digi download to create with.

In order to challenge myself even more, I picked the image first before looking at the details of the challenge. I almost shot myself in the foot though, I was perplexed on how I was going to get 2 buttons into this paper project I tell ya!

I had a great piece of inspiration from non other than my little Hannah. She made this during our recent trip to Story Time on Monday. I think it’s just right!

I wanted to make a very special card for our neighbor Jay, who was SO kind to shovel us out while we were away on vacation. Being a good neighbor is important but being an appreciative one is even more important! I made this card for him and plan to pop a little gift card to their favorite Saloon for all his hard and generous labor.  (You can click on the images for a larger view)

I did not want to make this too sparkly, Jay is just not that type of guy! I did however want to make it cool, which I realized I did when my hubby came in and said, “Is THAT puffy paint?”. I then had to explain the wonder of Liquid Applique, it’s one of my favorite things to play with!! I also used some Stickles and rhinestone bling for the detailing, which was a lot of fun!

For the inside of my card, I stamped the little penguin and colored him in. I then added some puff to him too!

The black and white DP serves as a holder for the gift card as well. I loved creating this card, now I get to give it away!

Have a wonderful Saturday!
