Make it Monday Challenge #3

Hey Everyone!

Yes, I am alive! This three-day weekend was MUCH needed to get caught up on some housekeeping and crafting. I've been dying to join in on PTI's Make it Monday Challenges and now I've actually had time to play along. First off, I apologize for the photos. The Nikon was sent off for cleaning and repair and we're still waiting to get it back. Additionally, the point and shoot camera is nowhere to be found so I'm left with the camera on my phone. I tried to take the photos in the best natural light, but the colors still vary a bit from photo to photo so I apologize.



In this week's video, Dawn McVey showed an easy little trick to add some major glitz to any card by using Scor-tape and glitter. I'm not saying that this was the ONLY reason I made Brian stop at Hobby Lobby while we were out and about earlier today, but...well...maybe it was.



After making a 4x4 card base out of Rustic White cardstock, I used Martha Stewarts Crafts glitter to add two strips of glitter to Pure Poppy cardstock along with a strip of Aqua Mist cardstock.

Then I stamped the "FABULOUS" sentiment from Say It With Style in Dark Chocolate ink. Don't you just love how sparkly it all is!



I used the dress form die to make another little embellishment and stamped it with one of the images from Damask Designs and popped on an Aqua Mist button. I topped the whole thing off with some ribbon and faux pearls just to make sure I had enough girly touches on it! :-)



I certainly got a lot of crafting done this weekend so keep your eyes open for a few more posts this week, plus PTI's Blog Hop on the 25th! I hope you all had a great weekend (and a fabulous Monday if it wasn't a holiday for you) and thanks for stopping by!
