I am a few days late. The Melonheadz Challenge is to create a Christmas card. I choose to use Gina's Winter Bundle. I need more Thank you cards for Christmas than Christmas cards so I thought this would be perfect. I used Close To My Heart washi tape and rhinestones to add some sparkle. Liquid pearls is my snow.

Beach Owl
This is a image is from Kaboodle Bug Designs. I finally figured out how to do the cut and print on my Silhouette. I added glossy accents to his eyes and distress stickles to the sand. I inked the ball to give it dimension. It fits Cut it Up challenge of summer. The second challenge is Parade your Crafts with a Summer theme. I love nothing better in summer than spending time at the beach.
Flowers, Flowers, Flowers
Welcome to Melonheadz challenge. The challenge is to use lots of flowers. I used two different sets. My time is short so I used the colored version of both sets. Valentine's Day 2013 bundle & Mikella's deluxe embellies bundle are the two bundles I used. I think this would be perfect to cheer up some one.
