So you don't have to share

While all you procrastinators are scrambling to get your Christmas cards done, I'll be relaxing in the tub with a glass of champagne!  Hee hee!

Well, today is the last challenge of the year for CSAYL and although I'll miss my fabulous team, I'm so glad to have all of my holiday goodies FINISHED.  Kenny K is sponsoring us this week and there are 5 free digis up for grabs to 3 lucky winners !

Our challenge this week is to use the following photo from Pinterest as inspiration...

Here's what I came up with using a brand new image called "Girl Gift"...

I used Pear Pizazz cardstock for the base and lots and lots of glitter on the main image.

I thought this sentiment by SU matched the Kenny K image perfectly.

You can check out all of the new Christmas images by Kenny K right here.  If you'd like to play along with us, hop on over to the CSAYL challenge blog for all the juicy details and samples from the rest of my fabulous team.

Heavy Metal Holiday

Hold on to your Christmas stockings, because CSAYL has a new sponsor today!

Digi and rubber stamps from KennyK are a fun and edgy way to add the perfect dose of attitude and style to all of your creations! Kenny and Elena were generous enough to donate digi images this week to three, count em' THREE, lucky winners!! First place will get their choice of 3, Second place will get their choice of 2 and Third place will get their choice of 1!

This week we're going "Heavy Metal".

I want all you rockin' ladies to bust out that metal hardware and use it on your holiday card or project.  Metal frames, tags, brads, eyelets, pins - whatever floats your boat!

Here's what I came up with...

This uber-adorable image is called "Xmas Shopping" and I just love her!

She was so much fun to color with my Copics.  I popped up a few parts of the image with dimensionals for some added layers and *pop*.

Check out that little pearl earring - love it!

For the "Heavy Metal" part, I used silver brads to frame the main image and a mini library clip on the sentiment.  Be sure to check out KennyK's FAB shop and then hop on over to the CSAYL blog to play along with us!

After I did this card, I did some perusing around the web and found some new challenges that I could enter with my card.  Holy-Moly!  There are a bunch of really great challenge sites out there!  I've never done this before, but what the heck, here goes....
