Happy New Year and a new set of challenges....

The New Year brings a new set of Christmas challenges over on Splitcoaststampers AND we are in a new spot. We are now going to post the challenges each month in the Fan Club Forum so that everyone can see the challenge and play along each month. If you are not a Fan Club Member check it out, worth the small price and you get to see the Dirty Dozen galleries each month! On to our first challenge of the new year....

Christmas Wedding! Be inspired by the traditions of wedding with something Borrowed, Blue, Old or New. Use all three use only 1 you choose. Link up your creations to the thread in the FC Forum HERE. Be sure to put SCSCCJAN13 so we can find your creations as well.
I thought I would start the year off with a simple creation and a for the most part flat rate mailer. This embossing folder is new to me. I sponged the textured with blue bliss ink after embossed, I added some fairy dust for sparkle to all the textures as well.  My sentiment is from a retired set called Christmas Wreath that I stamped onto classic white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink. Some silver cord seemed appropriate so I added that along with some Color Made Easy True Blue collection paper. A few aqua kaiser rhinestones and a  true blue button finishes it off! Easy Peasy and 1 down for the year, whohoo!!! Hope you can play along with us this year!
