Debi's Crazy Life;

Good morning all.  This weeks Papertake Weekly challenge is called "Sparkly and Bright" .  It seemed the perfect opportunity to post the first Christmas card of the year.  I made this one earlier this month and have been waiting for the perfect challenge to slide it into.  My snowflakes are embossed in silver on violet card stock then cut out with these super cool new dies that Our Daily Bread Designs sells to match many of their stamp sets.

Grace thought it would be a great idea to make her some fresh samples with some of the older sets so I pulled out one of my all time favorites, "Keep My Lamp Burning".   Once again my card is fairly simple.  I masked the light house and added color by sponging.  I added a bit of ribbon and a bunch of black brads and just a pop of red to keep things interesting. Now it is time to you to hop over to Julie's blog and check out what loveliness she has to share.  Then on to visit Chris and Sabrina . ...
