I Wonder What This Is.....

Do you put your presents under the tree before Santa arrives on Christmas Eve? I can see every child I know shaking the presents like this digital image named I Wonder What This Is is doing. This image is by The Paper Shelter.  The challenge for the next three weeks at The Paper Shelter Blog is ANYTHING GOES.

 

I used snowflake dies by Whimsy and Spellbinders (with Frantage on them), and the corner diecut is by LaLa Land. I colored the image with Copics and dyed my lace using ink refills. I was generous with my Stardust Stickles on the ribbons of the packages. I'm sorry that glitter doesn't photograph well because these packages looks pretty good in person. The sentiment in the bottom corner is by Cardz TV. I won a page of sentiments in the Paper Playtime Challenge in November.

 

You have 3 weeks to enter this challenge. I'd like to suggest you enter with an image by The Paper Shelter.  Why?  Because you can win a prize that is three times more than if you make a card with a non-Paper Shelter image! Spend $3 and get a black and white image, color image, a background, AND the color image on the color background....and if you win, you get $30 to spend in the store!

 

 

Wrapping this up....please check out the Design Team's cards for a bit of inspiration. At this time of the year so many of us don't take an hour or two to recharge our own batteries since we're spread so thin to get things done. I use my crafting as a way to unwind and relax. If you do, too, take a little time and make a card for this challenge. And use a Paper Shelter image!!!
