It's all about embellishments

Hurray...it's February 1st!  That, of course, means that January is over and we are that much closer to spring.  Hopefully Mother Nature is listening!   Now for a bit more good news...this month I am lucky enough to be Guest Designer at the ABC Challenge.  How sweet is that!  This worked out great, due to the amount of time I've been spending in my craft room....I am not a winter person!

The challenge today is to use 3 or more Embellishments, and of course there are some lovely prizes to be won from two wonderful sponsors....Kenny K and Bunny Zoe's Crafts.  Be sure to check out the challenge blog for more details and for all the inspirational projects from the DT.


Here I've made a card using the Teen Idol image, provided by our sponsor.  Isn't he a cutie...love that smile and bit of attitude!  You will see metal brads, paper candi and arrows made with peel-offs for my embellishments.  No bows or flowers to be used here!

The DP is from MME, and I cut along the zig-zag edges to create the border.  Something just a little bit different.

Thanks for stopping by, and I do hope you get the chance to join in this challenge.

Now for some challenges for my card:

The Squirrel and the Fox - #62 Use embellishments
Crafty Sentiments - Recipe
Cards Galore Encore - #2 Bling
Created with Love - #74 Anything Goes
Winter Wonderland - Digi Days
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge - #216 Anything goes
