Just a quick post for me today, but first I want to welcome my blog's newest follower. Thanks for joining me; I'm so glad to have you along!
I was inspired to play along with the challenge at Scrapbooker's Paradise, and there is still a few hours to play along :) This week, the challenge is to CASE yourself (and try to improve on your design). I made this card last year (post here) and I knew at the time that I wanted to revisit it. Well, let me tell you, my current card has cured me of that!
Image - House Mouse coloured with Distress inks
Baubles - I created the frame in SCAL2, all others are Stampin' Up
Stamps - Impression Obsession & Tim Holtz (backgrounds stamped with embossing ink), Stampin' Up (baubles stamped with Stormy Sky DI), Close to my Heart (flourish border on frame stamped with embossing ink) Everything has been embossed with either opaque white or iridescent ice (or both) embossing powders
Paper - pearlescent white and shimmery Bazzill card
Other- ribbon from stash, pearls, MS border punch
This card is for the following challenges:
Scrapbooker's Paradise (Playing in Paradise) - CASE yourself
Fashionista Challenge - Blue Christmas
Hanna and Friends - Animals
One Stop Craft Challenge - monochrome
Papertake Weekly - Ribbons and pearls
Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Contemporary Colours
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Recipe (I've got ribbon, pearls and a MS edge punch)
Winter Wonderland - Oh baubles
Thanks for popping by and for taking the time to leave a comment. I love reading them and having the chance to visit you too.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Dawn

Both cards are gorgeous. I really love the bauble design and colours. Your second CASE card is wonderful, the image is adorable and the shaker design is brilliant. I love all the shimmery bits.

They are both gorgeous Dawn but I love blue and House Mice so this one stole my heart. Your design is wonderful and your details are stunning. Your little mousies are beautiful and looked adorable wrapped in the shaker.

Dawn, both cards are sweet, but I REALLY love the HM card - with the soft glow and gorgeous layers. It's magical! So pretty.
These are both very pretty cards! I'm not sure which one I like better.

Both cards are so sweet! Love all the ornaments, and the image on the blue one is so cute! Great designs!!

I think this is a stunning CASE! I love the soft blues - and glitter always kills me when it comes to shaker cards! I find micro-beads are a bit better static-wise :)
to case yourself can be really challenging :) both cards are absolutely adorable. I never did a shaker card before hmm looking at yours I might give it a try it looks so cute! The hint above with micro beads is a good one, with my cats trying with any glitter could turn into a real and big mess *smile*
have a wonderful week
hugs!

The other comments say it all - they're both lovely! I have the same problem with shaker cards; someone suggested a tumble dryer sheet wiped over the acetate first would get rid of any static. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my tights!!! Tracey x

Wow, this is adorable. I mean, this is too cute to give away...I'd have to put it in a plastic sleeve and tack it on the wall in my craft room and just sit and admire it when I'm too tired to color. :) This is really really cute. I know that photos don't do a card justice, either...but if it's this cute in the photo, it's triple cuter in person. Hugs, Gail
