Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - Holiday

Happy Friday!! What are your plans for the weekend?? I will be celebrating Christmas early with my sister and her family, so I will be out of town until Sunday evening. I will visit all of your blogs when I get back :)  It's time for another Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces!! The theme this week  is a fun one...any "Holiday" card project or layout.

For my Holiday card, I started with paper from My Mind's Eye All is Bright Paper stack. The edges were distressed with a Zutter Distress-it-All for a shabby chic look.

The angel is from Tim Holtz Joyful Song stamp set...I just love this stamp :) It was stamped with Versafine ink in Onyx and then embossed with Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder in Black.

The ornament is a Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments 2011 die. "A Joyful Christmas" is from the same Joyful Song set, stamped with Fired Brick and then embossed with Fired Brick Distress Ink. The ornament was popped up with foam tape for dimension. The swirl gems and individual gems are from Recollections. The ribbon is from May Arts, the button from my stash.

I am linking this up with the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp - What's Your Favorite (Spellbinders, Tim Holtz and MME)

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend!! I got quite a bit of my Christmas shopping done, but I still have some to go. Don't you just love wrapping presents listening to Christmas music with all the festive lights on :)

Most of you know that my style is pretty much the opposite of CAS. I love layers and bling. But the current challenge at Crafty Friends is CAS. My sweet and incredibly talented friend Beate of Fresh and Fun guided me to a new challenge blog where I could find inspiration for CAS cards, CAS(E) this Sketch. So I used the current sketch as a guide for my card.

The layers of the card were cut with Spellbinders Matting Basics A and B. The base layer was embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The next layer was inked with Sprout Memento Ink. The flower images are from Tim Holtz Nature's Elements stamp set. They were stamped with Fired Brick Distress Ink and then embossed with Fired Brick Embossing Powder. It was then inked with Sprout Memento ink and popped up with foam tape for dimension. The lace ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs Scripture Sayings stamp set.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Crafty Friends Challenge #12 - CAS
2. CAS(E) this Sketch #8 (see sketch below)
   
3. DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge - Red and Green
4. Sunday Funday #4 - Anything Goes
