Hello Everyone!! Today is Saturday and time for another Saturday Spotlight Challenge. I just love how these challenges think outside the box!!
This week we would like you to think "bigger is better"! Use oversized bit items, accessories, images etc. that may even be too large for your card!! Get out all those BIG things and use them!



For our Spotlight sponsor this week we have...Michelle's Scrapbooking and more!

Click HERE to go to store.

**One lucky winner who participates in this week's challenge will be randomly chosen to win drawn a set of Hannah stamps release by Sandra Hammer which is perfect for A2 cards and a $10 gift certificate from the store!!
How cool is that?!**






And here is my take for this week's challenge:




For my creations I used the Bella Blooms big flower and the sentiment. The colors are Baja Breeze and Brown. I used Mercy's sketch #58 to create this card. I did add an extra layer with the top not die that I cut in half to add some curves.




I used the template from Leigh Ann Baird called the Able Gable template to create this little gift box. Another super easy and fun template!!! This is actually a pretty roomy little box, so the options are endless! I used it to put Lindt Chocolates in for my dear sister in law for her birthday. The leaves with the flower are created with gingham ribbon. The flower is cute into layers and popped up with dimensionals.


Card Recipe:
Stamps: Bella Blossoms- Stampin Up (SU)
Paper Baja Breeze, soft sky, Bitter chocolate, white,
Accessories: Top Note dies (Sizzix-Stampin Up), Victoria Cuttlebug Folder, Swiss Dots embossing folder,Oval punches from SU, Memory Box ribbon

Able Gable Box:
Able Gable template from Leigh Ann Baird
Stamp: Bella Blossoms SU
Paper: SEI Scrap piece of dp, white, Bitter Chocolate Bazzill
Accessories: SU oval punches, Baja Breeze ribbon from SU (retired), ZVA Creative Pearls, silver baubles, swiss dots embossing folder
