Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you are having a great week so far...I can't believe the week is half gone already!! So much to do and so little time....Christmas baking, Christmas cards to send out, Christmas shopping (although I am almost done...Woohoo!!)...
Well today I have two challenge creations to share with you since today it is time for another Creative Belli and Your Next Stamp Challenge.
My first creation is for the Your Next Stamp (YNS) challenge hosted by Jenny. Jenny challenged the team and our players to create a CAS Christmas creation. How fun is that?!
I must admit that I just love my details and layers so CAS does not come easy for me. LOL!
For my card I used the Ellie Love to Skate image which I colored with copics. The dp was from my one of my very fave Christmas paper (Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather). The border on the bottom is cut with an EK Success half snowflake punch which I recently purchased at AC Moore. The sentiment was typed out on my PC. The top I embossed with a snowflake folder from Cuttlebug.
To match my CAS card I made a tag. The tag uses the Ellie Loves to skate Mini image from YNS and Skating Accessories. The ric rac is scraps from my stash. The snowflake is a button I purchased a couple years ago in an array of buttons.
For more inspiration for the YNS challenge, please visit my dt sisters:

As always we have two prizes for you to win:
1. Winner – one lucky winner will be chosen by random.org to win $10 in YNS Stamp Bucks (to spend on YNS stamps) and the Winner Blinkie to proudly display on their blog!
2. Top Pick – one lucky entry, chosen by the YNS DT, will win $5 in YNS Stamp Bucks (to spend on YNS stamps) and the Top Pick Blinkie to proudly display on their blog! [NB You must use a YNS stamp on your creation to be eligible to win the Top Pick prize].
*********************
My second creation is for the Creative Belli Challenge. This week the team is challenging to use Christmas embellishments, colors, stamps, paper, etc. on your cards or projects.
With every challenge we encourage you to use your
OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments.
Here is my take on the Creative Belli Challenge using the adorable Sweets of the Season Stamp set from Flourishes sent to me by my dear friend, Crystal. Thanks Crystal!!
As you can see I had tons of fun adding all kinds of bling and details to my creation to make it more festive and fun!! The dp is from Basic Grey. The images are colored with copics. The circle surrounding the image is Spellbinders Beaded Circles dies.
