Creative Belli Challenge

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog.

It's time for another creative belli challenge.

This challenge officially starts my time on the design team with the rest of the Belli Girls.
I am so excited to be a part of this talented team.

This week our challenge is snow. It can include stamps, ribbon, brads, buttons, glitter, patterned paper, chipboard, stickers or anything that is snow themed. It just has to be a new project.

This challenge runs from January 5th thru January 18th. for the belli challenges, we are encouraging you to use your old and forgotten embellishments.

For my card I used some wrapping paper from Christmas 2009 that I recycled. I just thought it was too cute to throw away. I loved the snowmen on the paper. I am going to make some Christmas cards for 2011 using this layout and technique.

For this project I cut one of the snowmen out and traced the image onto chipboard. I mounted the snowman on the chipboard to give it dimension. I cut a cherry cobbler scalloped rectangle and placed my image on that.

I used some May Arts velvet ribbon an  did ribbon ruching across the top. I love this look and have used it a lot lately. A simple thanks sentiment completed my card.

Take a look at what the rest of the design team has done.  You definitely wont be disappointed.
