Hope You Can Cling To Challenge 8

Echo Park & Great Impressions Blog Hop Click Here

Happy Saturday and thanks for taking the time to visit the charmed life blog. Nothing really to report today. I have spent the last 2 days making cards. Trying to catch up on the Hope You Can Cling To challenges on Splitcoaststampers. These are being made for the UT MD Cancer Center in Houston Tx. I have enough now to do my first mailing this week.

When you are playing catch up sometimes you don't pay close attention to the rules. I made a birthday card this morning for one of the challenges only to find out after I was finished and card photographed that I made it in the wrong color (lol)!!. I really liked the colors I used but it wont work for this challenge. My neighbors birthday is today so I will give it to her and make another one for this challenge.

So onto my card for today. This is one I made for Lori's challenge #8. She wanted us to take the letters HYCCT and use them in your card or project. This was a bit tricky but I did it creatively.

 H- half circle

Y- Yea - as my affirmative vote for Lori's challenge

C- Christmas Carol -"joy to the world"

C- Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

T- Triangle

Card Details: I used the MFT die "dizzy doily" and cut it out in Stampin-Up's  raspberry ripple for one of the sketch circles.

I used a Spellbinder circle die for the other circle in this layout and cut it out in pink pirouette. I stamped this circle with a Verve stamp from the "winter wonder" set. My sentiment is also from this same Verve set.

Christmas tree image is from the JustRite set "O Christmas Tree" stamped in lucky limeade. It is die cut with a Spellbinders pennants die.

Punched a snowflake in pink pirouette to complete my card. My card layout is this sketch from the MojoMonday sketch challenge #259.

Well that 's it for me for today. It's late and church in the morning. So until next time........God bless.
