Hope all my lovely Followers have started to wind down this festive season and recharging the batteries for 2014.
Fresh Brewed Designs has got a wonderful Candy Challenge running and I was tempted to play along. One need to use a Fresh Brewed Image to play along, so I went and purchased these funky girls called Totally 80's, here. The girls were coloured with Copics. The design papers are all from my stash and scraps file, so too the buttons. The embellishments were created with a Fold It Swirls template. The sentiment is from Eureka Stamps and can be purchased here.
I would like to try my hand with this card, over at the following challenges:
Thanks once again for all your wonderful visits here at my little space in blog land and for all the inspirational comments you leave - please know that each and every comment is treasured. Leaving you with pics of jars of fudge I made for our Family Christmas get together, held last weekend. The fudge took me about 3 days to make on the stove top, but it was all worth it to see the happy faces receiving it.
{Please remember to pop in here again on Christmas Day, as there is a lovely give away surprise scheduled!!}

First of all, let me say, OMGoodness, are you keeerazy? Making all that candy? Oh heavens, I'd lose my mind--what's left of it anyway. BTW, fudge does not turn out here in the desert--it's too dry. I used to make great fudge in Georgia and Minnesota, but there was a lot of humidity in both places. That really seemed to help. Ah yes, I digress...
ReplyDeleteBack to your card! I love it! Really cute image! Love the coloring and pretty blue palette you chose! Love your die cuts and special embellies on this, too! And the sentiment is fabulous! :^)
Hugs, Penny
Hope you and the penguins have a wonderful Christmas! :^)
This is gorgeous Desire. I like the image, the papers and the flowers you made.

The 80's are still as fresh in my mind today as you have depicted on this wonderfully 80's card Desire ....must be a sign of how fast time passed as one 'matures' I just love the fresh, youthful feel that you have achieved and your big bold folded embellishments are so in keeping with the theme of this card. It's brilliant and I've enjoyed it so much. Good luck in our extended challenge. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )

Have a blessed week and a very lovely Christmas as we celebrate the greatest gift ever gicen - Jesus Christ - the Savior of the world. I pray that you will know Him and trust Him, and that He will bless you in the coming year. Draw close to God and He will draw close to you!
Be blessed,
