Regional card competition entry

This card is one I made for a card competition at Regionals. I wanted to make it a little different to stand out by rounding the corners, making the matching envelope, and glittering the clear buttons. I also used paper from three different paper packs. It didn't even make the top five. :( Oh well, I was proud of it and had fun making it. That's all that matters.

Materials: All CTMH. Christmas Melodies ss, Jingle L2pp, Magic Moments L2pp, Perfect Day L2pp, Juniper ink, embroidery floss, clear buttons, prisma glitter, 3d dots, Wishes envelope template, EK corner punch.

Cards made at Regionals

Here are some fun cards we made with the Jingle paper pack. I altered almost all of the cards to suit my tastes. ;) Pretty much the first card is the only one I did exactly like they instructed. Notice on my "celebrate" and "deck the halls" that when I put glitter glue on the sentiment that it changed the ink color. Boo! My friend Nona warned me that this would happen, but I don't listen well sometimes. ;)

Layout from Regionals

Too cute right?! Twitterpated is my favorite paper pack from this Idea Book. Using the matching My Stickease made this layout fun and a breeze! A few buttons, sparkles, and liquid glass and easy-peasy! Done! I totally flew through this layout and was just chilling while the rest of the group finished. Hee hee!

Notice the cool embossed scalloped edge on the cocoa cardstock? That was made with the negative space left over from the title sticker. Such a neat trick! I also learned how to "leather" cardstock with and ink pad. Used that technique in my card class last night.

More fun things to share later!

My goodies from CTMH's Regional Celebration!

SUPER quick post....need to leave for a meeting....

First off....YAY!! GLEE'S ON TONIGHT!! I'll have to watch it tomorrow since I'm going to my meeting tonight. :( At least shows are back!

So here are all my goodies I received while at CTMH's Regional Celebration in Portland this last weekend. Look at all this stuff!! It's like $190 worth! More than what I paid to register!

Five stamp sets, a FULL paper packet, embellishments (full ones on some of those too), rub-ons, card kits, scrapbook layout kits (enough for 10 people for a workshop!), MyStickease, dimentional elements..... AWESOME!

These last two are things I WON! I guess for being cool. ;)

I can't wait for the next one! And incase you were wondering, those little Michelin Man-looking things on my name badge are "Sticky Boys". He's the first My Acrylics that Jeanette and CTMH developed and the staff randomly placed them in odd spots around the convention center for us to find. I found my first on the mirror in the ladies room, then quickly found another on the inside of my stall door! So fun!

Ok, TTFN. Gotta go! I'll share more later.
