Glitterbabe New DT Introductions and Challenge #14

WOOT WOOT!! The time has finally arrived and I am "officially" introduced on the Glitterbabe DT...you can check out all the new members HERE!

The challenge over at Glitterbabe this week is wet or dry embossing and don't forget the sparkly stuff!!! To go directly to the challenge post click HERE!

And for this week we are being sponsored by: Ellaphantastic Cards and Crafts


Helen was kind enough to give the DT members a digi to use on our projects this week! And here is my first Glitterbabe DT card! I heat embossed the outside of the main inverted scallop with gold and dry embossed the smaller red inverted scallops with the Cuttlebug Snow Dots folder. Colored the image with my Copics, added some gold glitter to the snowmans buttons and finished off the ground with some Polar White Flowersoft! Isn't he adorable?? I just love that little birdie on his hat!



I have a quick question for you....how many of you would like to know exactly which Copics I use for my cards?? I have left it out so far because it is an extra step I would have to take for my posts but if you really would like to know which ones I use I would be more than happy to share! I just don't want to do the extra work if nobody cares! LOL! So if I have several of you that say, "yes yes yes...please share!" than your wish is my command! :)

Alrighty, now for the challenges!

Guessing Game Winner!

I really enjoyed reading all the guesses yesterday on my food picture! I couldn't believe I had 18 different people try and guess....I was so pleased to see you wanted to play along! :) I must say it was so much fun I hope to do it again sometime!! The correct answer was PERSIMMON!!! :) A neighbor of my parents has given me about 3 buckets full and I have managed to get about 14 cups of pulp out of it to freeze for recipes later! All squeezed through a mesh bag by hand...yes, it took awhile! :P
So 6 people guessed correctly and I put those names in a hat and as I was mixing them up one flopped out of the hat so just figured that was a good sign that should be my winner and that person is ............................drum roll....................................Lou Lou Shive!!!!

Congrats! Please e-mail me with your mailing address by October 3rd and I will send you a surprise pack of goodies!! Thanks again to everyone for playing my little guessing game!

Hugs!
