Olympics!

Hello everyone! Wednesday and what a blissful day it has been, so nice to be able to sleep in and catch up on some needed sleep and not have to worry about rushing to work...

I hope you have had a quiet and productive day as well...

So today is yes, Wednesday and that means a new fun challenge to start over at Simon Says...this week the DT are sharing projects based around celebrations that are headed our way, that being the Olympics and 4th of July..

I decided to create a card using the fabulous technique that Jennifer McGuire has shared and one that I want to use on just about every creation..burnishing glitter!



I created a card based around the Olympics and what better way to show case this then to use the Olympic rings right?  That is exactly what I chose, with some die cutting of the various colours, all I needed to do was to burnish the glitter..I added this onto a card that was embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder and a sentiment to match the theme.

You will so want to check out the DT creations this week, there are some awesome crafting involved with these beauties...to check them out and the Challenge deets just click the blinkie below..



The wonderful Heidi as normal will be giving one lucky winner $50 voucher to spend in store..



Okay well that is about me for tonight! Well almost, did you notice anything different here at the little old blog...yes a change...have been looking for something new and I am really liking this clean look, I hope you do too???

Have a fabulous night or day!

Hugs!

Love your new header. Might be hard for you to be thinking summer when you are headed into your cold time, or might actually be in it. He on my side of the country it has not really decided to be summer yet, we did actually have some gorgeous sunshine, followed quickly by rain. Not good for all the strawberries that are being harvested right now.
Love your yo-yos in the next post. And love you Olympic rings. Our LSS had every color of glitter paper that one could imagine, but could not buy as dear daughter's eye appt. and new glasses set us back about $500 today, and we don't use charge cards, just cash and debit cards, so the money must be there, and this was a definitely not-planned for expense. Oh well, her new glasses will be very stylish, and the paper will wait for another day.
Hope you enjoyed a bit of free time to craft.
