My project for today is another easel card...not what I had planned but I found out today what acetate cant do...joy! So I had the papers out and whipped out this card.. a little smaller version.Used Pop dots to raise the layer over the mirror paper. I am having trouble taking the photos due to that mirror paper...will try again for a better shot. I did another cut from The Love Struck cartridge with the metallic red paper added a mirror embellishment from Creating Keepsakes....joy I only have 2 of these left sure will miss them they went into clearance and I grabbed all I could and topped it off with a Jolee rose sticker....another easy fast card!

Now for my RAK another one of my Diva Post It Holders....again I used the "crock" paper for the cover. And a flower I made from some bargain flowers that turned out NOT to be a bargain...but I made 'em look pretty! Here is how I did them and what they looked like before..http://brenda-365daysofjoy.blogspot.com/2010/02/day-34.html

Bo Bunny Midnight Frost mini cover

I finally got the covers done for the mini albums I been working on for my daughter in law and her friend.
I glimmer misted the flower added bling, stickles & feathers. Used the Winter Wonderland cartridge.I really struggled on my cover first I had it figured for white and silver Primas ...wasn't happy with that then went with bringing some blue in...I also took the stylus to the flower cuts from the Forever Young cartridge
