Do you ever have one of those days when nothing you want to do on a card works? That was yesterday for me when I tried to create this card. Arg!!! I think I cut each of the layers 2 or 3 times out of different patterns of paper. I could NOT get the colors to work and the patterns didn't work. Finally, I decided to use the paper I had in mind in the first place and lo and behold, it worked!! And I love it!! Here it is:
Now it's time to head on over to the CSAYL blog and see what else the DT has up their sleeves.
Challenges:
Loves to Scrap--anything goes
Verve November Diva Dare--shape up! (use a common shape. All my layers are rectangles and I used three snowflakes)
Fab n Funky #193--anything goes
Crafting by Designs--anything goes with the twist of Christmas
Crafter's Cafe #37--embellish like a crazy person (I used ribbon, snowflake punchouts, buttons, and glitter)

Divas by Design--something snowy (snowflake punches; snowflakes on the red panel)

Southern Girls--sweets for my sweet (anything sweeter than a cupcake?)
Crafty Ribbons #70--anything goes with ribbon

Stripes on the paper, stripes on the candy - perfect! I was reading about your journey to arrive at this card...the whole time thinking that the card was amazing so why the note about nothing working???!!! Now I understand, yes, I too do it all the time. It takes me FOREVER to make a card some days ;>)
