It's wednesday and it's time for our CRAFTY CREATIONS CHALLENGE, I am hosting and we have such a cool SPONSOR this week again...yep, our own DEENA, and you can find them at A Creative Need's Etsy shop. My challenge  for you this week is:

Use a recycled item on your card or project or if you are daring 3 as in recycle, recycle, recycle. The theme can be whatever you choose.

I used Deena's cute snowman she created just for the upcoming holidays, stop by her shop; and find more images for the holidays. My recycled items are the charm Christmas tree and snowflakes used on other cards lost in my stash. I thought maybe this year I could do that instead of buying new ones I won't use! I also used little cut out sentiment that were  simply waiting to be used from...yeah you guessed it last year!

So have fun and join us by linking your card to our blog for a chance to win beautiful images.

Hello, Glad you could drop by today because I have alot of special stuff I used on my card today from our SPONSORS. I have EMBOSSING CREAM, this cute Inked Cute Dress Maker from the Paper Shelter.Talking about special, I did use a side step card which you can find the tutorial from Beate on Splitcoaststampers.

A close-up of where I used the embossing cream from Viva Decor on my biggest panel. I used a simple scroll stencil and added it to the panel, used my hot iron and it became all sparkly and fluffy. Cool!

 I made a special row of bling since today's 

challenge does say BLING IT ON!

 And did some "wear and tear" sanding

 on this frame for a vintagy look and added the pretty Circle B enterprise ribbon.

Here is a little bit about STRECH N' BUBBLES:

I really started “Scrapbooking/Card making” in 1996 when my dear friend Lisa Bearnson introduced to her new magazine Creating Keepsakes.. after that I was HOOKED!.. I do both scrapbooking and card making.. I have been published in many magazines, worked for Creating Keepsakes as a designer for products sold on QVC, and won many contests. I am the owner of Do You Stack Up?! Challenge blog, Free Digital Stamps blog, & Stretch N' Bubbles Digital Stamps blog/store. I quickly fell in love with the idea of digital stamps. Not having to find a spot to keep them,being able to get your product instantly, and buying one size fit's all.. I was on board! I have never taken an art class.. I just started doodling and putting them online. My free digital stamps within 2-3 days were getting 500 downloads, so I  thought if there were that many people who liked my designs. I should start a little store.. and Stretch N' Bubbles was born.. Now you might ask yourself, how did you get the name Stretch N' Bubbles? Well my dad "poppie" gives all the grandchildren "magic names" and my son's magic name is Stretch, and yep you guessed it..my daughters magic name is "Bubbles".. so I put them together and came up with that name.. Thanks so much to all of you for helping support my dream..HUGS

CRAFTY SENTIMENTS 

I really enjoyed playing with this cutie pie  by Crafty Sentiments and had to use the sketch Victoria's (Vixx Handmade Cards) used on her card from last week's. I do warn you  though, if you stop by her blog, you might stay all day! I just loved the whole card and had to use this double sided design paper from ScribbleScrabble.net, the name of the collection is Felicity  - ferns, flowers & Gumdrops had in my drawer for some time. I just love the flowers on one side and the polka dot on the other.
