3-D Challenge

Today’s challenge at Our Creative Corner  is a 3-D project. I had such fun with this! I actually made something else first and then decided to do this. I’ll show the other item in about another week for a blog hop. Anyway…after I finished this project, I decided what it would be perfect for!! It would be perfect for my son to put the ring in when he proposes to his fiance! She says she’s a “daddy’s girl” and so my son wanted to meet her father and ask his permission to marry his daughter before he officially asked her to marry him. He’s been meeting her family for the last week and will be home today. They set a date while spending time with her family and so she’s ready for a ring! But he wanted the official proposal to be romantic and special so that’ll happen soon. Wouldn’t this be the perfect box to put her ring in??!!!

Here’s What I Used:
Stamps:  All Holidays, I{heart} Hearts,
Paper:  Christmas Cocoa, Real Red, Whisper White,
Ink:  Basic Black, Real Red,
Accessories:  Scallop Trim Border punch, Wide Organdy White ribbon, Box pattern #30 from SU pattern site, MS tag punch, Dimensionals,

Let It Snow!

The OCC challenge for this week is the theme “Let It Snow!”  This is pretty much what it looks like outside right now.  It started snowing about 5:00pm and  an 1 1/2 hrs later everything is very white–well, now it’s dark!  This is quite a storm!  Yeah!  I love it! 

I made 2 cards this afternoon.  I made the Soft Suede one first but decided I should use a current stamp set so I then made this one.  I can’t seem to get an adequate photo of it.  It’s actually much prettier than this photo.  Oh well, I’m sure you’ve all had a few of those!

Paper:  Bordering Blue, Vellum cardstock, Silver Foil,  Whisper Whte
