Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenge #9 - Use BLING!

This week over at Scrapbookaholic By Abby our challenge is to use bling on your project. 

I did not use much bling on my project it just didn't go. There is a little however. This past week has not been a good one. We just found out that one of my Cousins passed away. It has been very sad and I haven't been doing much crafting. 

I had all the pieces cut out for my project but I didn't know what I was going to do with them. When we got this challenge I decided to figure something out. 

Here is my Layout for the Challenge:

This is for the beginning of a Pregnancy Album that I am making for my friend. I am so excited to be working on this. The momma bear has "earrings". That is my BLING. 

Dont forget to go over to Scrapbookaholic by Abby and also enter in the challenge and see all the amazing crafts that the other DT members have created.

I had a lot of fun doing this challenge. This week is to create something Red, White and Blue!! There can be so many possibilities!! It doesn't just have to be 4th of July. I saw a "hello" card and a birthday card and I loved them all. 

Here is my card for this weeks project!

This card is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and the layer is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. I used the K & Company Americana stack for the background and the words. I cut the strip at 4 1/8 x 2 1/2 and used adorable little white buttons. The Ribbon is Whisper White from Stampin Up and the Words are from the Stand and Salute Cart cut at 4". The card base and red strip are from Paper Trey Ink.

Happy Monday!! This weeks Challenge is to use the sketch and make a manly/father's day card or Layout!

This week our challenge sponsor is Sakura of America! I just love their pens... They are my favorite!! The prize is a 6 pack of Jelly Rolls!!!! :)

Here is my card for the challenge this week...

I had originally made a card using the sketch and I didn't like it so I re-made a card and then realized that I did not really incorporate the sketch into this one. I was having a hard time with it. I really do like how this card came out though.
