Ok, here's my game...

I've made two gift card holders.
Leave me a comment guessing which one you think actually holds a gift card inside....and on Thursday morning I'll announced the winner along with pics of the insides of each and you'll see which one has the gift card in it!

First up...

I followed a fabulous tutorial by our very own Ryann!
I did change up my measurements some to make it a little larger.

I started off with the Twinkly Tidings Chilly Willy paper by TaDa.
And, because it's double sided, the inside of the gift card holder also has a lovely print.

I used Christmas List by Unity stamped in Not Quite Navy.
And added Ice Blue rhinestones inside the snowflakes for some sparkle.
I finished it off with white polka dot sheer ribbon!

Next up is a little tin:

This is one of the gift card tins from Michael's, they have them up near the cash registers.
After Christmas last year...I grabbed a bag full for .10 each! (I hope to do that again this year ~ they are perfect for gift cards, candy, jewelry, etc.)

This uses Fashionable from the Basic Grey Sultry Collection.
The pink scalloped piece is from the Sultry 6x6 pad.
I used mod podge to adhere the paper and to make a thin top coat sealant.

Next I used the super fun Olive/Sage Fuzzy/Center Dot Ribbon to go around the side of the lid. I used red line tape to ahere the fuzzy dot ribbon.


I used the Dangling Dazzlers stamp by TaDa. I used markers (Green Galore and Pink Passion) to color the stamp.
I used a quickie glue pen to adhere Pixee Stix Raspberry and Stampendous Melon glitters.
Each ornament is 'hanging' from rhinestones, either Hot Pink or Yellow (which is a yellow-green color).

So, there are the two options for your comment.
You can put #1 or #2.......... 'paper' gift card holder or tin......
I'll draw a winner from all of the correct guesses and post it sometime Thursday morning!

Here's what you could WIN!!


Clearsnap Sparkling Amethyst glitter AND a JenMarie's Cupcake Owl stamp!
Yep, that's a little owl I drew and Johanna of Odd Bird Planet turned it into a stamp!
Be sure to check in tomorrow...I'll show you are FABU card that Tiffany made with this little cutie!

It's the 6th of the month so that means that the Limeilght DT has projects to share!
This month it is packaging for baked goods.


To make the box, I traced a Starbucks Mocha Truffles box onto FaLaLaLaLa Winter Wonderland paper by TaDa.
I used my Scor-pal to help with the folds... And cut a 'window' in the box using nestabilities.

I used the Martha Stewart 2008 Snowflake punch for the red snowflakes and put red pearls in the center.


The top of the box is finished off with white polka dot sheer ribbon and a tag stamped with one of the ornaments from Dangling Dazzlers.
To get this snowflake image you can also use the Frosty Flake stamp.


For the card, I used more of the fabulous FaLaLaLaLa Winter Wonderland paper trimmed with green rick rack.
I used the Dangling Dazzlers (or you could use Frosty Flake) stamp on the green backgound.
Another snowflake, red pearl and topped with the white polka dot sheer ribbon.

And the inside:

Happy Thanksgiving & a Limelight Sketch!

A quick personal note ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOO!
LOVE YOU!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Wow, what an amazing year, I have so much to be thankful for!
My amazing DH, my wonderful parents, our fabulous church...!
And I'm so very thankful to the Lord for all of his blessings!

While some of us are busy pouring gravy all over our turkey and mashed potatoes, I know there are an equal number of people out there who are pouring over the Black Friday sales ads!
I can hear them shouting "Bring on the sales!".
They must have been listening over at Limelight, because not only do they have some awesome sales scheduled for Black Friday, they also have a challenge focusing on all things black!
How easy is that?! Anything black will do, although, I recommend the Black Magic cardstock, black licorice Pixee Stix glitter, or black fun flock!
If you don't have anything from Limelight, go ahead and play along anyways!

Here are the Details:

**Sketch and Product Challenge using black for Black Friday!

**Uploads to SCS should have the keyword: LLPC009

**Participants should post a comment and a link to their card on Mandy's blog by Sunday, November 30th at midnight for a chance to win a Limelight Papercrafts Gift Certificate.



Wellll....as you can see I'm missing the 3rd square in the sketch...I had made all three pieces but they didn't fit!!!!

I used the Dazzling Danglers stamp by TaDa.
I stamped the 'round' ornament in pink all over the pink background piece - which is a sheet from the Basic Grey Sugared 6x6 pad.

I then used a quickie glue pen to adhere black glitter to the ornaments.
There is also a black rhinestone at the top and a clear rhinestone in the middle of each of the ornaments. It is so sparklin' in real life!



I used reversible black/silver ribbon and finished it off with three more black rhinestones in the top left corner.
