A Place to Start January 2020-Anything Goes w/ Option CAS

Happy 2020!  I hope you have a wonderful year.  Join us at A Place to Start for our first challenge of the New Year.  Our option is to create a CAS project (Clean and Simple).  This was not at all difficult for me since that's really the only type of card I ever make - LOL!

Here's my card:

The DT is using images from Bugaboo Stamps.  I chose the image called I Heart U Bear.  Isn't the little bear adorable?  It's colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I cut it out using a Sizzix die.  The DP is from my stash and so is the sentiment.  I'm trying to use my stash in 2020.

Click over to the blog and see what the DT has designed using more sweet images from Bugaboo.  We want to see your designs.  And don't forget that you can see last month's winners.  Have a wondereful day, friends!

Thanks for visiting!

613 Avenue Create January 2020-Anything Goes-Option Make it Shiny

Welcome 2020!  Isn't just amazing that we have entered into a new decade?  I wish you all the best in this New Year.

At 613 Avenue Create we have our first challenge of the year - Anything Goes with the option to Make it Shiny.

I created a congratulations card for our grandson who just received his first college acceptance letter. Needless to say, we are over the moon with happiness and pride. I won't make a card for each acceptance, but just had to do so for the first - LOL!  Since he is a young man, making it shiny doesn't come easy, but I think this is appropriately masculine.

The starts and congrats sentiment are die cut from silver mirror paper.  I added clear embossing powder to the black banner and heat set it. The inside has some silver mirror paper hearts.

We've included a little something for him to spend on a celebratory treat. Or he could save it for college!
