Ring in the New Year! (I have Candy!! ~ on this post and 2 posts down is another!;)

YAY! Happy New Year! Thanks for stopping by my blog for the Jacksonbelle Embellishments New Years Eve Party Blog Hop!! And guess what I have some Candy to giveaway!! All you need to do is leave a comment here by Friday, January 2nd and I will pick a winner and it will be announced on the Jacksonbelle Blog on Monday January 5th! There are 2 DT Blogs with candy for each challenge, so that means there is one more DT Blog out there with some more Candy!! Happy Blog Hopping!!

This is what my winner will get:




For this 1st Challenge we had to make something using "rings". So being New Year's Eve I decided to make another Champagne Glass Card using a ring around the stem! You know, you don't want to lose your glass!! I used some yummy October Afternoon paper (County Library) and I added a lil' Wintergreen Shimmerz in the little green circles. The colors matched perfectly. It is hard to see in the photo, but the Shimmerz gives just enough "shimmer" to the paper for a little added bling. So I guess you could say they are rings too! They remind me of champagne bubbles! Both those products can be found at Jacksonbelle's awesome store HERE!

And my 2nd card, is a Maya Road Snowflake Album, which I covered the back page with some more October Afternoon Paper, (which can be purchased at Jacksonbelle's Store)I used lots of glitter to outline the snowflake, as well as white ink and I used a Binder "Ring" to hold the 2 pages together! I also used a Melissa Frances Resin Frame, a button and some white and clear balls from a holiday pick, which all are either "rings" or "circles" for the challenge. I also used a Foam snowflake drenched in glitter, ribbon, a Martha Stewart Branch Punch, hemp cord and I printed the Happy Winter! out from MS Word and covered that in glitter too!

Hope you like my cards! I will be back at 9pm to post my projects for the 4th challenge and I also will announce the winner of my other Blog Candy Giveaway!!(2 posts down) Good Luck everyone and Happy Blog Hopping and Happy New Year!!

Hugs, Melissa
