Hello!  It’s time for stash challenge week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown!  Our August hostess, Gill, has thrown a double doozy at us this week – our challenge cards must use both glitter and bling.  Now, those of you who know my crafting habits know that I tend to avoid glitter whenever possible – so this was indeed a challenge for me!  But I was able to work it in with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge, and I have to admit I’m pretty pleased with the result.  I did take the liberty of turning the sketch on its side.  I couldn’t decide on a sentiment to add to the card front, so I decided to just go without, so that way it can be either a Christmas card or a wintertime “thinking of you” or any other occasion card.

What will you make with your glitter and bling?  Be sure to share your card with us at the 52{C}CT blog by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time/6:00 p.m. GMT Friday, August 29.  While you’re at it, be sure to check out the cards the rest of the design team has created.  We look forward to having you join us!
