I'm back!!! and a challenge for cuttlebug

Aloha everyone! I'm back....
First of all... my apologies for mia in 3 months. I had a hard time since my older brother passed, this is so hard and so sad for me and my family. But I know he is in a better place now with God and resting in peace.

Anyway, I am back to join in a challenge. I missed the challenges. At Cuttlebug Challenge this week is Glitter! Add glitter, bling, and use your Cuttlebug. Due by Tuesday December 8th midnight Est time so I still have time :) I had so much fun creating this christmas card. I cut out the sentiment and the snowflakes from cricut and used the potpourri basket cartridge. I hand drew the bird, then cut it, embossed and added stickles. Sorry for the blurry photo hope to take a better one later.



Just want to share another christmas card. I love this paper from Basic Grey.
Thank you for stopping by and hope everyone have happy monday.
