Midas amplified.

This has been a really nice weekend. We had a good party yesterday and then today I took the boys to Chuck E. Cheese. It was a real quick trip that was fun, but fast. I got a little bit of crafting done this morning. I made this card for the Jinglebelles challenge. Its to use mostly all silver or gold. Now I have NO gold what so ever. I was very short on the silver even. This is what I came up with. The background silver I had to use white BG patterned paper and glued glitter all over it.























Another Christmas card made. Thats awesome. I will totally be ready this season.

I also went through my flickr favorite pictures from other flickr members and made a mosaic to put in Thurs fav group. The links to all the photos are below the mosaic. I love making these kind of like my own inspiration board.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and wasn't without electricity for too long. (those in hurricane areas)

So I was wondering - where did she get such cool background paper? Or is that really paper? It looks so cool. Glitter huh! Wow, I'm impressed. Gorgeous card my dear.
