Flip-a-Coin Challenge

For this challenge, let the flip of a coin decide certain aspects of your card. Thanks to Beccy from Beccy’s Place for allowing me to use this ‘Flip-a-Coin’ idea that I saw over on her challenge blog.

Grab a coin and flip it. If it lands on ‘heads’, use the card ingredient listed in the first box under the title, ‘HEADS’. If it lands on ‘tails’, use the card ingredient listed in the first box under the title, ‘TAILS’.

Keep flipping the coin until you have selected items from each of the five rows, then create a card using the five ingredients you flipped for. Then be sure to let us know somewhere in your post, which ingredients you used.

FLIP	HEADS	TAILS
1	Make a card with 3 layers or less	Make a card with 4 or more layers
2	Make a rectangular or square card	Use a fancy fold technique
3	Add dots to your card	Add stripes to your card
4	Add lace or ribbon to your card	Add gems or pearls to your card
5	Add a frame to your card	Use faux or real stitching on your card

Christmas cardinal

Hello there!! Long time no see!!
I seem to be lost in no where land! I have not worked with paper in a really long time.  This summer has been a crazy busy one so I'm hoping things calm down and I can get some glue on my fingers soon!

Today's post is a late one.  It's that time again for me to share with you my creation for this month's
12 months of Christmas challenge!

This month is Krafty Christmas, kraft paper is the main focus.  We are sponsored by Patti's Creations and I was given the opportunity to use the Cardinal snow globe image.
I really love this image.  I have several families of cardinals living in my back hedge so they grace my feeder through out the day.  I love watching them and have had the immense pleasure of seeing 4 or 5 sets of fledglings since living in this house.
