A winner will be chosen by Random.org.  The winner will receive a $10.00 credit towards the purchase at Pattie's Etsy Store and an 'I Won' badge from the sidebar.
'Allie's Choice Award' from our sidebar, will be given to an entry with a Pattie's Creations image.  That winner will be chosen by the DT Leads and can proudly display our badge on their sidebar.

The challenge starts now and ends Thursday, January 20th at 1PM CST (Central Standard Time).

Here is my card that i made for the challenge.  I'm using the image Tulips in a vase. Everything about it is digital. I colored it digitally and created the card in my scrapbooking program.

Hope you will join us in the challenge this week.

Lollipop Technique Post

Today i'm going to be showing you how to make a shaker card.  Some of you might already know how to make one.  This has to be on of my favorite type of cards to make.  
The materials i'm going to use are:  
Chic and Shabby line for paper and some embellishments from Lollipop Press.  
image- cake and roses from paperfacesdesigns.
 I colored the image using Paint.net.  

Your going to start by picking the size of card that you would like to make.  Then you will be printing the paper, embellishments and image that you would like to use.   
I started with my cardbase.  I used at 6x6 Cardbase. ( i know the picture shows a standard base!!) I then cut my image to 2 7/8" square. Make sure that your image is toward the middle of the cardstock so that you can see it through the window. Instead of printing out a digital image you can also use a stamp set and stamp your image. 













Next you are going to want to make a "window" with another piece of cardstock. The same size as your image. You can make the window a shape or just a square, anything you want!!  i just used a square. I then cut out the middle leaving a border of 1/4 inch all the way around.  Make sure that your foam 3d tape will fit on your border. Increase the size of your border to the size of the foam tape your using.  Or you can just trim your foam tape to fit.   Instead of using cardstock you can just use the Digi paper that you just printed out.  I wanted my card to be a little more sturdier so i'm just going to cover the white border with the Digi paper at the end. 



 You will now need a piece of acetate, or window sheets.  I went to Office Depot in town here and got a whole box of them Qty 100 for $20.  You will need to cut it to the same size as your window.  I cut mine to 2 7/8 square.  At this point add some adhesive to the back of your "window" and stick the acetate to it. now on the same side that you stuck the acetate to your window you will now add 3d foam around the entire window.  Making sure that there are no holes. If there are holes you will get the glitter everywhere!!



Now your going to add some sparkle!!  any type that you would like to use.  I just used CTMH Prisma Glitter. Just pour some onto the window that you just created!



Now just take off the backing of the foam tape to expose the sticky.  Then stick your image onto the foam tape. Now you have your shaker window.  TAADAA!!!

Now you will just design your card just like you normally would.  
My Finished product.  
Don't forget about the LOLLIPOP PRESS  BLOG HOP coming up on January 15.  It will be 7 days long.  It's going to be sooo much fun and there are TONS of prizes to be won!!!  Hope you will join us then!!

Here is a picture of my creation for the blog hop.  I used Patties Champaign  glasses. I started out with a cardbase, punched the side of it with a MS punch, added patties image onto that then i wanted to add something else to it so i added acrylic!  I stamped all over the acylic Happy New Year with a stamp from CTMH.  I think it gives it that little extra that the card needed!

My New Camera!!

Good evening everyone!  Well this is going to be a quick post, but i need everyones opinion please and thank you!!  I recieved a new camera from my hubby for Christmas this year.  I love it so far.  I was just curious if anyone is familiar with camera's and tell me if mine is a good one or not.  I still have time to take it back and get another camera that will be better, and better for me.  I have a SAMSUNG WB5500.  I have read lots of reviews and they are all mixed.  Saying that yes it's a great camera, takes beautiful pictures, but then it would say that it's the slowest of it kind.  What i really wanted was a canon SLR camera.  Just so that i can grow with it.   


Let me know what you think of my new camera!! Just leave a comment!!


Here is a picture of it. i got the picture from Cambuy

Just a reminder!!!  Patties Creations is having a blog hop!!!  It starts on Jan 7 1:00pm cst and ends on Jan 9 1:00pm cst.  Lost of prizes to be won!!!
