New Challenge over at DOUBLECLICK CONNECTIONS...AND BLOG candy!

Hello! Guess what finally came today?  YES!! My order.....I have been waiting so that I could get a pic of the blog candy-but wanted to add a couple of the items I was waiting for in the mail....so I will show you a pick of the blog candy at the end of this post.

The new Challenge over at DoubleClick Connections  this week is "ANIMALS"....so I have used a cute little Elephant-and used print an cut on my Explore....

I was almost done with this cutie-and I went and dropped the ink pad on it--and yes, it was open....ugh!! Luckily I was able to print it again, and glue directly on the top layer....and now you can't tell, unless you look really really close in an area or two.....has that ever happened to any of you?

I have used Mystery Sparkle SKITTLES from DoubleClick Connections to add that last little touch to my card....aren't they pretty?!! There are many many colors available-check them out HERE!!

My Guest designer spot at DOUBLE CLICK CONNECTIONS...

Do you LOVE Skittles? I LOVE my skittles....I just think they really make the card...there are SO MANY beautiful colors of SKITTLES available over at:

 DOUBLECLICK CONNECTIONS aka BUSY BEE!!
AND, Carri now also has a challenge blog, and I am a GUEST DESIGNER for her for the month of February!

The challenge starting today is; TO USE A HEART-or several, like I did!

I had some conversation heart pieces in my stash that I added in the heart cutout areas, and then I also added sequins and SKITTLES in the other open areas....(I cut out the heart on my Explore, luckily I was able to go back and find it again...it was Heart Doily from the
Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art Cartridge).

 I also used My Creative Times Stitched Sweetheart and xoxo dies and cut out the xoxo, and then cut it in half to add a piece to each bottom corner.
Have a great day, and I hope you get the chance to enter the challenge HERE.
***P.S.  Hint...Hint....come back next Wednesday,(Feb. 14th) as I am going to be adding some blog candy to my post!!***
