This Challenge is such a TREAT !!!

Hello to all,
I am back with another lovely inspirational challenge from Dude Time Doodles and Boni made such a stunning project for her NOOK , just go and have a look at the challenge blog, yeah i know i can show it here, but i want you to get all impatient with me to hurry up so that you can jump over and look for yourself, LOl, and while you are there, WOW, have the DT members worked up a storm to wet your appetite for more cardmaking..................hehehe , promise....
Now this here challenge is all about ...........ANYHING BUT A CARD !!!!
You getting all in a niff now, lol, we tend to forget all the things we can make and when it comes to our dudes, even better to know what to make to surprise them, we like that, don't we.....................ROFL
For my project, i used 'PENALTY PAT' , and oh he is so cute when he gets all blown up.............lol
I made a candy box , i first used my Fluid Ink Chalk Pad and lightly sponged the background, then i sprayed the box with Dazzle Glitter Spray in Blue and Green , just the right touch , i think !! I colored Pat with copic's and added two charm boots as embellies, now you tell me what you think, hope you like.......lol

You will definitely want to run the bases and visit every design team member's blog today.  There are several tutorials on how these ladies created such awesome, one of a kind, out of the fold items.

Now the rules of the game:

WEEK TWO Give Away! German Glitter Crystals Set

We are continuing Give Away January with a Great Set of our Five new Glitter Crystals.

These are a different look from our standard glass glitter, Translucent Glass Glitter Crystals! This is what our glass glitter looks like without it's sterling silver coating. Use to layer over other colors or use on a white or light background for a pure, pastel color!

We will only run this Give Away for one week, so get your comments in to make sure you are in the running for this really nice set! The winner will get a package that include a generous amount of EACH of our five Glitter Crystals.

We have had these in our catalog for a while, but most people go for the more sparkly Glass Glitter, but you have to give these little Crystals a chance! Play with them, create something wonderful.

Crystals for all. And for one, a complete set!

Over at EVERYTHING GLITTERY
