Heart2Heart = NOvember Challenges Week 1 and 2

I've not had the chance to play along with Heart 2 Heart challenges in a while, so I was thrilled to work on a few cards last night for the NOvember Week 1 and Week 2 Challenges. 

Week 1 was NO Stamping!  No stamping?  EEK!  Thankfully, there are some beautiful pattern papers, and with the right thought process, you can create a beautiful card. 


They didn't say no ink . . . just no stamping!  So I did ink my edges on this one, which helped to make the elements pop.  One of the things that I love about Close To My Heart paper is the bar code strip, and how at least one of those strips has some words that can be used for a sentiment.  I put them to good use here. 


I love that glitter tape! 

And for the Week 2 challenge . . . NO ink.  No ink?  So that means no inking of the edges. 


I mounted all of my pattern papers on black cardstock since I was not able to ink them up, and I wanted my panels to pop.  I love these pattern papers, although they're not your traditional holiday designs.  I used another of those sentiments from the bar code strip on the paper. 


I popped the sentiment and the snowflakes, and I included some pearls to give a little more pizzazz. 

No ink . . . no stamping . . . no problem!
