First layout and first card for 2013!

This double page layout is for the Friends That Scrap FTSSC weekly challenge. We are now on week 14 and 12 of us are still in the challenge. For this challenge, we had to use the sketch below. I used distressing and misting as my techniques. My embellishments include a metal tree charm on the tag, lace, and tags.

I entered the first half of this layout in the Colorful Creations For the Boys challenge. For this one we had to use blue, a star, bling, and 3 brads.

Last, I entered the card below in the Friends that Scrap Card Challenge. It is also week 14 in that challenge and I am 1 of 4 left in that one. The sketch we had to use is below. My one technique is 'black and white'. The 3 embellishments I used arepunches, 3+ patterned paper, and striped paper. This card is also entered in Shelley's Images' Anything Goes challenge. The card shows up with a blue tint, but it truly is black and white!!
