4 candy canes for 4 good friends...

Hello and hope you are having a good day! Not too much going on with me... just chilling at my craft space... SWEET! And you know me, I love to play at the Amuse Lounge Challenge, (theme: to do something handwritten) and the Glenda Random Amusing Challenge(theme: to use scallops on the card/project). I had one of those moments, don't know what to do, then...

I had an idea... I dressed up these candy canes for 3 of my crafting buddies for our get together. I used CindyLoo from Amuse, she is too too cute! Plus, I even colored her hair to match each of us, I added glasses to 3 of us, and her blue and pink PJ's (since 2 of them loves blue!) :)

And of course, the girl with the black hair is me, haha!

I have to double drip with her GRAC challenge #89 too. For the GRAC challenge, I have to make a card for a friend or family member and sent it/give it within a week of making it. I made this card for my very good friend... she brought me to this HUGE super super cool Korean supermarket, and it has a food court with lots of yummy food. This store is WICKED awesome... I can't wait to go back and shop for more yummy Korean BBQ beef and kimchi.

Challenge #4 - Geeta's pick, Some kind of Wonderful... to create something that sparkles! So, I have to make at least one Xmas card. And I hope I have enough sparkles... I used glitter paper as background, and I added glitter on everything.

I hope you like it... I had so much fun. To all the Amuse ladies, thanks for another WICKED awesome PJ night!!! If you want to play along with us, you have until 8pm PST tomorrow.
