Good morning stampers! As you all know today is Belli Challenge day and today we are working with cord. Although I must say that my post looks more like I was working on last week's challenge again (which was tags).I found this big tag on my mess that I call my desk and thought I could make something with that so away I went. I covered the tag in some Basic Grey Wassail paper (that I just got yesterday and it is gorgeous!) and then I thought maybe it was just to bright and I kind of wanted a vintage look so I used my antique linen distress ink and just rubbed it all over the tag...front and back. I stamped my sentiment (PTI again) and realized that would be way to bright too so I distressed that with the same ink. I wanted to used a felt flurry snowflake (winter mini) on my tag so I used a Wassail glazed brad in the middle and tied some silver cord around the prongs in the back to secure the cord to the snowflake. The snowflake is removable so it can be hung on a tree or somewhere around the recipients house. Then I decided to use some of SU! rope twine (winter mini) on the end so I cut three length and then pulled apart the ends to make it look frayed.
Soooo...what can you do with the cord you have laying around your house? Whip something up, upload to to your favorite place with CBC43 as your keyword and then link back to Chris's blog (below) for a chance to win a fun prize! Here are the Belli players this week...

So, I'll be over to Chris's blog this next week checking to see if you've participated so I hope that you do!
Can a brag on my family for a moment please? If you don't want to hear it...just stop reading now and I'll see ya tomorrow...k? First, last week was report card week in our house. I remember as a kid that it wasn't a fun time for me...I struggled a lot. Thankfully my boys don't struggle. Jon has a B+ average...yep, a B+!!! Isn't that just wonderful? And Kyler...he is doing super too! He has an A in Bible and a B in Latin among other wonderful grades. To me...that A is of utmost importance. We send him to a Christian school so that he can grow in and learn a Christian world view. He is a wonderful boy of God and we want him to be a wonderful man of God as well! Speaking of wonderful man of God...Todd is the Chapel speaker at Kyler's school today. I'm so proud of him! I know he will do a great job and I can't wait to see Kyler introduce him! I would love to brag on Scott's report card too but he doesn't have one yet. I can tell you that he did a great job on a "project" in his Political Science class yesterday. He got all the extra credit points that he possibly could so go Scott!
Okay...enough...this is long...sorry about that! Have a super Wednesday and I'll see you tomorrow!
