it's Doni's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Bells Gone Wild" which just means that she would like to see bells on your project. Very Christmasy!
This is what I did....
I also used the "wild" part of the challenge theme by having a stag on there. (We won't mention that I thought of that just now as I was posting this.)
So, let's talk about this card for a minute. The design is good-gawd-I-really-want-to-use-this-black-snowflake-paper-but-I-don't-have-enough-of-it-so-I'll-just-stick-more-red-plaid-paper-behind-and-pretend-it's-intentional. The BELIEVE is a rub on, an absolutely excellent, high quality rub on...that I stuck my finger on and ended up destroying the one E. Then I picked the pieces of the E off my finger and tried to stick them on the card....crookedly, of course. I markered in the rest. I lost the die cut deer for a brief period as, for some reason, I had put tape runner on the back of it before I needed to and it had gotten stuck too.......wait for it.....the back of the card. It seems, as of late, every time I make a card it's turned into a comedy of errors. Oh well, gives me something to write about, at least. (:

As far as your humble readers are concerned you are the Queen of card making! You rule! Seriously, great card and love how thrifty you were using up your snowflake paper. You see?
