7 Kids College Fund Challenge: Winter Wonderland

It's time for another 7 Kids College Fund Challenge!

Wow, I can't believe it's been two weeks already!  I'm sure everyone is having a very busy week, and a very busy month, so why not take some time to relax and de-stress with a little crafting?  This week at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge, we're asking you to create something with a Winter Wonderland theme.  Yep, very easy and very time appropriate, so while you're de-stressing, you'll also be knocking down some Christmas cardmaking :)

For my Winter Wonderland card, I've created a card using the oh-so-sweet Sweet November Neva stamp from CC Designs.  Isn't she just lovely?? She has such a sweet face and it really lets me use my snowflake dies.  The snowflake die that I used is called Winter's Jewel 1 from Whimsy Stamps.  It's actually just one die, but you can layer it and create different looking dies by cutting out the ends.  For the price of one die, you have endless possibilities!

And again, I went crazy with the Viva Decor Pearl Pens!  I really don't know how I didn't discover these earlier, but they are just one of the greatest embellishments/tools I've ever run across.  Granted, I may not have the most steady hand and I do tend to get messy, but you can probably do a better job than I can with these Pearl Pens.  For this card, I've used the Light Blue Pearl Pen and the Light Green Pearl Pen on Neva's snowflake dress as well as on the corner outline of the Mega Nestabilities Labels 8 die cut.  I also used some Stickles on part of her dress.

The border punch is the Martha Stewart Doily Hearts Edge Punch.  All the papers I used were from the BasicGrey Majorlaine 6x6 Paper Pad.
