This coming Thursday is Queen Kat Designs' 3rd Birthday!! We are going to celebrate all week long! Today I have some fun blog candy to offer up... Follow my blog and get an entry, leave a comment and get an entry. Easy peesie! :) Winner will be drawn on November 30th so there's still time to get in after this week. The blog candy is......
Woohoo!! That's right! The winner of the blog candy will win my handmade Christmas Planner that I blogged about last week.
So... today's challenge is the color challenge. It was to use the QKD official colors: Pink, Purple, Grey and white. (yes that's mostly purple.. the light was way bad for pic taking!) I used the new word sets for this card (Who luvs yah?, Snug as a Bug, and Warm Fuzzies). I just spplied them randomly to an acrylic block, inked and stamped! It made a fun looking "background" type image. I used lots of layers and ribbon.. Added some flowers and poof, instant card. :) It was fun using these colors together! You should try it!
Thanks so much for coming. Please hop over to Kelly's blog for some more fun. and be sure to join us this Wednesday on the QKD blog for Royal Kat Wednesday and on Thursday we will have a very special release! :) More new stamps and even a new designer!! The blog hop order for the day is:

Adornit's Make It Merry Blog Hop
The next thing I did was stamp two ornaments from the Findings stamp set on separate cardstock, color and cut them out. I used a metallic gold roller ball pen to color the centers of the large ornament. Then I added clear crystal lacquer to them to make them pop. For the small ornament, I added a button from the kit to make it more vintage like.
When the large ornament was dry, I used pop dots to affix both of them to the tag. I added the lace and some twine to the hold in the tag. Then tied two mini jingle bells from the kit to the ends of the twine.
I had a lot of fun with this kits. Come by and pick one up for yourself.
Have an awesome day. Please visit RhondaSue next.

More Christmas Planner...
Next I have the 3rd and final section of my planner, it's the Schedule...
I embossed the small ornament from the set in gold along the bottom of the page just for some extra texture. Then I layered the flowers above and inked em up with me trusty Chestnut Roan ink pad, added a button and viola!
I'm so happy with how this project turned out. I can't wait to give it away next week! :) You'll have a chance to win it right here next Thursday!
Have a nice day and stay warm!

Christmas Planner
I used paper lunch sacks as my base along with the 3 "File tabs" that came in the Fall Into Christmas Vintage kit at QKD. They were the purrfect size to fit into the paper bags. What I did was I cut off the closed ends of the bags so I had the open frayed ends. I put about 3-4 inches of the bag onto the file tab and stapled them with decorative X's down the side. Then I applied my patterned paper over the left side.
For the large ornament seen above, I colored it then covered the whole thing with crystal lacquer.. Yeah that took a pretty minute to dry. :) ooo... I just remembered, I didn't color that one with pencils. I filled it in with stickles.. let them dry over night and then covered it with crystal lacquer. It is so shiny and sparkley it's gorgeous.
The little wooden star was inked with Chestnut roan chalk ink and I added gold stickles and also covered it with lacquer.
I'll show you the inside pages then leave you for today.. :) I'll be back Thursday with more of this book. Tomorrow I'll be here with Royal Kat Wednesday. I have a special guest's card to blog about. :)
So for the inside pages, I used the closed ends of the bags as my base alternating open end out and open end in so you can instert more lists, reciepts, tags or other things in the open ends for safe keeping. I cut a piece of notebook paper and affixed it to each page front and back. Then I stamped them with an ornament with Olive chalk ink. --ok so blogger isn't letting me add more pictures.. grrr. I'll try to insert it later. :)
Have a great day!! oh.. PS.. you'll have a chance to win this on November 19th!
