Some SCS New Year's Eve Fun!

I love the way this tag turned out! The base is a Basic Gray Blitzen tag, which I adore. Then I used a 1995 SU! snowman, who I think is just so sweet! The best, and most sparkly touch is the Creative Cuts and More snowflake die cut! They come in three sizes, this is the small one. I had it cut out of a medium blue Bazzill Bling. I covered it in glue, and then Angel Dust Art Glitter. I added some satin and organdy ribbon, a silver snowflake sequin, and a gem. I like it so much, I think I'll keep it and use it as a decorative accent in my house next Christmas!
This card uses my beloved Crafty Secrets stamps, and the doomed Daisy D's paper, which I will treasure even more now. I also used an actual vintage ticket to continue with the food theme. I got this ticket from the now defunct & very dishonest The Embellishment Studio. I entered a contest with TES, and won it. I bought some things and liked their stuff so much, I joined the kit club. They charged my PP account FOUR times and never sent me one kit. Essentially, they stole $88 from me. PP found in my favor, but by that time, TES had closed their account. I often wonder about those people. What they are like? Do they feel bad for stealing from so many people? Were they just theives to begin with and they don't feel bad at all? Will they start another company and do it again? I wish I knew their names, the internet can be so anonymous. Would it be harder for them to steal if I were standing right there? Would they snake their hands down into my purse and snag my wallet? Is there any difference?

Awesome creations, Carla. Love the vintage card! What a terrible experience to be scammed liked that. Makes one appreciate the hardworking, honest people on the web even more!

Those WANKERS!!! the nerve. I'm good at breaking kneecaps, just tell me where to go! [ok, so actually I'm good at threatening to break kneecaps, but I could do it, for you!]

what a cute card -- it does look like that bogus company could have had a good thing going.
