I have some fabulous news today! First, it’s time for another Just Because We Wanna (JBWW) Challenge. This week, we are using Christmas/Holiday Designer Paper. It doesn’t matter what type you use, but your challenge is to cut into some of the stash you are hoarding (like I know some of you do), and make a card. Either upload the card to your blog and/or your online gallery and then post a link in the comment section of this post or on Jeanne’s Blog, Inky Paws. If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword JBWW. We can all search on the keyword then, and see all of your fabulous creations!
Jacksonbelle Embellishments is having a Product Promotion starting today! You can find out more by visiting their Company Forum on Splitcoaststampers. The paper I used for my card today is Webster Pages Winter Wonderland Collection, Mistletoe Kisses. It is double-sided paper, very sturdy and just beautiful. Need I tell you that I absolutely love this paper? My OH my!
The image I used today is from Rubbernecker Stamps. Now before you get your panties in a bunch, I can tell you that the Rubbernecker site is close to completion and will be open soon!
The image was stamped in Adirondack Pitch Black Ink and then colored with Copic Markers. Using a sponge dauber, I sponged the edges with Old Paper Distress Ink, working the excess ink into the center toward the image. The background paper was sewn to another panel of Old Olive cardstock and the edges were sponged in the Distress Ink. This card measures 5-1/2 x 5-1/2.
Stamps: Christmas Bells with Holly by Rubbernecker Stamps
Paper: Vanilla, Old Olive, Websters Pages Winter Wonderland Collection – Mistletoe Kisses
Ink: Adirondack Pitch Black, Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink

Gorgeous, Sherry! Can I play in this challenge tonight? Can I link the challenge to my new blog??? I have purchased some great Christmas paper from our darling Jacksonbelle and would love to play.
PS. I did a distressed Santa card yesterday for the FS and mentioned on my blog that I was inspired by my friend….Sherry!
This is so gorgeous, Sherry! Beautifully colored and perfect with that DP!
Gorgeous image and beautiful coloring. I love how you used the dauber to bring the color in but not quite touching the image – makes it glow.
Thanks for the great challenge. Not only was I hoarding this pretty Figgy Pudding paper, but I was also holding off on using the new BasicGrey clear stamps. Your challenge was just the push I needed. Care to see my card?

So very stunning Sherry. It reminds me of an old fashion card that my grandmother might have saved from year to year.
Your card is too gorgeous Sherry! So elegant and amazing!
Here’s my little attempt at the JBWW (inspired by the image Kittie chose for her JBWW which led me here 🙂 ) but honestly I don’t hoard paper—hope I’m not disqualified…
