RCS #17 - Anything Goes "Sweet" Challenge

Welcome back RCS fans! We hope you had a wonderful holiday with your loved ones and wish you all the best in the upcoming New Year!

Our Facebook page almost has 200 fans! Are you one of them? Head on over to check out this awesome giveaway we are having for our Facebook fans! Comment and share the photo for a chance to win. :)

It's the fifth Sunday of the month, which means we're having an anything goes challenge featuring the card design team AND the layout design team!

Our challenge this week is inspired by "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Create any sweet-themed project! Cards layouts, 3D, altered items, any paper crafts are welcome as long as they feature something sweet. Think candy, cupcakes, cookies, etc.

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Vampire Craftin! One lucky, randomly chosen winner will receive a FREE blog makeover!

Along with the randomly chosen winner of this week's challenge, the design team will also be taking a look at ALL of the submissions and voting on their top three "spotlight"submissions. The spotlight submissions, along with the random winner, will be announced on Tuesday January 8th and will receive a special badge for their blogs.

  

Here is what I created for the challenge:

  

I used the Jaded Blossom "Chocolate Lovers" stamp set.  I used some pattern paper from Close To My Heart "Roxie", which is retired.  On the strawberry, I added some Opaque gems from CTMH.  Lastly, I added some ribbon I got from Michaels.

  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Don't forget to head over to Red Carpet Studio to check out some inspiration from the design team.

Favorite Cards of 2012

As 2012 comes to an end, I want to reflect on some of my favorite cards of this year.  There are some cards I created that were my absolute favorite and some I wish I did a better job on. 

My absolute favorite card I created this is in a June post labeled Summer Drink.

This is the first image I ever colored with this level of detail.  I do not consider myself to be a coloring expert, but when it comes to this card, I just love the coloring. 

I hope you enjoyed my recap on one of my favorite cards of 2012.  Tune in tomorrow on my post for a small gift bag.

Merry Christmas Card

Hello Everyone!  I am calling this my first official post for Candied Cards.  Here is a card I made for the Pink By Design Challenge, which the theme is to use Non-traditional holiday colors.  I am also entering this card into the Make It Monday Challenge, where the theme is Anything Goes.
