More pictures of my project, which was one of the gifts I sent my secret sister, Connie:

The metal sentiment tag from Ide-Ologie (TH) and tons of alcohol ink distressing:


More TH metal tags, with this fun ribbon (leaf):

The Creative Embellishment wooden letters also distressed:

The background was created on upcycled metallic cartoon packing, alcohol ink, and an stencil also from TH:

I also used the Bears, reindeer, and leaves ribbon, Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium papers, Ide-Ology embellishments.
I entered this project to:
Graphic 45 Christmas facebook page for the December Challenge.


I was inspired by the red hues and the metallic accents, and of course the warm and fussy feeling.


Well, I hope you enjoyed this project and decide to enter our fun challenge.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Eve!!! 

It's Veronica from Vicky's Scrapping Passion with a card to hold the handmade gift I made for my daughter.

BTW, We had an amazing sponsor this month for Connie's blog hop last week! Betsy Flot is giving one of  her awesome book's, Progressions of Expressions Volume 2.


I made this charm holder for my daughter's handmade gift inspired by the ones made by Jody from Cre8n' Memories
Connie, sorry, I saw this idea too late otherwise I would have sent you one ;-)




 I made some changes to the original idea to adjust it to a regular size card and to hide the chain, I made a pocket. I remembered a chain holder I saw a while ago and made the straight cuts coming out of the punched holes to insert the chain without destroying the card, as you can appreciate bellow:


A closer look to the charm:
 A closer look to the pocket:
 The inside of the card with the sentiment:
 The embellishment:

 I used a 3D zot to hold the pendant:


Both pendants:
 This one I sent to Connie:

I used some old CTMH papers (Believe) and the charm/glass topper are also from CTMH. You can get similar products in Connie's CTMH website.

Happy New Year Eve!!!
