OLW and TLC

I love this set - so perfect for Arizona Christmas!  This is for the OLW challenge.  Jennifer has so nicely jumped in to host while Susan takes a break.  Thanks Jen as I love this challenge.

This on the other hand--- a new technique/tool.  Perfect Pearls by Ranger.  To be honest I am not sure why I am even posting and uploading for this challenge.  God awful - ugly is what I am thinking.  However, it has inspired me to GET IT RIGHT and pretty the 2nd time!  I will get it - I got copics didn't I???  Wow this stuff is bizarre-- I will do a comparisoin - with a much better attempt---later. LOL
Thanks for stopping by~~

Hi Vicki

Love the card for the OLW challenge - Santa on the beach :)))) Your other card is very nice, the flowers are very pretty and perfect pearls give a lovely effect. But less is more! Have fun playing - I did!!

I don't see anything wrong with the second one, stop being so hard on yourself, you always do fantastic work!

Gorgeous cards, Vicki - I love the warm wishes one! As you say perfect for Arizona Christmas! I actually really like the second one (us crafters are always so hyper-critical of our own work, aren't we?), it looks really artisitc and beautiful x

Two great cards! I love using Perfect Pearls. They are so versatile.
Thanks for sharing! :o)

You've confirmed it...we are our own worse critics! Your cards are beautiful. I identify with the first card...that's the kind of holidays we have in Florida! LOL! Beautiful work!

LOVE that warm weather Santa!
I think your second card is lovely and I'll bet it's even prettier in real life with all of the sparkle. I have Perfect Pearls somewhere in their original unopened package, maybe I will try the technique today.

Hee! This card made me smile! Love that yellow - totally makes you feel like the sun is shining down on your sun-worshiping Santa.

Maybe he'll find a bottle of sunscreen in HIS stocking.

Great job on OLW24!
