Cold Twigs...Warm ♥'s

Sneak Peek Giveaway Time!
Listen up "My Creative Time" friends! We are giving all of you an opportunity to win a prize during Sneak Peek week with four {4} winners to be announced during Friday's stamp release! All you have to do is leave a comment HERE on my blog as well as
the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win!
AND we are giving you ANOTHER opportunity to win....
ALL you have to do is "SPREAD THE WORD" about My Creative Time's "8th Edition Stamp Release" happening this Friday at 8 a.m. Pacific time! You can announce it to all of your Facebook friends! If you don't know how to tag me in your post, feel free to come to My Creative Time's Fan page HERE and let Emma know you did! A winner will also be chosen at random from Facebook to win a prize! Emma will be announcing the winner on Friday morning in her video during the release.
Here are my cards for today. I made a little set of 3x3 gift cards. ;)
I used the almost released set called All Around Christmas. I also used the scalloped die that will be available with the release on Friday. ;) Here they are separately...
I used milled lavender distress ink on this one and I swear it matches in real life. It is not sunny out, so I used a lamp to take the pics and they look awful. Sorry!
I used Worn Lipstick distress ink for this one...
And for this last one I used my FAV distress ink color Broken China. All of the cards were also misted with perfect pearls and water in a mini mister to add shine.
I popped up each scalloped sentiment and called em' done. ;) Now scoot over to Emma's Blog to see the awesomeness that she has created...AND to see the awesomeness from the rest of the design team.

♥ Nikki ♥
