Great job as always!  Thanks for playing along with this week's challenge.

The weather here has been very rainy and cold - some places are supposed to get snow, some have already gotten snow,  but I'm still waiting.  Last time I checked it was 36 degrees and the rain was pouring down.  If it would only drop a few more degrees we'd have snow!! I can wish, can't I?? 

The possibility of snow makes me think in shades of blue...

 

This card is two shades of blue with white.  The base card is navy blue with a light blue strip through the middle.  The top and bottom of this light blue strip was punched with the Fiskars snowflake embossing punch.  A strip of white was adhered to the middle of the light blue strip and the sentiment was stamped on the left side.  A Marvy giga punch was used to make a scalloped circle; the light blue was punched with a Fiskars large circle punch.  The snowflake is the Martha Stewart snowflake punch.  After punching the snowflake I then punched it out in a circle with the Fiskars medium circle punch. After everything was glued together I added clear twinkles to the snowflake for sparkle. 

So there's tonight's challenge  - to make a card in shades of blue! As always, anyone, anywhere can play along. When you finish your card, simply link to it in the comment section of this post.

Have you been counting polka dots? You have until midnight Friday, December 11 to post your answer.  The winner will be posted with next week's Saturday Night Challenge.  The winner will receive cool papers, inks and more, from One Little Spark!

Supplies include: Navy, light blue and white card stock; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; A Muse Merry Christmas stamp; Fiskars snowflake edge embossing punch, large circle and medium circle punches; Martha Stewart snowflake punch; A Muse clear twinkles
