The Challenge
My Card
I used a stamp set I won from Unity while I was at Stampin Around Philly. Cool, huh? I used the colors in my patterned paper and chose a nice chocolate base because I LOVE brown, especially when paired with pink or red (or in this case, BOTH). How about that felt, saddle stitched ribbon?! I LOVE it! I bought it for a dollar at Michaels on sale in the holiday ribbon section. I WISH I had grabbed more. I might have to make another trip to see what their supply is like ;] Hopefully I can find some more colors as well.
The rest of the card is pretty simple...and self-explanatory, so I'll spare you the details! Looking for MORE inspiration?! Swing by the rest of the teams' blogs and check out their beautiful creations! {<---- links in my left sidebar} They're STUNNING!! Also, if you are able to play along this week, please link your card using Mr. Linky over at JUGS and also use keyword JUGS11 in any online galleries.

Very nice--good to see you are using those Unity stamps! I love this technique, going to play right now!
This is gorgeous, Kristin! I love it on brown! I've been meaning to try this out for awhile now.. I hope I have some time to play this week!
This is really pretty Kristin! I like how you used brown...smart. I kept thinking "must be black"...SOOOO not the case -- lol.

Kristin, your card is Fabulous! Those Unity ornaments look so pretty chalked up & they really make a statement on the brown cs! Thanks for giving me the boost I needed to give the chalkboard technique a try - I love it!!! :)
Kristin - this is stunning! I love the colors of the ornaments against the dark brown paper *drool*. I never even knew this technique existed and I'm so excited to try it! This is so bad but I even forgot that I owned chalks :) Almost went out and bought more! Thanks for the awesome inspiration.
Kristin oh Kristin, how do you do it everytime? This is WONDERFUL! I *heart* the chalk on dark chocolate. I also love the dark chocolate color paired with red, pink or almost anything (surprise surprise!)and it looks amazing with your pretty ornament stamps. WHat a great prize for a great girl! I totally have to try your technique of dark chocolate now. Thanks for the challenge and the inspo!
PS: totally being a good girl and NOT asking about your behind the scenes stuff, BUT I think I have a guess. Whatever it is, you are obviously excited so Good for you! You deserve all of life's joys :)
Fabulous Fabulous Kristin - I'm SO glad you threw this technique at us - it's super fun and makes really pretty cards - your ornament stamps were perfect - CONGRATS on the win) for this - love it. I don't know what's up behind the scenes but knowing you it's all fabulousness. Have a great week.
so cute! I got my card started! But seeing as we got a puppy today, i'm just praying i'll have time to finish it. What in the world was i thinking getting a puppy when we have a young dog, and 2 small children 2 weeks before christmas?!
HI Kristin! Lovely, lovely card! I'm going to try to join in the challenge this week - I didn't have a chance last week to make any cards! I miss it so much! Anyhoo, keep your fingers crossed for me!! Mary J xxx
Beautiful card, Kristin! What a great technique to use those lonely chalks!
