  2. Awesome snowflakes ~ love your sneak peek! My favorite embellishment used to be ribbon, but pearls and rhinestones are moving ahead as love the bling. Thanks for the chance to win glimmer brads (they’re on my wish list).

  3. Today’s card corner looks very elegant. Hope I can sleep tonight wondering about the rest of it!

  4. Love your sneak peek. Can’t wait to see the rest! My favorite embelly is the pearls. They look so elegant. I hope SU! makes them in different colors in the future.

  5. As usual Ann, the sneak peek is very enticing can’t wait to see the entire card, your snowflakes are “alive”!
    Gosh if I can only pick one favorite thing it would have to be bling things, (rhinestones, dazzling diamonds, shimmer paint, anything glam).

  6. From what I can see, it is going to be another beauty! I love how you placed pearls on the snowflakes!

  7. OHHH I can’t wait to see the rest of this tomorrow.

  8. I would have to say that my favorite embellishment is ribbon. I am so anxious for you to expand that sneak peak…it’s looking beautiful.

  9. The card looks very interesting, almost like it’s glowing. Can’t wait to see the entire thing…

  10. I just got the die and desperately need some inspiration. You are such a teaser. I’ll have to come back to check it out. Thanks Ann.

  11. I love any embelishment that glitters, glimmer brads, Rhinestones, Dazzeling Diamonds… And I never would have guessed that pearls are your favorite! LOL

  12. Oh, your card is going to be spectacular!!! Leave me out of the blog candy. Hugs,

  13. Oh I love what how you have made the snowflakes. Absolutely beautiful !!!
    Its so hard to pick my favorite embellishment, I use ribbon, brads and anything that adds sparkle.

  14. I’m torn between embellishments….I adore ribbon, can’t get enough, but I’m also known as the glitter queen, can’t resist adding at least a little each time, but pearls and brads, who can choose. All these things let the recipent know you did make it it just for them.

  15. Wow! Gorgeous treatment on the snowflakes, Ann! Your cards are always lovely! My fav embellishment is the pearls, too! They’re so versatile. 🙂

  16. Boy, you are going to make us wait another day to see this awesome spectacle to figure out if this is really illuminated, what else is there, is it really a card? Whatever, I am sure just like snowflakes – no two are alike! Love the peek so far! I don’t have any glimmer brads so this would be a fun blog candy surprise! Until tomorrow……

  17. This looks so Christmasy! Bright and warm; it looks like it has an LED tealight but looks like a card. Humm! Looking forward to tomorrows unveiling! My mothers name was Pearl so I am partial to them but would love to try the Glimmer Brads as they would add such a wonderful Sparkle.

  18. Love how your card just “glows” — it looks like there lights behind the snowflakes. I’ll have to say I have “two” favorite embellishments — pearls and ribbon!

  19. After seeing those beautiful snowflakes, I can’t wait to see what the rest of the card looks like. I was sitting here wondering which embellishment I favor and I noticed on three cards that were sitting out, all had brads. I guess that would be my favorite (but I love the pearls and rhinestones).

  20. Can’t wait until tomorrow when you reveal the secret of making the corner…..

    My favorite embellishment for this holiday season is the Basic Rhinestones + homemade shimmer paint. Talking about lots of glitter….. : )

  21. Pretty…pretty…love the pearls. My favorite is the taffeta ribbon. It is stiff enough to hold its shape well, yet fine enough not to be bulky. It ties lovely crisp knots and bows.

  22. I absolutely love Pearls! I think they are one of my many favorites. I can’t wait to see what you have done with the snowflakes!!!

  23. Those snowflakes are just beautiful! Love those a whole lot more than the real thing! Yours don’t cause travel problems!!

  30. The snowflakes look as though they are lit rom behind. Your sneak peek looks gorgeous!

  31. I do love the new glimmer brads, I forgot to get them on my last order, then saw them at a class and was kicking myself, they are really pretty.

  61. Hey Ann, Great little peek. You know I always try to guess what the challenge is going to be. Last week I totally blotched it up, so this week….with a glowing card, I’m not even going to try to guess. LOL I do have to say that I DID try last weeks color challenge and it was a lot of fun, even though I didn’t post it anywhere. I’m not sure what my favorite embellishment is…I reach for all of them. 🙂 Blessings-Tana
