Now before the challenge police come and take me away, here is my defense... I know it looks like I used 4 half pearls and a ribbon. That adds up to 5 embellishments not 4 like Jeanne's challenge states. Well, here's the deal. The three little ones are pearls that Anne Ryan gave me. The big one is really just hot glue with fingernail polish on it... and we all know that glue no matter what form it is in, is just adhesive not embellishment right??? Oh well, at least I tried to give an excuse. I got the rest right though. My color combo was gold, black and brown.
This is also for Kelly's Word of the Week challenge found on her blog here: http://ginghamgirlsadventures.blogsp...owim-late.html
The word this week is:
expend: 1) to pay out; spend 2) to consume by use; use up
Since I am a hoarder, and aren't we all? I decided to EXPEND some of my hoarded paper. This medallion was on some paper that I just love. It has been sitting un-used in my paper drawer for months. I couldn't bring myself to use it until today. I cut the medallion out and added some accents of color and then added the pearls and ADHESIVE with fingernail polish.

You expended (expent????) a great deal of words on your excuse not to get the challenge gong from Jeanne...so that means 1 extra credit point from me....and since this card looks golden and EXPEND-SIVE you get another bonus point which ties you with Sabrina....ps...this card is GORGEOUS!!!! And it is impearled with a Mearl, YAY!

What a hoot you are, MariLyn. Let's call it exactly what it is: Cheating. Face it, MariLyn you did what I do week and after week after week. I cheat. Sometimes you just gotta cheat. This is perfectly wonderful. OMGosh, look at that medallion! Dont feel badly about the cheating part: many of us have that inclination to cheat on SCS.
