HUGS w/Double Trouble and Bitten By The Bug 2

I was invited to be a guest designer this month with the Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenge team!  These challenges are fun because it is like a 3 in one challenge.  This time around the challenge is "Warm & Cozy- Layer Up" which means we need to create at least two layers and Use at least one die punch, and say what you love to cuddle up with.  Due to my horrible insomnia, for me, cuddling up with a nice cozy pillow is my favorite!  So, you will find a cozy pillow on my card!  :)  Here is the write up on the Double Trouble page!

"Warm & Cozy - Layer Up"  

Thing 1: Trouble Maker

says, "Today we're celebrating two special things - our 100th Challenge and Cuddle-Up Day on January 6th! There's been nothing better than cuddling up with your sweet creations for 100 challenges and we hope that you feel the same way."  

"For Cuddle-Up Day, let's think cozy and warm and   Layer Up!  You MUST use at least one die, punch, or machine cut and include at least two or more layers on your project. Bring on your card layering techniques and Layer Up."      

In Summary:  1.  Create at least two layers. 

                       2.    Use at least one die. 

You can stop here...

Or
You can go on to Twisted Sister's Optional Twist 

Thing 3: Twisted Sister

says, "My favorite thing to cuddle with is a good book. There are lots of other "THINGS" you can cuddle with such as sweaters, mittens, quilts, easy-chairs, books, fur-babies, stuffed animals, firesides, etc. What is your favorite?"  

If you have included the optional twist in your project, you will have earned another chance in our usual random draw.  

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "Bitten by the Bug 2 is a challenge that usually requires the inclusion of a cut item from a Cricut machine, however, we CUT a Die'al with them. For this challenge only, our partner is accepting the use of cut items from punches, dies, and any cutting machine, but NO fussy-cutting! Enter the Bitten by The Bug 2 Challenge for an extra chance in our usual random draw prize.  

So, here is my creation for the challenge (notice the pillow)!  As you can see I used an image from My Besties/Sherri Baldy, including the heart.  The die cut I used was a fun rectangle die, I cut the image out using it.  I used my Cricut to cut out the hearts and for my sentiment I used HUGS #M95A0F34 from Cricut.  I added a doily, some Julep Glitter Gems from CTMH, some ribbon and some flowers.  I added some Glossy Accents over her eyes.  I also sprayed the entire card with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  Here is how the card turned out:
