A lantern

Hi everyone,
I'm not posting much these days, my hubby just had a hip replacement and he's a lot of work. I did get one project finished. This one is for The Friday Mashup Challenge.

Heidi wants to see projects for the Chinese New Year's, The mash up is to create a card or project for the Chinese New year Year of the Snake theme or using the faux paper lantern technique or mash them together.
I went for a paper lantern ( not using the technique ) but the snake.



I haven't used my paper lantern die from Sixxiz in a long long time. This was the perfect chance to break it out and dust it off. I used Red satin paper along with scraps of basic black card stock to make the bands. The hanger is gold ribbon and a large gold bead.My images are from Stampin Up and heat embossed in gold. The bottom band as two snakes on it with the same gold embossed lines that are on the top. I guess you could say I did get that paper lantern technique in there, my window blinds are those paper ones. Ha Ha.



I place a tea lite inside the bottom band. The paper doesn't look red when  the little light is on. but it is.
Hope you like my little lantern.
Please stop back again
HAPPY STAMPING.

I hope that your husband is doing well and he starts to feel better soon!

Gorgeous project Karen! I love your interpretation of the challenge. The gold embossing is great and the snake at the bottom of the lantern is a perfect detail. Thanks for playing along with us at the Friday Mashup this week!

5. If you encourage your visitors to write their original reviews about
your products instead of coping reviews from competitive websites to
show you have circulation and satisfied customers,
your website is more likely to earn higher ranking in the major search engines.
It would be optimum thought to select the local SEO service after checking
the rank of their website. This will not only help you find the best service provider but will help you build
an idea about the recent SEO market. Organic SEO uses valid
and safe techniques to rank your site for its
keyword. The major preference is for offshore SEO companies as they offer SEO at the
most competitive prices. Domain Authority is influenced by:.
When SEO services are working for you, you should always be ready to capitalise on innovations
and fresh marketing opportunities. The title is supposed to explain the article, and the title
is what your readers see when they search for content.
This helps auto dealership websites rank higher in the search engines results
and get more traffic to the website. Those who work on introduced SEO power suite, they choose best
SEO tools among various tools available in the market.

For instance, how many TV viewers then came to your car lot and purchased a vehicle.

Now even that is quickly defining point of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can
lead to intense discussions about the meaning and purpose of SEO.
Think wine, and keep the URL intact. Once you find the right and affordable SEO Company, it is
essential to talk about your business objectives, target customers and future goals with the professionals to help them develop their strategies accordingly.
Why. With most visitors noting the first 3-5 web links of the first page, further sustained SEO efforts
bring the company web link to that web positioning high up as much as possible.

SEO content is a huge deal in today's online oriented business world. The content must complement the theme of the website design. Never post a half edited article, and never settle for less than your best.

I believe everything wrote made a bunch of sense. However, consider this, what if
you added a little content? I am not saying your information
isn't good., however suppose you added a title that makes people want more? I mean "A lantern" is kinda vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo's front page and see how they create post headlines to get people interested.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what
you've got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.
