Joy, Joy, Joy...

 
 
Hi there!
 
 
I'm getting this card in just under the wire for
a challenge over at Paper Sweeties.  They have
darling sweet stamps and a marvelous design team.
Go on over and check them out.  You won't be
disappointed!
 
I had the idea for this card mulling around in my
head for a couple days, so this is the end result.
It was quite easy just a matter of a little stamping
and arranging the embellishments.  I colored a
few of the gems with my copic marker since I
didn't have the exact color I wanted.  I recently
received those Prima holly flowers and quickly
fell in love with them!  The felt flower and
snowflake are from K&Company.  I stamped
the word, Joy(Paper Sweeties), and applied
gems.  A bow made with pearl cotton to
finish off the card.
 
Here is the sketch we were to follow...
 
And, here is another view of my card...
 
 
 
Well, time to gather and put all my fall decorations away.
Wow, can you believe tomorrow is December already?!
This weekend we plan to put up the tree.  We will be
playing Christmas music and getting in the Christmas
spirit.  I recently bought a new Christmas CD by
Blake Shelton.  I'm quite please with it!  And, another
new fav singer of mine is Chris Mann.  You have
any new favorite Christmas music?
 
Anyways,  thanks for dropping by today!  Take care
and have a fantastic weekend, hugs!
