Wish Joy!

Hi there!

It's time for another Shabby Tea Room Challenge!
I am the guest designer for this month!  And, I am
having so much fun!:-)

Just look at this beautiful sweet wintery scene with
the ice skate for the inspiration photo! 

It brings back wonderful memories of skating when
I was young.  We used to walk down to the park and
go skating.  We also had a neighbor who had an ice
skating rink.  I was sweet on one of the neighbor boys
and he taught me how to skate backwards.  We had fun
sitting by the fire drinking hot chocolate!:-) 

Anyways, one is to follow the colors in the photo and
choose three items on this TIC TAC TOE board!  How
fun is that??!!  Three in a row...up, down, or
diagonally.  Here is the board...

It was time consuming making this card, but well
worth it!  I fussy cut the greenery.  It's difficult to
tell, but I also snipped the edges and added distress
ink.  I embossed the skate blades, pine cones,
greenery, and holly leaves.  A piece of vellum and
doily was added behind the skates.  I wanted to give
the skates some dimension, so I added the tiny vintage
brads.  I do love those brads!  I must order more...lol!
A sweet tag and seam binding from Paper Sweeties!
Trim, pearls, and gems to finish off the card.

I thank you so much for dropping by today!  Go on
over to the Shabby Tea Room to join in on the fun!
Take a look at what the fab design team has created

see what you create for this challenge!  Take care, hugs!
