Christmas Sparkle . . .

Hello my blogging friends ... hope you're having a fun filled Thursday!

Just one more day left in the month of November ... can you believe it???

Today's creation was made with a couple fun challenges in mind.  First of all the "Non-Tradition Christmas Colors" challenge at the Cheery Lynn Designs blog and also the November "Christmas" challenge at  WOW! Embossing Powder, UK challenge blog.

 If you are not familiar with either of these products, you are missing some amazing dies and fabulous embossing powders.  I purchased these items from Joan's Gardens on my last visit and you can order them online at her online store found HERE.

  
Here is a list of items used for this card creation:
Papers:  White cs, Medium Blue cs, Kiwi embroidery paper (pink) from JoAnn's, Hot Pink cs
Image:  Crafty Secrets Christmas Images & Journal Notes Booklet
Accessories:  Cheery Lynn Designs B184-Holly Corner, Cheery Lynn Designs B186-Merry Christmas Set, Spellbinder Create A Flake Three Snowflakes, JoAnn's pink satin ribbon, ProvoCraft snowflake embossing folder (5x7), Martha Stewart Icicle border punch, WOW! Embossing Powder -Neutral Ultra Shimmer WS02R

Here's a close-up so you can see the sparkle of the WOW! embossing powder around the border of the image, on the icicle border and on the large snowflakes.  You should see how it sparkles IRL!!  Isn't this image adorable?  It's one of my all time favorites in this Crafty Secrets Christmas booklet because these little kids are so dang cute!
