Double D Challenge - Christmas JOY

 

Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
 Diane is our host for today's challenge and the theme is:
 
Christmas JOY
The word JOY MUST be on your creation!
 
and here's the inspiration board she has created 
to help get you started . . .

 

 As I'm sure you have figured out on your own ... I was inspired by the image in the lower left corner.  I had a scrap of Buffalo Plaid designer paper in my scrap box and thought it would be perfect for today's card.  Plus I love when I can use up some of my mountain of scraps!  My 'Joy' sentiment (Penny Black - Winter Cheer - 51-255) was also cut from this same scrap of Buffalo Plaid design paper.

The frames were also scraps that were hanging on the hook from previous creations and that means all I needed to do was die cut a 'greenery sprig' of some sort so grabbed an older die ... Cheery Lynn Designs 'Holly Flourish'   ... now it's assembly time.


I hope you've been inspired by what I've had to share today!

Be sure to pop over to the Double D Challenge Blog to see all the details and amazing samples offered up by our VERY TALENTED design team ladies!!

Here's the prize you'll be playing for this time around ... 
Remember, it's a random draw for the winner so it could be YOU!!

 

 How awesome is this!  LOL

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope to see you at Double D!

As always . . .
