Happy Day All!
This time of year (especially after the clocks change) it seems like the weeks just FLY by. It will be Christmas before we know it!! Today my BFF Diane (Nellie's Nest) mentioned a challenge blog that she thought would be fun to join in on especially since she & I have recently been treating ourselves to a few new goodies.
So here we go . . .
The challenge I'm referring to is the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog. This time around, the theme is W for Wreath and/or X for XOXO - hugs & kisses. Here's what I came up with . . .
For the 'Wreath' portion of my card, I have used the
Lisa Horton 'Framed Poinsettia' 3D embossing folder.
I left it white and only using Scrapbook.com Pops of Color for the center berries so that it would bring attention to this adorable Penny Black 'Critter Cuddles' premium cardstock image. Aren't they adorable!
I finished off my scene but adding a red card stock ribbon bow created by using an old Lea'bilities 'Bows' (45.4520) die. The finishing touch was the XO letter stickers from my scrapbooking supplies.
Here are a few other challenges to share in:
