Joy of the Season

Hello Everyone!!

Hope all is well with you all.

I want to share some exciting news with you. I have been asked to join the design team of Creative Moments. I am really stoked!!!

Creative Moments is a bi monthly challenge blog and the challenges begin on the 7th and 22nd of each month. I will be participating in the challenges on the 22nd of each month. 

The theme is Anything Goes with an optional twist - 
The optional twist for this challenge...
use some patterned paper in your design.

I am using digital images from Decosse Dynamic Doodles

Check her site out. Lisa, the owner has a lot ,and I mean a lot, of cool digital images.

The patterned paper I used, really spoke to me 
and I also decided to use that cool round sentiment.
Those two seemed to be a perfect match.

Here is my finished card

Using my laser printer, I printed the Merry Christmas wording onto Blue CS and printed the round sentiment onto White CS. I foiled both using a blue foil. (It's hard to see the foiling here in the pic - so sorry)

Assembling the card:
I layered silver glitter paper on top of the blue 6X6 card base cutting to 51/2" X 51/2", trimmed the foiled patterned paper to fit in center area of the silver glitter paper and  punched a circle in the center of that patterned paper 

Next, using blue glitter paper, I used a die to cut those snowflake edges and  placed them on the edges of the Merry Christmas patterned paper. I attached the patterned paper to the center of the card.  And the last thing to do was to add the sentiment in the center of the open circle.

This was a fun card to make and I liked it so much I made 3 versions -
for Christmas, of course. LOL

I am submitting my card to the following challenges:

I hope my card give you some inspiration. Christmas will be here before we  know it.

I will be back soon with more projects to inspire you.
