CRYSTAL WREATH

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

We have had some super good friends come to spend the weekend with us and have had a great time catching up. Our homes are hours apart so we sadly don't get to meet up as much as we would like but at least it makes it extra special when we do.

Once they left I decided I had better settle down to make a few Christmas cards as my friend "wiped me out" of every Christmas card I had in my "for sale" box .. .. my lovely Sis won't be impressed .. .. she was hoping for a load for the salon racks this week!!  LOL!!!  Looks like I will be having another super busy week this week!!

Anyway, here is my share for today:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3986J" Crystal Wreath
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Snowy Days Sentiments"
WOW!! Opaque Embossing Powder:  "WL01SF" Bright White Super Fine
Josy Rose:  Gems
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Glamour Dust
Ribbon and Dimension Pads from my Stash Box

I am entering this into three challenges:

1.  Pixie's Snippet Playground Week 97 .. .. use up some of those pesky snippets

2.  Penny Black Saturday November Challenge  .. .. Sparklers .. .. as in sparkly and glittery Penny Black creations

3.  WOW!! November Challenge .. .. Christmas and Winter

and that is me for today.

Busy week ahead on the wedding and Christmas card front but hopefully I will find time to share a little of what I create at some stage.

Have a lovely week everyone.

Love

    Good evening Jules,
    Another stunning creation.
    That's great you managed to sell so many cards, good for you.
    It does create the need to make more though.
    Cunning with the "heart" on this one!!
    Have a great week

    So glad you were able to enjoy some quality time with good friends. That restores the soul. This is so lovely, with your white embossing against the kraft. I love this wreath image, the pretty stitching, and I think I found the hearts on the rhinestones (??). So very beautiful, TFS & Hugs
