Sparkling Snowflakes

7:20 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen | | Edit Post

Happy Thursday friends!! I hope you are all enjoying a good week. Winter is definitely on it way here in Virginia this week. The nights are very cool and most mornings we wake up to frost. The trees have mostly lost their leaves. It does get you more in the mood for the winter holidays. Like my dear hubby said, it is hard to put Christmas lights or a tree when it looks like Summer or Fall.

Keeping winter and Christmas in mind, I decided to share a sneak peek from Our Daily Bread Designs that will be released on December 1.....a wide array of GORGEOUS Snowflakes in the Snowflake Background and Sparkling Snowflakes stampsets.

I decided to make A quick Christmas card!! All it took was dry embossing with my Snowflake folder and Swiss Dots folder from Provocraft, some sewing (to secure the gold glitter paper...doesn't glue very well) and some gold embossing.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are somehow inspired by my creation. Have a blessed day!!

blessings,

Kelly L said...: Beautifully done in white and gold, Chris! :) I am getting in the mood for Christmas too here in Pennsylvania ... brrr, it's cold. Hubby won't like putting up the lights in the cold though. I really think we should start putting them up in early November and then just leave them off until after Thanksgiving instead of trying to put them up in the cold. LOL; November 29, 2012 at 3:51 PM

Sorry if I don't get a card done for the challenge this week, but my mother has been keeping me busy. (I did use an ODBD stamp on a box though, and am working on another box with an ODBD stamp)!; November 29, 2012 at 9:58 PM
