Bling sounded like a great opportunity to make a Christas card, so I've chosen My Christmas Snowball for this one.

My papers are from the First Edition Vintage Noel paper pack.  I've inked all the edges.

The image snowflakes are Prima Metal Embellishments, and the others are some very old brads from my stash.  The shiny dots are Tim Holtz Metallic Droplets.

I've added a strip of Ultimate Crafts lace and 49 and Market flowers.  The little pinecones are from my garden.

PAPER NEST DOLLS CHRISTMAS

 I have the honour of Guest Designing for Paper Nest Dolls today.  Having been on the DT full time, until a few months ago, it has been lovely to create a card with these cuties again.

This adorable image is a combination of two from the Snow Globe Bundle.  The best part, is that you can swap out the contents of the snowglobe with any other image from the collection.

I have coloured the image with Copics and added a few white gel pen dots.  I also wrote the Merry Christmas on the metal plat on the snow globe base.

My paper is from the DCWV White Christmas paper pack.  It had glittery snowflakes all over it.  I've added two ribbons, one in glittery webbing.  My flowers are a mix of I Am Roses, Pink Paislee and Blossoms by Vivaldi.  I've also added two little Carta Bella enamel dots.

There's lots of inspiration to see in the Paper Nest Dolls Facebook group, so be sure to pop over for a look.

Thanks for stopping by today!

YOUR SCRAPBOOK PLACE NOVEMBER CHALLENGE

 

I have the honour of Guest Designing for Your Scrapbook Place this month, and as such, I got to work with one of the adorable images from our sponsor the month, Fabrika Fantasy.  The image is called Young Marguerite.  

I have coloured the image with Copics.

My paper and the wonderful sentiment pile is from the Stamperia Garden House Collection.  I had planned on adding more layers, but the paper is so pretty, that I didn't want to cover too much of it up.

I've added a Celebr8 laser cut heart swirl, that I've coloured with Copics, and a pinwheel by Ultimate Crafts.  I've then added a few Carta Bella enamel dots.

There's super prize up for grabs this month, so be sure to get you entry in.  You can find all the challenge details here.

I'd like to thank Claudia and the team for inviting me to create alongside them this month.

Thanks so much for popping in for a look!
