We're having another week of holly at
This is a snippet from the January page of this year's calendar.
I die cut the image, pulled out a snippet of black to fit it on,
die cut another banner, embossed it, wrapped some twine
and stuck it down.
A quick greeting and it was done before the daughters and grandchildren got here.
I'll go by Pixies Snippet Playground
for a quick swing.
and
and
Cuttlebug Mania is back from summer vacation with
I used my Big Shot to die cut the banners and embosss.
I hope ya'll have a wonderful week
and put some holly on a Christmas card to join us at
Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy!

So pretty Bonnie. LOVE that image ... I have it and had forgotten all about it. Need to pull it out. :) Great colouring ... the black really intensifies the other colours. Thanks for sharing with the HLS Christmas challenge. I'm going to add this to the HLS CAS - Colouring challenge as well. xx
ReplyDeleteOh what a pretty tag card Bonnie. You always make such lovely cards
ReplyDeleteFancy a game of TAG in the Snippets Playground do you? Right . . . I'm tagging you . . . you're IT! Go run after another player and tag them next!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Bonnie... this is gorgeous... everything just pops right out at your.. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge xx
ReplyDeleteBonnie, this is beautiful, love the wood embossing and the holly and bird and the banner shapes, Yep! I love it all.
ReplyDeletePhew, I managed to tag Jane Willis just before she reached the swings! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely beautiful Bonnie. Looks like a stand out card to me! Barbxx
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite SU images - no surprise, huh? Love that you've stamped on the fishtail tag with the score lines. Very effective designing. So pretty with the scant black mat & the larger wood embossed one. The candy cane baker's twine bow added such a delightful embellishment, along with the sparkle of the sequins. TFS & joining in with the HLS September Holly Challenge. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Bonnie. The image looks great on the fishtail banner and really stands out against the CAS background! xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of the calendar image Bonnie, and love the fabulous texture there on the white.

Gorgous card Bonnie. Lovely image and shown off wonderfully against the white and banner shape xx
ReplyDeleteNice card Bonnie. I see you have more than one stamp with holly, I have none. But having read your blog decided to give Cuttlebug Mania a try. As usual love the embossing.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love the image and the banners.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful re-using of your January calendar page!! Great idea! You've made my ideal Christmas card - birds, holly, traditional colours, and a bit of layering!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Bonnie! The image is so well colored and I love your layout.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card. I like the twine wrapped around those banners!
ReplyDeleteGreat design and a pretty, pretty card! Love the embossing on the banner and of course that image too.
