Joy for CAS Christmas

Hello friends.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


We have a new challenge at CAS Christmas
My dear friend, Linda is hosting and she chose...

I found a smooshed background in my stash and cut it down as a base for
my snowflake Joy design.

The snowflakes and Joy sentiment were die cut from Dazzling Glimmer paper.

I used some Liquid Pearls in the center of the snowflake.

QACAS (Quick and Clean and Simple).

I hope you'll check out all the wonderful inspiration from our Design Team
and our wonderful Guest Designer, Claire.
Then put your own JOY on a card to share with us at 


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

This is fantastic Bonnie, and the blue background and the glittery paper snowflake and 'joy' sentiment looks wonderful against the pretty falling snow embossing, and especially popped up for dimension. x

Everyone so far has said it but I gotta add the same ... that smooshed background is gorgeous! and so good with the glimmer contrast of the dies...and the snow EF is just the right touch to set it all off. Reminds me that making a stash of varied smooshed backgrounds pays off and my stash is low so I need to fix that.

QCAS perfection. No surprise, I love the colour of your gorgeous smooshed background. The Joy sentiment and snowflake “dazzle” beautifully against it.
