Hello and welcome to April's challenge at
hosted by the Gingerbread Gals.
April Challenge ~ Family / Friends
Prize ~ please visit the CCAYR blog
My friend, Darlene, from Dutch Paper Crafts, always has something special for sale on her website. While going thru all the crafty goodness she has to offer, I came upon this little book called "The Square Little Book of Festive Deco Shimmer", by Hunkydory, and I just knew I had to have it. Now I don't normally buy things site unseen. I always research, investigate and look a loads of pictures before I buy something I don't know anything about, but this book just called to me and I'm so glad that I got it :-)
So with this month's challenge in mind, I made this card. I can imagine myself and friends in this grand setting enjoying a very glamorous Christmas party. Can't you? :-)
This little book has 125 shimmering sheets of 25 different Art Deco Christmas scenes. Each one is more beautiful than the other! It's truly good value for money! In case you're interested, here are the links to Darlene's websites - Dutch Paper Crafts, which offers pre-orders on new releases of stamps and dies, and Dutch Paper Crafts3, which offers special items, like this little book and other items that are in stock and ready to ship.
Now onto the crafty ingredients I used to put this card together:
Card size - 5.25" x 5.25"
Red card stock - GinaK
Gold card stock - Recollections
Frame - Baubles Frame - Amy Design
Poinsettias - Holly Frame - Spellbinders

Now it's your turn to join in the fun.
