Some happy news!

Hi everyone!  I'm so pleased to tell you that I'll be a guest designer at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog all this month of December!  Many thanks to Joy Taylor for recruiting me - I know we're going to have lots of fun!  I hope you'll join me every Wednesday this month as I play along with the Design Team!

This week, Joy has provided a beautiful photo montage:

Beautiful, isn't it?  My eye went right to the music and the many greens, so here is my take on it:


I used these Hero Arts stamps: Classic Holly, Music Background, and Sending Holiday Cheer, these Spellbinders Nestabilities dies: Classic Oval Large and Scalloped Oval Large.  I also used old paper distress ink for the subtle music behind the holly branch, and I coated it with Glossy Accents to give it dimension.  

I hope you'll join us this week at the Simon Says Stamp blog - there's a $50.00 gift certificate up for grabs from the Simon Says Stamp Superstore!

    Congratulations. Super with the traditional seasonal colours & I especially like the way those holly leaves extend beyond the image panel & your gorgeous little bow.
