A Christmas Song for the December Sparkles Christmas Challenge
Welcome to the December, 2024 edition of the Sparkles Christmas Challenge! I’m hosting this month’s challenge and I chose Snowflakes for our theme. When you get finished here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to view the creations from the very talented members of our design team. After you’ve created your own themed card, please don’t forget to upload it to our gallery.
Here’s my card based on a Christmas song:
It Pays to be a Paper Collector:
At first, I didn’t know what I was going to do for this challenge theme. In the end, I think it turned out great.
Sometimes it really comes in handy to be a collector of DSP (designer series paper), even though I have purged an incredible amount of paper in the past 6 months. I did keep just a bit of retired Christmas DSP, and this paper comes from that stash. As a matter of fact, the DSP, embossing folder, Poppy Parade ribbon, and stamp set are all retired. I guess it’s time to purge some more. I’ll make two girls very happy, again, when they get yet more hand-me-downs of craft supplies.
The current products are the deckled rectangle die set, which I used to crop the DSP on the front. The deckled circle dies used to crop out the Shaded Spruce mat and the white cardstock sentiment circles are also current.
Thank you very much for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
