Joy to the World

I'm always amazed at what makes me buy a new stamp set ... sometimes it's just one image among many, sometimes it is a special sentiment in just the right size and font!

I love the small sentiments in the Merry & Bright stamp set and paired them with the layered tree from Favorite Season.

This was my first card ...

I thought that the string would perhaps be better at the bottom  - and I added more trees on this one ...

The Merry Christmas sentiment in the tree was embossed in silver to match the silver string, and silver liquid pearl dot.

Cutest Trio!

I think this trio will be a firm favourite ... even in the years to come!

I'm loving colouring with my Prismacolor pencils with gamsol!

Holiday Trimmings

Such fresh Christmas colours - gives such a frosty feel!

I added some diamond sticks and Nuvo Aqua Shimmer to give some sparkle.
