WOW - I won last week's challenge over at Just Christmas and Birthday Cards with this Holiday Line Up card!!!! I'm over the moon about it too - not only have I made a head start on my Christmas cards and had a lot of fun - I've also won a really cute stamp!!! My hubby is rapt too - new rubber I haven't had to pay for - LOL.Now onto this week's fabulous sketch by Simone. I've cheated a bit by using a border of pin holes around the perimeter of the card to give the illusion of another layer - I just couldn't find anything I liked as much to go with the busyness of the image layered onto 2 different DPs from the Holiday Treasures set. The Ruby Red gives a lovely warm glow behind the snow globe image and I think it off sets the snowflakes beautifully. I just wish you could see the sparkle of the Dazzling Diamonds and rhinestones.
The image is from the retired SU set Snow Globe - a set I was reminded to use after I saw another snow globe card created by Leonie over at A Stamper's World this week - check it out here. It's such a fun set because it has various scenes to use.
It actually feels a little like a traditional Christmas at the moment - snow has started falling in the snow fields and the coats and scarves have come out to play. Having been born in the England I have fond memories of cold Christmases and the smell of baking at my Nana's house - no wonder we celebrate "Christmas in July" here in Australia!

Another great card Debbie and good for you, getting in early for Christmas. Love your take on this challenge - everything works so well.
Hi Debbie, love the soft colours and the image. Aren't you cold enough here without stamping snow??
Congratulations on winning the challenge.
Congrats Deb this card is just awesome and well deserving of the win. Free rubbar is always good! I'm still basking in my Mojo win and looking forward to my new rubbar too! It's already in the mail. I'm about to post my first Xmas card right now although there isn't a snowflake in sight. Perhaps I shouldn't jinx us by saying that because here in Wisconsin it just could happen in June:))

Wonderful card! I love what you've done with the image..the layer is great! The snowflake is awesome too. Thanks for sharing this at JCBC this week!
You were born in England? How fascinating. Where? When did you move to Australia?
I love that globe stamp set from SU. I sold mine long ago, though, because I discovered it's too hard to make Christmas cards... I just have too many to send, so I gave up. Isn't that terrible?
Do you really celebrate Christmas in July? I wondered about that.
What stamp did you win???
So many questions. Now I must get back to work. Lunch is over!
Hugs and love,
Lisa
