Frilly and Funkie - Tis the Season

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie! We will be taking a break on the 16th, but we will be back on the 30th for one more challenge before the New Year chimes in! For this fortnight, the talented Nancy is our lovely hostess and she has chosen the theme 'TIS THE SEASON'. She would like you to create a vintage or shabby chic holiday themed project - whatever winter holiday you celebrate! One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique!

I'm very behind with my holiday cards this year, but now I can knock one more off my list. Is it just me, or am I stuck on the colour blue this year?? Hmmmmm, I will have to do something about that! lol

This card has probably been my worst experience ever with photography, I just could not capture the crystal glitter that covers the entire card. I took over 100 photographs and I just could NOT get the camera to grab even a hint of the sparkle, so I shot 20 seconds of the card in video instead!! Hope with have a quick look at this so you can see how truly glittery everything is.

A big thank you to my dear teamie Nancy Dynes of Tattered Treasures, who gave me the inspiration for this card with one of her gorgeous cards from last year. I pinned it way back when and then ran across it the other day. She is such a talented lady, you should really pop in and give her a visit.

The toy sign is from the Tim Holtz Ephemera Festive Package and the little JOY was stamped with a stamp from the Graphic 45 Christmas Carol set. That stunning piece of lace is from Linda's shop! She has the most gorgeous selection of laces, I'm completely addicted!

The papers are from Maja Design, the Summer Crush collection and the Vintage Frost Basics collection. The top layer I put a frosty pattern down with the Tim Holtz Flourish stencil and then covered the paste with Distress Glitter Rock Candy. The pearls are from Kaisercraft, the foliage sprig is from Sizzix Fall Foliage, it is also covered in three sizes of glitter!

The poinsettias were cut using the Tattered Poinsettia die from Tim Holtz. The poinsettia centers were punched with the new Spiky Floral punch from Sizzix. The twine and the gorgeous reindeer charm are also from Linda's shop.

GLITTER GLITTER EVERYWHERE

IT'S UP MY NOSE AND IN MY HAIR

IT'S ON THE FLOOR AND IN THE AIR

THE DOGS ARE COVERED - PUPPIES BEWARE!!

It's been pretty wet and miserable here this week, but that doesn't stop me from wandering around the neighbourhood with my camera! All the picnic tables and benches are deserted, it's just me and the critters left now. It was very misty out, but I had a hard time capturing that with the camera.

The plants sure do look different this time of year. They struggle in the cold, but these little flowers are surviving way past the other pretty petals around here! My cattails look very different too, although I really do still want to touch them! haha

That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.
