I adore that poem. It sums up everything wonderful and special about Christmas, so when Jingle Belles posted this week's challenge from Amanda Profumo (Crafty Paper Girl) with the title "Visions of sugar plums", I knew it would be a wonderful prompt.
But to add even more scrumptiousness, we were given this style board that Amanda had discovered on one of her favourite blogs, Paperdoll Romance:
We could use any or all of this style board as a type of photo inspiration for our cards and there was so much to take in, I felt a bit overwhelmed. If I could have incorporated every single one of the photos into my design I would have. However, I was drawn to the colour, the name of the board itself, the old gold colour here and there, the bead droplet earrings, the snowflakes and the overall prettiness of all the photos together. I was disappointed not to have any tulle and will have to add it to my shopping list next time I am in town.
Anyway, here is Jingle Belles challenge #21!

ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, yes, i know what you mean about being overwhelmed by how FABULOUS the style board was and how many cool elements there were to use on a card! but you've done really *BRILLIANTLY* here in distilling down the "sugar plum essence" of the entirety into one GORGEOUS card! (i especially love that you've used the phrase on the card... i kind of want to go back and add that to MINE now!) <3 <3 <3
