Reach for the Stars

Are you ready?  Did you know there are only 31 days left until Christmas?  Now, in my part of the world that means the 'waiting game'.......for snow!   Not that I'm a big fan of the white stuff or the cold temperatures that go with it, but this week's challenge at Charisma Cardz is sure to give you that nice warm fuzzy feeling.  How about a project using SNOWFLAKES!  There are lots of snowy images to be found, or lovely snowflake embellies.....let your creative juices flow, while you stay warm and cozy in your craft space!
Our wonderful sponsors this week are:
(3 packs of die cuts of winners choice!)



 (£10 voucher!)

and

(6 individual Digis of winner's choice!)

I've chosen this Mo Manning image (Hangin' the Star), which I've had for a while.  It's cut and matted with my Nestie die (labels twelve), with a layer of glitter paper and another of white cardstock, inked to match.


The white card blank is embossed with a polka dot folder.  Working with white on white, I've added a  glittery ribbon and bow, plus a nice sparkly snowflake from Michaels.  Keeping it simple, just a few stars, sprigs and pearls finish it off.  I don't think I've every worked with this much white before (lol)!

Before you leave, head on over to see the rest of the DT projects (here), where you are sure to be inspired, and maybe even amazed! 

We're all hoping to see your snowflake creations this week, too!
