Limelight's 12 Days of Christmas......Day 2!!!!!

Smiley from millan.net


Welcome!!! Are you ready for Day 2 of fun and festivities???!!!! I bet you are!!!! Limelight just can't help but celebrate and YOU are the ones who will be filled with JOY!!!! Check out all the details on Mandy's Blog and all the incredible sales at Limelight!!! A different one for each of the 12 days!!!

Check out this AMAZING stamp, Sleigh Ride, by Unity Stamp Company that Limelight has donated for the prize for my challenge!!!! How perfect is that for this wonderful winter weather!!!! Okay, well I've had lots of snow already and I love it!!! Isn't this an adorable stamp??!!! Want a chance to win it??? Well, just play along with my challenge today!

Mine is an Inspiration Challenge. This is a photo of my "front yard" so to speak. I love the look of a fresh snowfall........so pristine and glittery and sparkly!! The frosty pines are just gorgeous!!! Just take your inspiration from this photo and create a card or project!! Please leave a comment here with a link to your entry and I'll choose a winner!!! I can't wait to see what y'all create!!!! You have until Thursday, Dec. 4 to play and leave a link here. I'll pick a winner sometime that late afternoon/evening!!!


Here's my sample card. I used the new Gina K. set Tree Silhouettes. It's just lovely and embossed in white on the black cardstock gives it a true "snowy" feel!! I can't help adding embellies......and barely contained myself from adding more to the "empty" corners!!! LOL I hope you all enjoy this challenge and I look forward to seeing lots of entries!!!
