Happy Holidays

 Well, I am still searching for the mojo but it might be in reach. I wanted to have a go at the current challenge at Jingle Belles which is "take a header" - to use their blog header as inspiration. I tried to incorporate a number of things found in their beautiful header including snowflakes, pearls, lace, stars and of course, the colours.


To help get me started, I used the starburst technique that I learned a couple of weeks ago at Donna's card class. We made a rectangular card in the class and I was itching to try it on a square card. Here is my card.

And here is the inside.

I would also like to share at:
 City Crafter challenge blog where the challenge is "Christmas in July"
and 
Merry Monday - use ribbon & button(s).

Thanks for stopping by!
Shanna 

What I used:
stamps: inner sentiment SU
Happy Holidays - CTMH
papers: some Echo Park others are scraps
doilies from SU
wooden snowflakes - Studio Calico
other random supplies
