Joy to the World

 Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Add a Sentiment

Here is my card for your inspiration:

Any time I don't have a need for a card for a specific occasion, I try to make Christmas cards.  I'm always running short, so it's good to build up the stash ahead of time.  So, that's what I did.  I found a fun sketch that allowed me to use up some scraps, and it was a win-win all around!  I also got to use a new snowflake die which I think I love!  To finish everything off I sprinkled around a few silver rhinestones.  They are so unique because they are actually silver and not clear.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
