Trimming the Tree

Wow!  Can you believe it is Friday already?!  I was away for the weekend and came back home on Monday, so it seems like my week was even shorter than normal.  But, since it is Friday, that means it is time for another challenge from Christmas Stampin' All Year Long: Circles.  Yep, it's that easy, but you have to use at least three.  Our sponsor this week is Di's Digis and TWO lucky participants will win $10 gift certificates to the store!

My card at first looks rather square, right?  But when you start looking closer, I use a LOT of circles.  I used two different polka dotted papers; 3 buttons and lots and lots of rhinestone gems.  And I used a circle die to sponge around the outside of my image.  I even have a circle brad in the center of my snowflake.

Now, it's time to hop on over to the CSAYL blog, check out the full details and the other projects from the Design Team.  Then get inky (tomorrow is World Card Making Day afterall) and play along.
