I LoVe this sentiment, don't you?!!
I feel like it's a part of the
'Great Commandment'
and
'The Golden Rule'
all wrapped into one sweet verse.
Speaking of LoVe...
Yep, you guessed it!
I absolutely LoVe this color combo
As your host this week, I wanted to help
inspire you to start creating your holiday cards
a little early this year, but I couldn't go with
the standard green & red...oh no!
How about a little
Green & Melon!
All of our designers were given a variety of amazing rubber
stamp images from this week's sponsor
This was my set....
As you can see, I only used a portion of
the large poinsettia image and the verse.
It's important in the creative process to remember
that you don't have to 'follow the rules'.
(not to be confused with following 'the golden rule')
In other words, when you get an idea in your
head go outside the box to make it work for you.
Just need a small poinsettia and all you have is
this big one? You get the idea!
Glenda Waterworth, owner of Elusive Stamps is
this week's guest designer and has most generously
offered our 'Cup of the Week'
Four amazing stamp collections
worth $100!
And that's not all!
For the first time, 'The Fab 4' will also
win one each of the same great collections.
So you have to play...
you have more chances to win!

and check out all the inspirational designs
from 'The World's Best Design Team'!
See you there!

Beautiful card Julia...I too LoVE the colour scheme though at moment not a clue what to do with them.....
Thanks for following my blog....yes I do like to have fun, isnt that what papercrafting is. Sarah will tell you ...the only time I panic is when I have to use a "needle"...major panic attack lol :)
Love the elegance of the card. The sentiment is beautiful and the poinsettia's are lovely!
Hi Julie
The colours you have chosen this week are my favourites. I call them garden colours...green for foliage and the either pink or red with white for the flowers..so romantic and beautiful.
I also have some lovely Elusive Images stamps.
Going off now to try to make something appropriate.
Best wishes

Oh, forgot to say how lovely the card is!

Magnifique pièce.
Très impressionnant et très élégant.
I'm only just getting around to saying thank you now and I wanted to say I love the card and it's very clever the way you extracted the poinsettias.
I have enjoyed playing along with the PDCC and hope we can do it again.
thanks
Glenda
