Peace on Earth Christmas #95

I've been painting and coloring so many little images for Christmas!  But when it comes down to it, I do still love these gorgeous Spellbinders Betterpress plates in my stash!  Since they only come out once a year, they never go out of favor!  

These Spellbinders' Day/Night Pines set the stage for Peace on Earth #95 ... 


I paired them with LDRS' Snowflake Ornaments in aqua
and the Pine boughs capture the gorgeous citron glass in the top right photo!


This time of the year one NEVER makes just one!  Do you have a favorite?

Thanks Dar and Diane for inspiring my playtime today!

Oh, so pretty with the aqua and green! Beautiful snowflakes too!

Lisa Elton said...

Nope, don't have a favorite...they're both fabulous! That sure is a pretty press plate. All of that wispy pine just makes me happy!

Bobby said...

The 'press' in 'pressplate' really shows up on those lovely ornaments, Michele, and the color combo is exquisite.

Leslie Miller said...

A favorite? Sheesh, they're both so beautiful! I love these colors in any combination, and the pines are really lovely!

JoAnn said...

So pretty in aqua. Love the way you framed the 2nd card and the snowflake. The background is beautiful.

Marcia Hill said...

Hmmmmmmmmm...how do I pick a favorite when I love them both?!! Maybe the 2nd one a teeny, tiny bit more, but not by much! These are both GORGEOUS Michele!! Hugs. :0)

Cat Craig said...

Oh wow, they are gorgeous. One could almost believe seeing your cards inspired the mood board in the upper left. Great take on the inspiration.

TK said...

Ohhhhh how would I choose?! Both cards are fabulous, Michele, but the first really has an unusual color combo that definitely pulls the citron out -- nope, still can't choose!

Who could choose between such beauties both are fabulous in their own way.

Both so beautiful!

No favorite pick from me as both are gorgeous, each one has their own uniqueness and beauty. We are happy to see you at our challenge, we have missed you! Are you having the beautiful Michigan weather we are the next week (?), in the 80s, works for me!!

Nope, no faves--I love 'em both, especially because we don't get to see many snowflakes here in Hawaii. I love how you framed the snowflake on the second card and great color combo on the first. Two beauties, Michele!
