CAS Christmas September 2022


 My friend Hideko has chosen a fun challenge for CAS Christmas September 2022!  I'm not much of a sparkle and shine girl normally, but I think the Holidays are the perfect time to put them to use!

I found two glittery papers in my stash - one silver, one gold!  And a gorgeous way to use them both - hope you agree!


This gorgeous cover plate die was another of the goodies I borrowed from Marcia during one of our crafty days together.  All I had to do was back it with that gold glitter paper and top it with this beautiful sentiment from Trinity Stamps [a lovely gift from my friend Coni!]

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
=] Michele

Thank you, CAS Christmas challenge for helping me
complete my Christmas card list each year for the last 4+ years!
Thanks also for this great honor:

I love it when a sentiment can make a card, Michele, and this one does it for sure, especially in that shiny silver. I'm thinking this will be one to borrow. ;)
