I don't think there are many of us who haven't known someone battling with breast cancer - so this is a great way to help raise some funds and boost your Christmas card stock. Lauren and Stephanie - thanks!
My last submission for WMSC was to make a couple of decorations for my Christmas tree, so this time I've made a card. And it's PINK!! I used distress inks to add some colour to the edge of a white card, then I added a couple of layers - deep pink satin mirri with a pretty snowflake paper on top. I used my nesties to cut out a large ornament - with three layers. On the top layer I stamped the coordinating ornament from Waltzingmouse and embossed it with clear powder. I cut an oval and added colour with distress inks. I stamped the sentiment in dark pink and added some glitter to the word "merry". I attached the ornament to the card and added some die cut snowflakes - the one in the top right was a present from Gay (thanks!). I'm really pleased with the way this turned out!

After all the hard work yesterday, I didn't half ache this morning. But I got on with some more sorting out and actually I'm feeling much better now. I spent the morning sorting through our office - so much paper work that I've allowed to build up and not filed. Well, I've shredded the stuff that's old and will finish the filing this evening. I was really pleased to get into my craft room this afternoon and hopefully I'll manage to have a quick play this evening too. That's all for now. See you tomorrow!

Wow ... love those rockin' snowflakes ... awesome ... so glad "went pink" with us at jingle belles.
Oh sooo pretty in pink, and I just LOVE that sparkly edge! It's usually so hard to capture with a camera so this one must just positively shimmer in real life! What a gorgeous way to combine these challenges, Deborah!
Brilliant card, what a magnificent bauble :o)

Well, my envy is in overload now!! This is a beautiful card!!! These waltzingmouse stamps and those very spellbinders are currently sitting in my shopping basket over at waltzingmouse just waiting for me to hit the 'checkout' button when I get paid!
I love perusing your blog, it's always jam packed full of inspiration. I'm hoping it'll rub off on me at some point :)
I can't get over how much you pack into a day. This is just striking with those bright colours & all the layers.
