Season's Greetings


Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!


Hi everyone....hope you all had a great weekend! I know that many of you are in Hurricane Sandy's path, please know I am thinking of you and sending prayers your way. Stay safe!

I was excited to see a couple challenges that are Christmas themed...I really need the motivation to get started on my Christmas cards, yeah! Anyway, so as soon as I seen them I knew I needed to join in the challenges over at Crafty Ribbons ~Christmas theme and Inspired By Stamping ~Use the colors, Gold, silver and Blue using the photo here for inspiration...



My card base is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 using some pretty shimmery silver paper. I then layered the base layer color blue and then beautiful snowflake paper that I had in my scraps. I then added a pretty doily along with a shiny gold band which was embossed with the snowflake folder. 


The labels are from the Spellbinders Labels Eleven which again the gold layer was embossed with the snowflake folder. I pop dotted the tag which is from the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two and the pretty sentiment is from My Pink Stamper~Winter Punnies set. I found this fun glittery snowflake in my stash and was perfect to add as an embellishment to the card. I popped a butterfly to the center of the snowflake that was from EK Success-layering butterfly punch. 



I finished it off by adding some pearls, pearl flourishes, a big shimmery double bow and a small tag that I fussy cut along with a sentiment from My Pink Stamper~Christmas Wishes. I apologize for the picture of this. I just couldn't seem to get the lighting right on this, ugh! 

Thanks for visiting,
Sherrie K
