For the plate: I cut a big circle out of Shimmer White card stock, added a strip of Garden Green card stock and a piece of Vellum punched with the scallop border punch (kinda hard to see it in this picture.), stamped the greeting in Garden Green and added a Poinsettia (with Dazzling Details in the centre of the flower).
For the napkin ring: The poinsettia with Rhinestones in the center, is attached to a ring of Shimmer White card stock.

For the Candle Holder: Used Glue Dots to attach a strip of Shimmer White around the glass holder. It also has a strip of Vellum punch with the Scallop Border Punch.

Happy December 1st! Join me this month as I count down the days until Christmas! I'll share some cards, MDS creations, tags, scrapbooking and so much more.

Today's card was one of my last of four projects for Splitcoast Stamper's Creative Crew. I look forward to the creative projects the new Crew will inspire us with next month. If you'd like to play along you can go here. This month all of our projects had to use the same colour combination of our own choosing. Oddly enough the first colour I picked was Poppy Parade. Not that I hate the colour, just that it was one of my least favs! Here is the combo I choose:
So back to the card. For our DSP/Color Focus our challenge was to use our colour combo with the supplied sketch. I substitute the tree for the big circle, the taffeta bow for one of the smaller circles and added a little hint of Poppy Parade circles behind the greeting!

I love pocket cards! This challenge was to use the pocket card tutorial to make a scrapbook page. While looking through the Idea Book & Catalogue I came across a pocket card on page 165 and I just had to use it for inspiration. The hardest part was choosing the right photo to add to the pull out tags! I finally choose pics of my husband and I, one from college and another from a few years ago.
