So being the final day I need to show you all the rest of the cards I made!  I even went as far as using the cover and the sentiment on the back of the Authentique 6x6 Believe paper pad.

#14


Here is proof this is the cover:


These were the last final scraps of paper.


I took some punches to them!


And here is what I came up with:

#15  Creative Memories hex punch, Stampin Up label punch, Stampin up Holiday Home stamp.  Mounted on white smooth card stock.


#16 same ingredients as above

#17 CAS with some washi and buttons and using a CM corner rounder.  Mounted on a eggshell smooth card stock.


#18  same as above

#19 another version of the white poinsettia from an earlier post.

#20!!!!  I used a sketch I saw at Inspired by Stamping but by the time I got this one completed the challenge was over.  I used Spellbinders scalloped circles and some fancy embossed paper.  My Craft dee Bowz tool made a beautiful bow!  The same SU sentiment and punch as above.  Mounted on white shimmer card stock which is kind of hard to see.

Next up is Anna!

Warning there are lots of pictures today!  I spent a lot of time on the project and have been creating this in my mind since late summer when I created my first explosion box.




Triple bow using my Craft dee Bowz tool.





Another perfect bow with Anna Griffin gold satin ribbon.


The center.  I thought about finding a miniature nutcracker so I made it easy to lift up the center sentiment should I find the elusive "perfect" center piece.


It's hard to tell but I used Wink of Stella throughout especially striking is the gold on the Nutcracker's hat and uniform.


I put a little pearl bling in the center of the flourish on each "page".



The ballet shoes are stamped and embossed with Recollections Vintage Pink.






I embossed all the candies with a "sugary" sprinkle!


I used some Stampin Up stamps as well as, coordinating Graphic 
45 stamps.



This companion page is a Tim Holtz die cut with a Graphic 45 coordinating stamp embossed with Judikins black detail then colored it and a scalloped circle Spellbinders die cut layer.


This companion page is a Tim Holtz flourish die cut with a Recollections pearl die cut on top.

Amazingly this is not every page!  I do not have the partner page for the ballet shoes page.


And the "page" for this one is Mother Ginger of which I also did not get a good picture.


The final layer.



I hope you were able to stick with me through all those pictures!

Next up is Anna!
