challenges

 and

i have once again combined the pdss sketch challenge and the Christmas club challenge. the theme for this weeks challenge is    NON TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS
you can interpret this challenge however you wish, it could be non traditional colours or images, etc.

so i selected the bowling pin paper as it reminded me of snowflakes! i embellished it with shiny black buttons to mimic the idea of bowling balls. i cut out one of the "snowflakes" and popped it with glue dots and used a "holiday season" sticker in the centre.

i tried a second card, this time in non traditional colours-pink and green, non traditional images-waves as the blowing winter wind; flowers as the clouds and snowflakes as well as a non traditional sentiment-"scatter joy". it is hard to tell but i have popped the centre of the scalloped oval and the frame with glue dots, added green pearls, "joy" stickers and a pink and white striped border strip.
