Sweet Christmas

Happy Friday, sweet friends! I'm posting on the Live & Love Crafts blog today, where we've been playing with Pion Design's new Christmas in Norway paper collection. It's a nice combination of whimsical and elegance.

I opted for the sweeter side, using one of the little Christmas darlings. ♥︎
Fluttering snowflakes surround him, where graduating pearls connect Pearl Snowflakes from the Sunflower Pearl Trim. The beautiful Pearl Lace with Beads lines the bottom as snow. My base is made with Spellbinders Timeless Rectangle. The ultra sparkly snowflakes and fern are Magnolia dies.
My festive arrangement rests atop Coco lace and includes sweet cinnamon sticks, which I've sprinkled with Glamour Dust and tied with red Natural Hemp. Tucked in and around are sparkling Beaded Pomegranate Apples in Cranberry Sauce. The sentiment is cut down from one of the Borders and trimmed in Glamour Dust (as are most things)!
A peek inside to show the precious All in a Row paper, which I love for its red and green heart-shaped snowflakes. ♥︎

Thank you for fluttering on by! Have a beautiful weekend. :o)

  29. Sorry again for being so late commenting; you've created amazing Christmas cards with the Pion Design X-mas papers. Luckily there were plenty of others who told you so! Again; this is outstanding work with the papers and they way you've combined them with the embellisments. Love how you added the drops to the snowflakes; such an elegant touch!
