Happy December, sweet friends! I hope you're having a beautiful week. :o)
Due to severe time constraints, my card is serving two purposes. Both of my teams have new challenges beginning today, so I tailored it to both themes. At Live & Love Crafts, we're all about Sparkle this month! In a few hours the new Deep Ocean Challenge goes live with the fun theme of Santa is Coming to Town. ♥︎

Sparkle abounds in the form of Glamour Dust, which cover every flower and most embellishments. The gorgeous Santa image is from Maja Design's Vintage Frost Basics, while all of the other papers are from Maja's new collection Home for the Holidays.
Sandy has a ton of new products in the store, including this stunning Button Etoile which I've set atop a Magnolia snowflake. Blue Prima Vax Cord secures Liberty Bells to the Penny Black Heart String.
Sweet Wild Orchid Crafts blossoms are nestled alongside Tulle and Valerie trims for fun texture. (Pretend some paragraphs aren't centered... not sure why that happened and Blogger won't let me fix it!)
Thank you for visiting and I wish you a sparkly day! ♥︎

I remember you telling me that you weren't happy with the way this card turned out, but I think it's lovely and judging by the comments above and the no of likes it received on LLC's Instagram, it'd seem we're many who disagree with you. :-)
