FFC32 - Merry Christmas


Time for a new Festive Friday Challenge! Here's our inspiration photo:


I chose to focus on the cushions on the chair. I cut the Memory Box trees to leave the negative in the sand panel and then cut another one in white, to enable me to cut and pop up the two larger trees for some interest. And it's not Christmas without some sparkle, so those two trees are coated in Stickles!

This photo is a feast of inspiration! There are so many ways to go with it - I just can't wait to see what you come up with! The deadline for this challenge is Wednesday June 4.


ETA - I used a Verve sentiment - here's a link.

  3. sigh, I really need to stop waiting until I have a free hour to catch up on your blog, as that is just not going to happen! Love your fresh and snowy trees, and of course how you have the sentiment perfectly centered under the second glittery tree.
