Mrs. Robin (Stamperrobin) provided an awesome challenge for today's Free For All Challenge! She asked that we just be ourselves and create a card that reflects our style. Robin, this is the best yet for a Free For All Challenge!! Thank you!
I enjoy making various styles of cards, but I love making cards with lots of elements and layers. I love making floral cards, but I especially love making wintry, snowman, and Christmas cards.
My shaker card reflects a snowy evening in a little town that is encased by a Christmas ornament. The town is surrounded with poinsettias, pine trees, pine branches, pine cones, and a cute little deer pulling a sleigh full of Christmas gifts.
My card also reflects the fairytale, Twas the Night Before Christmas. It's not a night scene; however, Santa and Rudolph are flying through the sky to deliver lots of goodies to children around the world. Thus, I am also submitting the card for the Dirty Dozen's monthly theme, Once Upon A Time.

Oh my stars, this just couldn't be any more gorgeous. Now, this is my kind of card. I didn't make this kind today, though, due to time constraints. There is so much good to look at on this card I will have to come back later to take it all in...have to run now. Straight into my faves, Bev.

I agree with you Bev, this is the best yet F4A theme. I have loved looking through the gallery and guessing who the creator is. ....Drum roll...I guessed this was your magical scene, not just any scene, but like a snow globe scene. I could sit and look in wonder at this for the longest time. WOW!!!

Your dp is Fabulous and works so well with your little village scene complete with that sleigh and reindeer! I love wintry scenes with snow....how sweet that yours is inside an ornament plus it's a shaker! Very nicely done, Bev~
