I thought I'd follow up my latest red and green Christmas cards with a blue and white Christmas card this time for a little change.
I saw this Christmas card done by the FS this week, jojot, a/k/a Joanne!!! I fell in love with it and knew I had to case it whether she was the FS or not; and, to my surprise, she was selected the FS this week. What a fabulous gallery to choose from - Joanne, ENJOY your special week.
I LOVED this CAS card and they are so hard for me to do.
I changed the golds to blues, a punched border rather than ribbon, different corner rounders and added a sentiment, extra snowflake, extra bling and a different embossing folder.
I LOVED the ribbon Joanne used SO MUCH, but I couldn't find the "perfect" one to go with my color scheme, so I used a decorative border punch instead of ribbon and popped my snowflake up on some embossed circles, I added my sentiment with mat and an extra snowflake in the left corner with little blings scattered around. I used this beautiful sparkly blue paper in place of the gold. I really didn't want to change anything from Joanne's orginal card because I loved it so much!! Thanks Joanne for getting me one card closer to my goal for Christmas.
Thanks for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, let me know what you think! Have a great week!!

Oh Pam!!! Barely home from dog-sitting for DD and I decide to quickly glance at the latest gallery uploads....this just jumped off the page! I knew immediately it was one of your fabulous creations! I see you lost your marbles again while I was gone... This is just wonderful (except for the fact that I am in total denial that w**ter and sn** will return before we know it - I had to block out a couple of letters as I can't quite bring myself to type the words just yet)... Love the 'Perfectly-Punched-by-Pammy-border' and everything else about your card - I have Joanne's card in my faves too (and now yours is there as well) so I too have a couple of beauties to CASE when I am able to deal with the cold season that follows autumn (which btw, hasn't even started yet). So, if you've stopped making summer cards, don't skip autumn!!!

I too, get stuck on red and green for Christmas. This is really beautiful. I hope you don't mind - I think I'm going to try something similar for at least some of my cards this year!
