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 goodness!!!!! This is one of those cards that a person just has to stop and take a long look at all the beautiful details. Love how you framed the magical scene to create the shaker card. You really created a masterpiece, Bev. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I agree this is one of the best challenges. Hugs

Bev, your card is outstanding. So many wonderful details to look at. I love the ornament shaker with the pretty house and Santa flying in the sky. The poinsettias with the perils look so festive on the front. This card is definitely “so you”.

A SWEET peek-a-book village scheme through your ornament window...such a beautiful scene, and such pretty coloring on your village and wee reindeer and sleigh. Gorgeous poinsettias...so much to look at, and more to love!
