I have company this week and was actually considering posting later in the week for today's FS challenge, but when I saw it was SmilynStef ... how could I not play today?!!!
Beth, thank you for honoring Stef! And Stef, CONGRATULATIONS! This is so well deserved and I am so happy for you! I love your creations! Enjoy your day and week!
Because I was so frightfully late with holiday cards this year, I decided to start now for next year. (How sad is that?!!!) So I changed Stef's bloom to the Medallion bg stamp and off centered it, used similar colors, then added some Stickles around the medallion.
Stef, thank you for letting us CASE from your wonderful gallery today. What a joy!
Thanks for looking everyone and have a fabulous day!

Amazing, stunning, dramatic- how many adjectives can I find to describe this beautiful creation. The warm colors on the DP partnered with your signature gold touches are the perfect combination. Adding my favorite embellishment- PEARLS- just puts this over the top for me. It's already in my favs to try to duplicate. Well-done, M!

I know what you mean M, I started holiday cards in July and still I was short some cards and didn't finish up in the time frame I had hoped. You made a beauty here. LOVE the colors and that gorgeous medallion. What a tribute to Stef as FS today!! TFS!!
