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 Bev, this is such a showstopper of a Christmas card. Wow! I am still trying to collect myself here. I love that this is a shaker card with santa and his sleigh inside this wonderful ornament shaker. The 3D poinsettia's with pine branches are truly gorgeous and complement the wonderful pine trees you added in the lower corner. The colors are stunning too! This is one magnificent card my friend. ~Karen.
