Hello again! It's time for a new Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge. Can you believe it's only a month till Christmas? Heck, we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet here in the US. Ah, well, some things we just cannot change, other than to learn not to stress. I gave that up a long time ago!
The inspiration board today is focusing on a lot of blue, white, and silver. Use it if you wish, or go your own way.
I've been trying to pull from my spare parts drawers as much as possible, and it just happens that I had a white card base stamped with blue snowflakes, so that was my starting point. I pulled the white frame from the spare parts, too, and then the rest of the card was created new -- the die cut snowflakes, embossed panel, and sentiment banner.
If you're already done with this year's cards, now is the time to start on next year's. We can do it! Come and see us at Peace on Earth for all the important info and inspiring team samples. We'd love to have you play along. Happy holidays!

I don't have a spare parts drawer but you are making me rethink that. I love the blue stamped panel you found and that embossing folder is just perfect. Of course the addition of the snowflakes just rounds out the card. Well done!
I just love your beautiful card and that back panel was made for this card, it sure is pretty, speaking of pretty, your entire card is beyond pretty, it is beautiful with all the sparkle! I for one am not done making this years Christmas cards, I guess I had better get on the stick as they say and get some done! Have a Happy thanksgiving!!
WOW! LOVE those snowflakes and your overall design is just fabulous! Happy Thanksgiving my friend! Thanks for beautiful inspiration (as always!) Hugs
This is gorgeous!! I LOVE the way you did the embossing on the snowflakes. STUNNING design.
BEAUTIFUL. Love the snowflakes and irr. embossing powder. Have a great day
These glittery snowflakes are gorgeous, Leslie! Love the rich blue and so pretty with the stamped snowflakes in the background. It's always good to use some of those leftovers especially when they go together beautifully!
I love that you pulled from your "spare parts drawer"! Such a pretty card. I love all the blue especially with the iridescent embossing powder. I should use more of that. I have too many craft Christmas projects started. I hope I get to some cards!
Beautiful colour in your snowflake ♥
Way To Think out-of-the-box! Your handmade glitter paper snowflakes are to die for and I would never think of using a peacock glitter on a brilliant blue cardstock and it came out so luscious! I still have that snowflake SU set as well. Love it. You're such an inspiration and creative genius!
Wow that is gorgeous, those snowflakes turned out so stunning with that embossing powder. I love how you brought all the goodies you had together!
Love your Gorgeous blue die cut snowflakes and then heat embossed with the glittery very pretty EB powder. Sweet snowflakes background and dry EB snowflake background. TFS your beauty, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Brilliant colours, lovely designed card with those gorgeous snowflakes. x
Gorgeous gorgeous card Leslie. I love the single gem centers of your flakes. The center embossed panel makes me smile. Lots of love in the making of this card.
Love your 'jumping off' point, Leslie, and how you've been able to use some of those items in your 'to be used' drawer! They came together in the most beautiful way!

How beautiful are those shimmering snowflakes! I love the glitz paired with the pretty embossed panel and frame. A gorgeous card!
i had to smile at your hubcap comment. I must get some of the iridescent embossing powder. Perfect for Christmas snow flakes and ornaments. I really like your layout. Putting the frame with an embossed layer behind is perfect for the preetty snowglake background and the gorgeous snow flakes.
Very pretty! I love the simplicity. How wonderful you are using up some "card parts" - I need to get out my book of card parts and start using some of them, too. Thanks for that inspiration! I love the glittery snowflakes. How funny that they had looked like hubcaps. LOL!
Happy Thanksgiving my friend! Your card couldn't be more fitting for that photo... It's stunning!
WOW this is gorgeous. The blue snowflakes are amazing Leslie. So nice to have the card base in your spare parts drawer to give you the starting point, sometimes that's all we need to get rolling! So elegant and festive! Love this.
Beautiful card Leslie! LOVE the gorgeous and glittery snowflakes! xx
Very elegant. Love how you embossed the snowflakes.
