Prizes as shown below are by random draw, and creative favorites are voted on by the team.
I pulled a variety of dies together for a Christmas card. The dove is an old favorite, one of my earliest dies, in fact. Cheery Lynn Designs closed up shop years ago, but their high quality dies are everlasting in my craft room. The Spellbinders Blossom Nestabilities (circle) is even older. Relatively new are the Memory Box leaves and sentiment. Another retiree is the SU Subtle embossing folder which I used to texturize the card base.
I rather like how it came together with the teensy bit of dull gold shimmer cardstock for the sentiment and the accent under the leaf sprig, and I cannot complain about adding a Christmas card to my 2025 collection.
My Double D teamies have some lovely and creative samples to share with you, so pop over and have a look. I hope to see the players' gallery aglow with white.
Have a happy day!

White on white is so elegant! This is just lovely Leslie! 💕Sue K
One word....Stunning!
A beautiful and creative way to use the white on white with all the elements that seem to be made for each other, it's a beauty for sure!
OH MY STARS . . . this is stunning! That dove is gorgeous and love how you've made it appear he's ready to take flight! I'm sure white on white is difficult for you since you are such a beautiful colorist but you've certainly done an awesome job! Thanks for always sharing beautiful inspiration!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL white on white card Leslie! I too still have several cheery lynne dies that are definite keepers so I totally understand about the dove...it's gorgeous! I love all the details in the leaves and especially the touch of gold under the sprig. I wonder if SU! ever regrets retiring the "Subtle" ef...It's still one of my all time favorites and works so well to add just a simple finishing touch! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
You chose those dies very well for this card. The dove looks wonderful in white and I love the subtle texture from the embossed background xx
BEAUTIFUL! white on white is so classy and you knocked it out. And that touch of gold for the sentiment and under the leaf sprig - perfect. Have a great day
Leslie, your white-on-white design has tons of interest with those gorgeous dies, and texture you've added! You've aced it!

Oh my gosh, Leslie - that is stunning!!! This is a challenge I could almost consider taking. :-)
This is a one color wonder, to be sure! I too, have many old dies that I can't seem to part with. Timeless old gems never go out of style, like this dove. The touch of gold adds an extra does of elegance to this already stunning card. Glad to see you've gotten a head start for Christmas next year. You over achiever, you. ;0)
So pretty. Love the added gold shimmer. It's great how you pulled all those die cuts together.
This is a stunner Leslie! Speaks of peace without any added sentiment. The dove is such a beautiful, intricate die cut. Just lovely.
Your card is adorable and I love the composition here ♥
I love working with what I have just as you did with these amazing dies to make this card. That dove is stunning and makes a fantastic Christmas card. I love it all.
Your white on white is beautiful and so elegant! Wonderful layers and texture, and the gold is just right. I know you'll be back to pretty colors soon! The dove is exquisite.
I agree - white on white would be hard for me to make but you certainly did it justice with your card. I always like doves and I think it looks so stunning with the gold peace sign!
I am with you Leslie, I do like to add my color but I will have to say you did a beautiful job on this, the detail in the bird is just gorgeous, I love the added branch to her and the gold touches with the branch and the sentiment tops off the elegant look!
white on white is so elegant and I love that tiny splash of gold ♥
Absolutley stunning Leslie! You can't beat an all white card, one of my absolute favourites. Love that bit of gold! Perfection.
Classy & elegant! Stunning.
That bird die is so gorgeous, I LOVE it, and I love your design, it's so elegant and classy.
LOVE this! That Dove is magnificent! Beautiful design...and Peace--we all could use that right about now! So pretty!
This is so ELEGANT, Leslie! I love that dove that's definitely a keeper as well as all those other elements! How beautiful...
Your card is stunning...simply glorious! Nothing more elegant than white on white, in my opinion. Your choice of dies is so good.
