Happy Holidays - Scrapbook Layout / Card Topper

Hi all :)

I trust you have all had a beautiful Christmas & a wonderful New Year?

We had all the children over with their partners, so therefore the house was pretty chockers with people lol.

My Daughter Zoe was pretty chuffed with her presents this year as I got her the laptop that she was hanging out for plus a new desk & chair for her bedroom.  I figured it will help since she starts high school in just a few weeks.

Before I show you my new design, I just want to remind you of the blog candy that is on offer for you.

Simply click here & enter for the blog candy...Jam Tilda Stamp.

You had better hurry though as Mr Linky closes very soon.

Good luck :)

Some of you who are regular visitors to my blog will notice that this design is of the same image that I have used before.  All of my designs are created to sell in my Etsy shop, therefore I create different items.  This one isn't a card.  It is a scrapbook topper that can be used on a layout as a header or title.  It can also be used as a card topper.

I decided to treat myself for Christmas & ordered quite alot of supplies at all my favourite online shops.  The majority of the orders I haven't got yet (prob due to the Christmas postal hold-ups) but I did receive one of them.  I used my new MS Artic Snowflake punch & the EK Success Decorative Corner punch.  I absolutely love them :) 

The swirl die cut I got about a month ago.

The white pearl brads look quite effective I think.

My tip for attaching pearl brads is to cut & snip the metal prongs off the brad before attaching it to your design.  Some people wouldn't agree with this but I find that they glue & attach better to other materials like ribbons etc.

I love the dimension that the pearls give to the design.

This design is available at my Dreamtime Designs Etsy store.
