Hi there! Hope you are off to a great start of a new week! I spent nearly ALL day Monday enduring the juror selection process for a 3 week open ended trial and was thankfully dismissed! It has been 18 months since I last had to serve on a 3 day trial so I was skipping out the door, feeling quite lucky to have not been chosen! Just being honest... Just curious, does anyone ENJOY jury duty??? I LOVE my job and would rather go to work ANY day over attending jury duty!
On to crafty matters ~ it's Tuesday and that means it's time for an all new
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge and time to welcome
Theresa Pollack who will be sharing her awesome creativity with us as December's Guest Designer! This week, Silke is our wonderful hostess and she is challenging us all to create a project based on the sketch shown below:
My card features the darling scene from
Joy Is In The Air as the focal point framed using a circle die cut then layered on top of a doily. I stamped the Joy sentiment from
A Gift For You then stamped the cluster of snowflakes from
Joy Is In The Air. I colored the sweet image to coordinate with pretty patterned paper from the digital
Pink Paislee digital Holiday Magic paper pack:
I adhered a layer a glitter to give it a winter wonderland look ;)
Thanks so much for visiting!

sweet card!
Hi Mona! what a sweet card! I love the cute snowman image popped up on the die-cut! The soft color palette is perfect and non traditional which makes it so unique. I have never suerved on jury duty so I have no idea if it is good, bad, or indifferent. I do know I would be the one stuck on a verdict because I always see truth in both sides of stories and look for good in everyone. I think my peers would be annoyed with my indecision. Hope you are doing well!
Such a beautiful card and so cheery ...
I only did jury service once ...You have to serve for 2 weeks minimum ... here in this city I found it scary ... at the end of the day the accused (on bail) actually leave the courts with you ... at the same time through the same door!! So unless they change that system I would not like to do it again!
So fun and so BEAUTIFUL Mona! Love the colors and that beautiful image!!!
Jury duty! That's thankfully something, as a non-US citizen, I was able to escape :) It certainly doesn't seem like something a lot of people enjoy ;)
i love love love your color combo! Thanks for the inspiration!
Your card is so sweet! Love the colors and papers you chose.
Hugs and smiles
Glad you didn't have to get tied up with jury duty! 3 weeks without seeing your beautiful creations would have been torture for me!!! LOL!
Love this sweet card, Mona! Beautiful mix of colors and a darling image! TFS!
Just PERFECT and GORGEOUS!!~
Cute card Mona!!! Really love this pretty image!!!
Love these colors Mona!!! Beautiful stamp and I love your stitching as always!!!
This is so pretty Mona, what a gorgeous image, so beautifully coloured and glittered! Love it!
Ok, the first words in my head were: "Why can't I do that? I can see a design in my head, but it doesn't end up that way" :) Seriously, this is super cute and Amazing!! I love, love your art (that's what it is to me) and I love, love every Tuesday's Flourishes blog hop so I can enjoy it!! Thank you so much for inspiring us!! :)
Can't believe in all my years I have never been called for jury duty! Knock on wood-I think my son being a police officer would really hinder them accepting me.
This is so adorable and the glitter layer is perfect-love it!
Gorgeous, Mona! So adorable! Glad you didn't get stuck on jury duty!
Beautiful and very sweet card!!! I love the papers you chose! TFS!
I absolutely adore this card!!
Adorable card, Mona!
This is wonderufl Mona! So festive and cheerful. Love the colorful snowflakes and the glittery image!!
How beautiful, Mona, and what you did with the sparkles is awesome!!
Mona, your card instantly brought a smile to my face! What a happy and festive card! I love these colors and adore that darling stamped image! Love that snowy glitter! Thanks!
SO sweet, Mona! Love the colors, your choice and mix of paper and your glittery image is just darling!
So cute. I love the image glittered. I have never been called to Jury duty. Most of my adult life I have been in Ia. There isn't a whole lot going on here. I might actually like it....maybe. :)
This is so pretty.. I love how you glitter over the image such a great effect.. I have to agree.. I hate jury duty!!
Hugs, Linda
This is so lovely Mona! I love the designer papers and how you colored the image! About the paper...do you just print out with normal cardstock? I never print DPs before and I was wondering they eats a lot of ink.
Wow, Mona, what a lovely card! Gorgeous colors and I love the patterns in the paper! Great stamp too! Glad you got lucky with not having to stay for jury duty!
This is gorgeous, Mona! I love the glittery snow globe and the pretty holiday papers! Glad you didn't have to do jury duty!
Beautiful digi papers, love the card Mona and no I don't enjoy Jury duty either, lol.
Beautiful card, Mona! Love those papers and the beautiful image! No jury duty!!! Hoooray for you!!!
Very pretty design!! I just love these digital papers you used! And that stamp is so sweet!
This is fantastic, Mona! I love the colors and the "sugared" look of your image is so sweet. Gorgeous!
Love the colors and the glitter all over the image is wonderful!!! My DH had to call in Sunday note for a potential 3 week jury duty and lucky him...wasn't picked!!!
What a sweet and FUN card Mona. The colors are so cheerful. Love the image and the sparkle over it. The stitching and the tag are fabulous! I am not a citizen... yet... so I don't have to worry about JD. My hubby didn't enjoy it though...
Love, love, love this color combo! I am so tired of brown and gray. Great coloring on that image and the glitter really kicks it up to a whole new level! FANTASTIC.
Another beauty, Mona! Love that stamp with the glitter; looks like snow! I don't think you can love jury duty unless you have nothing else going on in your life. With the demands of a job and/or family who has time to enjoy it. I've been picked twice in my life and have struggled through the inconveniences! I guess I should be happy to be fulfilling my civic duty but still I too would rather go to work or be at home with my family! Now stepping off my soapbox...
Oh how gorgeous Mona!! Love the colors, paper, coloring and added glitter!! Beautiful as always!!
hugs,
Chris
Awesome looking card, Mona! Love the "snow" covering that beautiful stamp! It gives such a nice texture! Love the pretty digital DP too! So glad to hear that your dodged the jury duty bullet!!!
Ohhh I LOVE the pink and teal colors!!! So pretty!!

Very adorable card, Mona! I love how you mixed those beautiful papers! Such gorgeous colours! The stamp is so beautiful as well; love the glitter! Thanks for the inspiration!
Mona, this a lovely card! I love your color and paper choices and that great glitter! Thanks for your kind words on my card. I have been called for jury duty several times but only chosen once....not any fun.
