Thank You to Crestelle Clothing and Crafts

Thank you to our fabulous sponsor and all Le Crystelle Clothing and Crafts has done for us.  We got to play with the step-cards and wonderful dies or stamps.  

Be sure to visit our sponsor.

I love the deep red poinsettia against the stark white background.  A few little gems and a sticker for the sentiment is all it needed to complete this card.

I really like the sherbet color of the card stock.  A card made with this color remains soft and comforting.

Arlene is going crazy this month.

Yes, I'm up to using TISSUE BOXES AGAIN 

I just used the die over and over again to see how it would look built up.  

My poinsettias and leaves are made from ordinary tissue boxes, not even the really pretty ones, these were the ugly colors.You can see some of the close-ups at

Hang the Ornaments with Arlene

Ornaments make the holiday tree the best ever, but they should also be the star on a card.

Welcome to a month of holidays.

I wanted to remind everyone that we will be limiting the number of submissions to the Die Cut Divas' challenge blog to 4 maximum from August 2015 forward.  If you submit more than 4, the submissions after the last four will be eliminated from being chosen.  Thank you as always for your wonderful submissions.

 I can't go long without using a tissue box. My choice of die from Le Crystell was this gorgeous Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments set.  The largest ornament is perfect for those big box gifts. The largest die is 5 inches long and about 2 1/3 inches wide.  It's one of those "WOW" moments when you see the size.
