I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Hello friends!  Are you getting ready for the Holidays that are now upon us?!
I still have some decking the halls to do around my house and it seems like I've been so busy lately that I'm not able to get into my crafty area lately...so I'm going to try to find some time between all of this to do that soon!  Wish me luck! LOL!

I have some really FABULOUS and exciting news to share with you today as well!  I have been wanting to share it for a while now and here's my first chance!!  I have been invited to become a "team B" challenge design team member for

I have always enjoyed playing along with their fun challenges each week and I have also enjoyed a couple of appearances as a guest designer for them!  So now that I'm permanently a member of their team, I certainly hope that you can join along with us for some fun challenges and prizes! :)  I look forward to it!

ALSO.....wanted to let you know that Tuesday Throwdown is looking for a couple of new design team members to add to their team!!  If you enjoy challenges and would like to be on a DT, then please be sure to pop on over there to get the full details of how you can apply!  I'd love to see some of my crafty buddies over there with me! :)  So give it a go!!

Today is my very first challenge post with them as a design team member and for this week's challenge, they would like to see your "White Christmas" creations!  Please check out what the rest of my teamies have done to inspire you with their white Christmas designs!  Here's what I've done:

Ah!  Look at what I found!!  I just love a warm and cozy house sitting in the middle of sparkly snowfall, don't you?!  So inviting!
This image is from our sponsor this week, Robyn's Fetish and is called Christmas Cottage.  I've put some fine dazzling diamonds glitter on top of the roof and then I've used some "faux snow" or Mica Flakes for the ground area in front of the house.  Then I thought it would look nice with a circle doily behind it as well as some shimmer white embossed card stock.  I also found some gorgeous silver embossed snowflake papers!  The ribbon and pearls make the nice finishing touch! :)
Oh..it's hard to see in the photo, but I've also used some crystal effects on the windows so they have a nice shinny window look to them.  We can't wait to see your White Christmas designs too!

Here are some other challenges I've found:
Craft Your Passion - Snow
The Sisterhood of Crafters - embossing
Cute Card Thursday - snowflakes
Dutch Dare - Winter Wonderland
Sweet Stampin' - Ribbons and Snowflakes
2 Sisters - Christmas sparkle
Digi Galore - anything goes
Cupcake Craft - It'll be All White on the Night (white on white)

That will be it for me today!  Hope you can join along the fun with us and share your White Christmas designs!  I promise I will be back again soon with another something fun!  Thanks for stopping in and enjoy your day today!!
