PP745 Lots of Seasonal Circles

Happy Sunday, peeps! Hope your weekend is going along well!  Stef is our Paper Players hostess this special weekend and she has a fun challenge for us:


Fun! I love circles!  And I guess I am on a real Christmas card kick lately---here's another one for you!


This was a pretty easy, CAS card to make---the hardest part was choosing what patterns to put in the little circles!  The die is an older one from CTMH; the papers are all from Echo Park, and most of them were scraps left over from other Christmas cards!  The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs, and I simply added a wee little rhinestone for a big of sparkle!


I carried the circular theme to the inside as well....a few more circles and another sentiment from ODBD:


Since diecutting machines came out, circles are SO MUCH easier to create! I remember a stencil type of doodad with circular lines partially cut into it and you had to use a sharp stylus to trace inside the line to cut your circle....gaaaaah, mine never came out right!  Thanks to the person who invented the Big Shot and dies, right?!  I hope you'll give us lots of circles on your creation this week, and be sure to share it with us at the Paper Players blog!  Thanks for visiting and be blessed!

I love all your Christmas circles! Very festive! The sentiment with that bit of sparkle finishes it nicely. I first started making circles with the Creative Memories tool they had. I loved it!

That is one wonderful die and a great way to use up those scraps we all find so hard to part with. I really like this card and I can see how the die would work for all sorts of occasions. Of course, your amazing paper stash was to the fore again too. :-)
