Happy Sunday, peeps and hope you are having a great weekend! It's Joanne's turn to be our Paper Player's hostess today, and she's chosen a lovely, traditional color palette that is perfect for some holiday creativity:
Ooh, I love any chance to use some gold sparkle in my crafting, and I just chose white as my other color. So here we go:
I matted it with Real Red before adding the foliage; it all went on a panel embossed with the retired Elegant Dots embossing folder and another Real Red mat. I originally had thought to put a bow under the "M" in Christmas....I put it to a vote, and Wayne said yes to the bow, Dana and Cassidy said no. So I went with no bow, LOL! Sorry, Wayne!
I hope you'll check out what the DT came up with using these colors...I am thinking someone may be clever enough to make a non-holiday card with them! We'll have to see! I hope you'll play along too, and add your card to the gallery at the Paper Players!
As I was putting up my Thanksgiving decorations last week, I came across my vintage Thanksgiving postcards! Many readers have said how much they like them, so since yesterday was Veteran's Day, I thought I'd share one of my favorites:

Beautiful card, LeAnne! Can't go wrong with those beautiful holiday colors! I love the embossed background, too! Your Thanksgiving postcard is awesome, too! You just don't see stuff like that anymore which is a shame. TFS
Beautiful Christmas card. Love the touch of gold sparkle.
Beautiful, LeAnne! The red, green and gold die cut foliage are striking against the white embossed background. What a perfect way to showcase the challenge colors! Have a wonderful week!
Love this LeAnne - your foliage frames your beautiful large sentiment perfectly and the white background shows off that touch of sparkle beautifully.
So pretty, LeAnne. I love all of the foliage with the touch of gold and the texture on the base of the card adds so much wonderful texture.
