Double D Challenge - Christmas Joy

Christmas Joy is our theme for this first challenge in December.  How appropriate is that? 
But there is a twist, you must use the word JOY on your project. Diane, you are a tricky hostess. 

Here is the inspiration board for you. 

Lots of use of the word JOY. 

Well here is my story, I have a word die JOY, but it is in Flordia.  I know that I have it,  because when I looked in my bits box and saw it.  It was red card stock.  So I placed it on my desk and kept an eye on it. If I could not wait until traveling to Florida, I would use it. As you can imagine, I wanted to get this done and not have to worry about it, so I forged ahead with what I had.  

Here is the result
Too bad that you can't see the gloss on my JOY. I accidentally found this embossing powder in my stash and what a surprise for me. I will be taking this with me where ever I go. Seriously!

Of course, my friend Donna Phelan always does the inside and so I need to keep up with her. 

Supplies for this one are: Paper Trey Ink JOY die
The Greetery Botanicuts Pine Bough and Plaid background
Gina K Designs Festive Foliage for the sentiment.
Stampin Up embossing powder Glassey Glaze ( found this in my stash and I will not be without is again)



For anyone that enters this challenge, a random winner will be given this gift.

  3. Beautiful! Inside and Out!!! lol Years and years ago you sent me a bunch of those one liner die cuts, I still have a few. Your card looks AHmazing! Love that pretty red and glossy JOY and your background. The greenery and oine cones are a lovely accent! And you finished the inside! (now we just have to stamp our 'creation' stamp on the background when making--I always wait until mailing and it is a pain in the neck lol) Merry Merry!
