Peace on Earth

Happy Thursday my friends.  I loved hearing what you were thankful for yesterday.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

So often I forget about my patterned papers, but when I was away on my scrapbook weekend, I was intentionally trying to use some if it. I love the more subtle patterns like this paper from My Mind's Eye with the flourishes and text.  I always love the Jay Gee's Nook challenge, and particularly loved the Noel portion of the inspiration photo.  I took inspiration from both the colors and the wreath. And I used one of my newer dies from Memory Box.  Love the end result with the touch of gems!

Stunning use of pattern. Love that the wreath is white, makes it subtly stand out (is that an oxymoron?) from the background.
