As You See It Challenge #015 - Using Up Your Bits

Well, it's Friday again and that means another As You See It Challenge and this time the challenge was a tough one.  But it looked to me like a good opportunity to use up bits and pieces of my Christmas DSP before the season was over.  It was also a good opportunity to use some of the seasonal stamp sets I hadn't used yet.  Here's Amanda's great sketch:

And here's what I did with it:

• I used Season of Style scraps plus a little Champagne and Cherry Cobbler Glimmer Paper and some Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso cardstock for the colour scheme of this card.
• The two stamps sets I made use of were Warmth and Wonder, a hostess set from the Holiday Catalogue and A Banner Christmas.  Those small images were perfect for this project.
• I trimmed and arranged small pieces of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to figure out sizes and placement for all the little boxes on this card.  Then I measured and cut the DSP or other paper to fit them.

• I love the deer and cardinal images from the Warmth and Wonder set and even the small Noel that usually goes with the bird but I stamped it separately.
• The JOY letters come together like three banners strung together, but I separated each one by cutting around it and cutting off the banner end to make it fit on the small squares.  Each one is popped up with dimensionals.
• I used two different types of Designer Buttons -Regals Collection and Naturals.  The dark brown medium Naturals Designer Button has been threaded with Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine and a bow tied.
• The little fork bow above the Noel in the bottom right corner is just the right size for this square.
