It's beginning to look a lot like a non-traditional Christmas ... all through my blog. Those of you who know me, realize that I love using non-traditional colors for holidays. This card is no exception.
With excitement, I share with you my very first submission to the Color Throwdown challenge (#56).
Here is the color challenge for this week. Such a rich color palette from which to play.

I chose to make a big statement by using the Medallion stamp. Inked in Dusty Durango on Very Vanilla cardstock, this image is a beauty. Note: I also used the Sweet Season stamp set (snowflake image and sentiment).
Look closely and you'll see a Holiday Mini Catalog sneak peek on this card. A Sweet Treat cup is popped right through the Medallion's center.
The Sweet Treat cups will make their debut in the Holiday Mini catalog on September 1.
You'll find some vanilla pearls that I pulled from my Stampin' Up! pretties kit rolling around inside.
Just wait until you see what else I have in store for the Sweet Treat cups! Think Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Snowmen ... oh the ideas I have to share with you.
Need a Holiday Mini catalog?
today. I can get one in your hands by September 1. Get ready to fall in love with ... well ... everything!
With the weekend upon you - I hope you'll have time to play @ Pals Paper Arts. We can't wait to see all of your creations. This weeks challenge is to create anything but a card.
