Christmas in June for MTTC #252 and 52CCT June Stash Challenge (Charms)

Hello friends and followers - happy weekend to you all!

It's not often that my DT challenges line up at the same time - but this week they did.

For both challenges it's Christmas in June.  Here's the scoop...

At 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown (52CCT), our hostess Louise has a stash challenge 

for us and she wants us to use charms on our Christmas cards.

Over at My Time to Craft (MTTC) Challenges it's my turn to be the hostess 

and MTTC Challenge #252 is Christmas in June.  

Here's my DT card for both of the challenges:

Digital image by Lacy Sunshine - Flower Pot Pretties "Holly"

I added lots of glitter and shimmer this time.  It's hard to see in the photo

but there is green and red Stickles glitter on the holly leaves in the image.

I also used silver Stickles and Liquid Pearls in lavendar on the ornament.  

The holly dies, sentiment ticket and silver ribbon and charm are all from my stash. 

The Christmas papers are also from a couple years ago.  

I'm feeling great about using up so much of my extra stuff to make this card :o) 

Isn't this little lady a cutie?  She is from Lacy Sunshine's Flower Pot Pretties group.

There is a fun challenge going on over on the Lacy Sunshine Facebook Group

called SAVE THE FLOWER POT PRETTIES.  This is my first entry in that challenge. 

I am also entering this card in these other great challenges:
