A joyful knock-off.

You know how every year after the glamorous Oscar dresses walk the red carpet, there are designers who specifically sit down to create affordable knock-offs?  Like, this 10 000$ dress can now be yours for only 39.99$? I feel a little like that today.

After Papertrey Ink unveiled their Peace, Joy, Love dies, I designed my own version using the cameo silhouette:

The font and slant are different, but the concept is the same.  What do you think? Acceptable knock-off, or shameless copy?

I created this card for the current lawnscaping challenge:

I only used two little strips of patterned paper, but I really feel like a little goes a long way if it's well thought-out. The striped paper gives the card a pop, and the "let it snow" strip was a no-brainer to coordinate with the snowy top of the card.

I stamped the polar bear onto a piece of white cardstock and carefully stamped the snowfall border all around him before assembling the rest of the card.  Everything was then mounted onto a grey card-base.  This is the kind of card you could easily mass-produce.  Once I figured out where I wanted everything to go, it came together very quickly.

I hope you find time to play along with us!  You could win a prize from Simon Says Stamp:
