Believe In The Magic Of Christmas

Hello bloggers!  I started with Pixie Powders for today's Christmas offering.  I used Lava Red, Scarlet Mist and Rich Gold, then spritzed it with water and allowed it to dry.  I cut the Mosaic Ray die out of antique gold card and glued it over the pixied background.  Using the Double Stitched Squares, I cut a multi-layered frame using a wide white frame on top and an antique gold frame underneath it.  I added a piece of acetate to the back of the frame then mounting foam to the frame.  I attached the frame over the Mosaic Ray background.  I cut the Believe in The Magic of Christmas sentiment several times out of white card and stacked them, then added a gold mirror card shadow and glued them onto the acetate above the circular centre area of the background.  Using a leftover piece of the pixie powder background, I cut the flower from the Poinsettia Stem die three times.  I added them over a white back piece and then attached them in a cluster in the corner with white leaves.  The card was completed with white and antique gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now.

  30. Hi Sue. Love the effect of this card, almost like a stained glass window in a church, but without being too religious, such a serene effect. Love those poinsettias too although I think I have already said that once before.

  44. It’s obvious some patients with HIV are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not cure it permanently. I have been with the virus for years until I was introduced by a  friend who also narrated her story online on how she was cured of Genital Herpes after using Dr James Herbal Mix Medicine.  I was cured of HIV/AIDS after the usage of strong herbal mix medicine Dr, James prepared for me. All thanks to  Dr James, for healing me. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and roots and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including ALZHEIMER'S DISEASES, Lyme disease, Bipolar, Rosacea,Psoriasis/ Shingles, Lupus, Parkinson's disease, Schizophrenia, Cancer’s, Bladder Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Breast Cancer, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, Lung Cancer, Skin Cancer, Uterine Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Fibromyalgia, syndrome Fibrodysplasia, Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease, Diabetes, Celiac disease, Antipathy, Ataxia, Arthritis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Adrenocortical carcinoma. Asthma, Allergic diseases. Hiv_ Aids, Herpes, Inflammatory bowel disease, COPD, Diabetes. herpes, Cancer, Vaginal burning, diabetics, asthma, EBV, HIV, hepatitis, Enlargement, etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was Cured of HIV and my aunt and her husband were cured of Cancer by  the same Dr James who uses natural herbs and roots extracts to cure different kinds of illness. Even Dr James proved to the whole world countless times that natural herbs can cure all kinds of diseases, and he cured countless people using natural herbs. I know it is hard to believe but am a living testimony. He prepared the herbal mix medicine and sent it to me through SPEED POST COURIER  SERVICES and I took it as he instructed. MORNING AND EVENING FOR 15DAYS, 7days later after the usage of his herbal mix medicine, I went to the hospital to do a checkup, the results came out, and I was NEGATIVE. There is no harm in trying herbs, it will  cure you of any diseases you are suffering from, so why don't you give herbs a try and see its effectiveness. Dr James herbal mix medicine it's easy to drink with no side   Contact Dr James on his Email .... greatcureman@gmail.com....INFO@drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com .AND GET RID OF YOUR DISEASES.
