Waltzingmouse Blog Party

WELCOME to the Waltzingmouse Blog Party! We're all featuring SOMETHING SWEET!! For my entry I chose to create some Lollipop Trees! 
Since I made my card this past weekend, I also used this week's WMSC featured sketch. The trees are from Tiny Trees topped with peppermint candies from Candy Jar Christmas-Fillers. A dusty of Martha Stewart Coarse Glitter adds the sparkle! The sentiment is from Say It Loud and I used a shadow technique using two inks-Amuse Latte and Memento Rich Cocoa. The Polar Expressions-Frosted Forest patterned paper is from Imaginisce--it seemed a perfect choice for a background. I used both sides to create the stripe pattern. The trees and glittery snow in the paper help carry out the theme.

Now I'm off to see all the other entries! Please come along and enjoy the party!!

Have a SWEET day,
Sharron
