Getting Ready for Christmas!

Hi everyone!
I am the hostess of the July edition of "Getting Ready For Christmas" at Crafting By Designs.
We're working on building up our stash so we're ready when the 2012 holidays come rolling around.
The challenge is to use at least three things from the following list to create your Christmas card:
  1. Wings
  2. Angel
  3. Pearls
  4. Swirls
  5. Lace
  6. Ribbon
  7. Bow
  8. Tag
  9. Non Traditional Colors
  10. Paper Punches
I used them all and I am sure you'll have lots of fun combining this elements.
Here is my card:
The image is from The Stamping Boutique.



Visit Crafting By Designs for information on the prizes and sponsors.
I can't wait to see what everyone creates!
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Thanks!
Love
Julia
