Unity FWF - Winter Wishes

Hi there! I uploaded these pictures early this morning so I could play along with Unity Friends with Flair this week! Right now we are at a hotel - we left our little town to find some places to do a bit of Christmas shopping - which meant a 4 hour drive, shop till we dropped tonight, a night in a hotel, then a little more shopping in the morning before heading home. (Home now - so filling in the details a bit!)

This was my first attempt at using Perfect Pearls. I had looked at them many times, and just never thought I would love them enough to spend the money on them. However...it just so happened that I got a set of them in my World Card Making Day prize pack, so of course I had to try them out! Now, I think I love them!
It is so hard in the picture to capture the sparkle, but it really is pretty! So soft and delicate! I used stamp images from the November 2012 KOTM. I started with the winter wishes, then added the other two parts, the reindeer and the sentiment.
I used some pattern paper from Webster's Pages, and some vellum on the bottom that I ran through my Cuttlebug with a snowflake embossing folder.
Finished off by adding some twine, a little jewel, and lots of Tim Holtz distress ink!

Sorry it took me so long to get this post finished! Hope you are having a great weekend - I have definitely had my fill of shopping for a while! So fun - but nice to be home and unloading!
