Day 3 - "C"

One of my favourite aromas at Christmastime is cinnamon, especially when it's being baked into something delicious! I add it to pancakes, French toast, biscuits, slices and cakes, and one particularly fragrant year, I even created salt dough decorations to hang around the house.

The depth in your coloring is amazing and both the dies around and at the bottom really set your card above the bar!

I love the smell of cinnamon and it gives a special taste to all kind of baked stuff. I wonder how your salt dough decorations look like?

Love that gold frame and love cinnamon. I had it in my smoothie this morning.
I also love all of the inspiration words you are sharing each day. So many things I would not have thought or had not even heard of.
I learned something new today: celadon = a term for pottery denoting both wares glazed in the jade green celadon color, also known as greenware or "green ware" (Wikipedia).

Prachtige kerstkaart met de mooie warme kleuren.
De lekkere geur van de kaneelstokjes geeft een warme gloed in deze tijd van het jaar.

This card is beautiful. I have this set and every time I look at it, it reminds me of an oven mitt. That no way takes away from your beautiful card, I just wanted to let you know.

Just come home from a few days away, so playing catch up with making Christmas cards for this challenge. Fabulous card, the gold gives the card an extra elegant look.

I love the smell of cinnamon. It always reminds me of Christmas, even when I make apple and cinnamon in July! xx

GORGEOUS card Beccy!

The golden accents and design are SO ELEGANT and the image is coloured beautifully, the colours work perfectly together - LOVE IT ALL!

It's funny how aromas can trigger special memories. My one for Christmas is the aroma of Grandma's "real" calico bag steamed plum pudding ... there are so many fun moments and, some not so fun moments that still remain a conversation topic, year-after-year :)

Oh yum! Cinnamon is definitely my favorite too! It great for helping inflammation. I need that for my arthritis so I always up the cinnamon in all the recipes I use it in. Beautiful card! The red and browns go together so well. Love the die cut too!

Hi Beccy, a stunning Christmas card to inspire us, I made salt dough decorations for my preschool prac. whilst training. Love cinnamon in baked treats, I had a recipe for Zucchini and apple muffins which smelt like a hot cinnamon donut shop. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend. Megan

Cinnamon has a wonderful aroma, and I just love cinnamon buns, and porridge tastes great with some cinnamon and honey to flavour it. The gold oval frame looks gorgeous and the striped mitten filled with goodies is a really pretty image and love the pinks with the gold and brown..a beautiful card Beccy. x
