I did what Karen suggested about looking at a photo and then stepping away to see what you remember. I kept thinking of the pink/blue/yellow linked together and all of the gold, so I made a Christmas card with those elements:
First, I misted cardstock with each color. Next, I die cut the base and snowflake layers from Memory Box and then embossed the snowflake layer. I'm not much of a heat embosser...I think I embossed each one 3 times to get a relatively smooth gilded look...ha ha. Here's a close-up where you can see the misting:
I am officially addicted to mists. And, I have to say the Memory Box dies cut amazingly well...no struggling to get the pieces out like some dies.
I also used the PTI Linen impression plate on the base and stamped the Technique Tuesday's Good Cheer sentiment. Here's a close-up:
If you go onto the Moxie Fab World site, Cath posted a great tribute to Katie Renz. Cancer really sucks.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. We had our first (momentary) snowfall about an hour ago...it's officially winter.

This turned out great. What a fabulous idea to step away from the photo and remember key items for inspiration. Great job!
Jocelyn, that is an absolutely perfect interpretation of the Trigger photo. If your name doesn't appear among this week's Trigger Targets, I'll eat my hat!! This is BEAUTIFUL!! Nicely done. :)
splendiferous!!!! I can't get over the coverage of the mists! I thought the ornaments were stamped on colored CS until you showed the close-up. Your heat embossing is mahvelous, and the die cuts are flawless. K, a whack of Memory Box dies are gonna be shippin to barbles HQ...real soon! ;)
