How awesome is 800?!! I am thrilled that JUGS is still around!
I am the Hostess for this milestone challenge! I'm hoping by choosing anything goes we will have lots of players celebrating with us!
In keeping with JUGS being around since October 2004 [!], I used some really old products! The die cuts are Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments - I have had these at least 15 years, and the embossed background is again, Spellbinders called Impressabilities Diamond & Stars. These are flat metal sheets that do both embossing or letterpress! I might have used these [I have about 5 different ones] maybe once. I literally had to do some searching on how to use them. I love the end result! Are embossing folders easier? Yes, but I had this, and I was determined to use it!
I'm totally okay with these older products!
Okay, as my celebration prize, I am giving a $25 gift certificate to my random winner! Be sure to leave a comment, and also play along in the 800th challenge over at Just Us Girls! I'm looking forward to the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by~

Vicki these ornate ornaments are beautiful!
A beautiful Christmas card. I love the ornaments and the gold in the center of them added with the gold on the card really adds to the beauty of the card. Well, done.
800! Wow, Vicki, that is really worthy of a celebration! Congratulations to you and your team! I have so enjoyed playing along with your challenge - you can count me in this time for sure!
Now, about your card - LOve the color and how beautiful that gold is with this soft aqua! I love older sets and can't think of one reason not to keep using them!

One of my favorite things for Christmas is vintage ornaments. so, I am loving your card. Love the color, the embossing and the gold just sets it off. Wow girl you did a wonderful job.
Vicki, these ornaments are as beautiful now as they were 15 years ago. When you've been collecting a long time (me too) you have lots of keepers you can't help but use again. It's a fast moving market! I love your colors, and the embossed background is perfect with the ornaments. I'm so happy to be celebrating this milestone with you!

I'm glad you used the pre-cursor to the press plate, Vicki, because the design matches that of your lovely ornaments.
Beautiful card! Love the aqua and gold color scheme. It is so awesome that Just Us Girls is still going strong after all these years. Here's to more fun challenges!
Beautiful card! Love the ornaments and the pretty background design! .... Impressabilities sounds so familiar! I am thinking I might have one or two of those somewhere! I don't recall ever using them either, so maybe I better give them a try!
This is gorgeous in those colors! I love those big ornaments with the gold accents.
Such a pretty Christmas card - love those ornaments!
