I'm not sure where I acquired this graphic. It was lightly precolored, so I added the blue and some extra pink, to bring out the "sugar plum" theme. It's a silly, sweet creation.
Looking forward to seeing your creations on the Scrapy Land Challenge Blog!
NOTE: A glimpse into the future! Hope you enjoy!

She's so cute and sparkly! Love the colors you've used. and the Chloe stems are a wonderful addition to the card. Great thinking! Very creative use of dies as always, giving so much more dimension to your work. Love it Donna. Are your gorgeous cacti in a sunny spot - I can't get mine to bloom this year at all?
I love that Sugar Plum Snow Ballerina she is so adorable with her bright pink glittery tutu! Such a fun and lovely card! I love how you put so many beautiful dies together! Your Christmas cactus are gorgeous!! They must love that Florida sun!

This is adorable and so not like you :-). Isn't it fun to create something your normally don't do? Love the pink tutu. I certainly wish I had a green thumb like yours. Your Christmas cacti are amazing looking.

Suitably sparkly Donna and wonderful stitching especially round those curves.
Your Christmas Cacti look lovely, we have one similar to the pink one but don't think I've seen a white one.
Hope you and your have a lovely Christmas.

Absolutely gorgeous, Donna! :)
Hallo liebe Donna,
deine Karte mit der niedlichen Schneeballerina ist absolut zauberhaft.
Mein Gott was für eine wunderschöne Gestaltung. Ich liebe deine Karten sehr.
Deine Weihnachtskakteen sind wunderschön und so eine Blütenpracht findet man ja eher selten. Du hast den grünen Daumen und die Pflanzen danken es dir.
Ich wünsche dir ein wunderschönes Weihnachtsfest. Ganz liebe Knuddelgrüße Hugs Silvi
Your card is so cute and beautiful. I adore your Cacti as well, really gorgeous.
Hugs

Of course your card is gorgeous, they always are, and those flowers are beautiful!!!! I have 2 and neither one bloomed this year..........
Oh wow, Donna, this is absolutely stunning!! I could just stare at it all day!! I love the sweet snowgirl in her sparkly pink tutu!! I love the lace you added and the stitching!! I wish I could stitch like that!! This is truly spectacular my friend and I adore it!! And your cacti are gorgeous, too!! I have one that's grown really huge with orange flowers. I put it on the deck every summer and it just keeps getting bigger!! It bloomed last month and I'm hoping for a few on Christmas!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

Hope you are having a good week. Sue

Aww Donna! your snow girl with her pink tutu is adorable..love the lace..glitter and colours on this card..beautiful dies and poinsettia..
I used to have Cacti like these, they got to big so gave them away.
Hugs Pam x
What a pretty crad! love the soft and delicate feel to the image . your christmas cacti are lovely too :) Thanks for sharing with us this week, over at Glitter n Sparkle, Vic - D.T x
Gorgeous card, adorable image. Your layers and the poinsettia are beautiful. I love the pink & white. Your Christmas Cactus are gorgeous as well :) Take good care, I hope you are doing well. Hugs, Shirleyxx
WOW, Donna, where do I start? How about at the very top? I love your blog masthead -- gorgeous for the Christmas season. Then the card -- that glittery snow ballerina is adorable. I love the lace and the delicate die cuts! The pink color combo is fabulous and is a color I rarely think to use for Christmas but I always love it when I see it. The splash of blue in the CS layer and on the image is perfection. Wonderful flower embellie. Next, your Christmas cactus plants are doing so well. I'm afraid mine had their enthusiasm dulled by the freezing overnights last week and this. All the blooms are completely gone. :( Finally, Tinkerbell wearing the Santa hat in your signature block is delightful. How appropriate that she's all sparkly, too. :-D Hugs, NC
Aw, Donna, your card is so adorable! This made me smile! Love all the sparkle and the gorgeous die cuts! I was super impressed with your cacti - especially the second one (my colour!). You're doing something right!
What a cute snowman Sugar Plum Fairy. A wonderful and delightful card design.
Awww! That snow ballerina is just too cute, and your card looks amazing! Just look at all those layers and embellies! Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!
Very cute little snow woman or girl. Gorgeous card as well as your Christmas cacti. Have a beautiful weekend and a very Merry Christmas.
Oh, my gosh, I love the snow ballerina! If she was a stamp or a digi I would say I MUST have her! Love how you enhanced her with the extra color and sparkle. I can see the Chloe stem is a must have, too, and the larger poinsettia is a good size for your card. I have the smaller one. One of these days I'll have to get the matching dies for some of my decorative labels. Really love the pretty trim you added. Perfect for a ballerina! When I see your gorgeous card it makes me want to go dress something up! Such a delight! Happy holidays, Donna!
Too darn cute Hope she doesn't dance til she is hot .........................Lis
Fabulous card and love the fun image and pink sparkle love the Chloe stems they are on my wish list -beautiful Christmas cactus we have an Easter one

I always can't wait to stop by and see what you created and I love everything. Want to tell you your Christmas Cacti are stunning this year. The stitching is wonderful. Had to keep going up and down to see what you did with each die and love how you got them all to work together and LOVE the layers. You went over the top with the colors just wonderful on both cards and the sparkle fantastic. Your snowman is just delightful and you do not say who makes her, just as cute as can be. Merry Christmas my friend.
Hugs Pat
Hi, Donna,
What a splendid use of our CYOC chart this week! So much texture and beautiful detail. I love the stitching and the triple matting on your base and double layering of your die cut . Great palette and the colors are beautifully integrated throughout the project! Thanks for leaving this on our front porch at 613 Avenue Create, we were delighted to find it there!

What a cute Ballerina Snow woman!Love the pink. Thank you for playing along at Eureka! Stamps Non Traditional Christmas Colors Challenge. Lisa DT
Fantastic Creation and thank you for joining in on the Glitter N Sparkle Challenge blog this week. Good Luck with your entry.
Hugs Tracey C - DT
LOL ... That you for the welcome :O)
Also - that sweet ballerina! ... love her and the card you made with her.
I am also very jealous of your blooming "Christmas Cacti" ... Mine does not have nary a thought of blooming this year. I am bummed!
Thanks for sharing!

Such a pretty card Donna, your image is adorable and I love the pretty pinks and all of your lovely details.
Your Christmas Cacti are beautiful, I have two in flower at the moment - one pink and one red, not as many flowers as yours though!

So very pretty Donna! Love the sparkle in this card as well as the lace!
Oh Donna, this is so fun and so adorable! I love that sweet little fairy snowman (snowgirl?) with her glittery tutu! All the lacy embellishments and die cut frames add lovely texture and detail. Our printer went kaput so I can't even print out digi stamps until we get around to buying a new printer...but looks like I'm going to want to start checking them out after seeing this. Your Christmas cacti are so lush and gorgeous as well. I have one, which was given to me about 7 years ago and this is the first year it hasn't bloomed. I think that I'll cut it back and re-pot it after the holidays to see if I can give it new life. Thanks so much for sharing your designs with us and have a merry Christmas!
The card is darling and your cacti look beautiful. Merry Christmas to you my friend and a Happy New Year!
Your card is adorable... love the cute pink tutus!!
Donna- this card is fabulous! Such a sweet image and colors! It warms the heart. :)
I'm not really a pink person and certainly not for Christmas, but this card really got my attention! It's lovely! Love the little skirt and the decorative lace. Gorgeous!
Love the pretty pink sparkly awesomeness in your card! Thanks for joining the SHOPPING OUR STASH crew for "Let It Snow" challenge!
Beautiful card Donna :o)
Wishing you & your family a Very Merry Christmas!

Oh my! I love your layers! kReN
Your snowman ballerina is absolutely cute! I just found your blog and love your craftiness. :)
Hi again Donna I cannot believe that I missed this little cutie she is so adorable in her little pink sparkly tutu, the die cuts you use always leave me with a longer wishlist than ever, lol, the detail of the design is awesome, I love it

How did I miss this sweet snow girl? I'm going to blame it on the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle. She is adorable and love the pastel colors and sparkle. The card is so cute.
