Color Throwdown Challenge #166 & MTME Release

Happy Wednesday, my friends.  Welcome back to another edition of the Color Throwdown ;]  Today, Danielle is our talented hostess, and she chose this awesome palette:
Beautiful, huh?  LOVE the cool colors together.  I kept my card CAS for the most part and focused on some fun digi paper (FREE 12 Days of Snowflakes, Fresh Cut Expressions Collection 1, and Trendy Forest) and some super cute cut files.  The sentiment is stamped on a Tag You're It cut file and the other, more prominent cut file was released yesterday at My Time Made Easy.  It's the bell in the spotlight called, Ring in the New Year.  Isn't it adorable?  I scaled it 50% and then another 25%...so it's pretty big in the original form...but thankfully for cut files we can have any size we want!  Check out the MTME store to peek at all of the new products! They're sure to inspire you for the holidays.

My layout was inspired by the MOJO Monday sketch (MOJO213):
You can also check out the MTME Gallery and DT for even more inspiration ;]  Be sure to swing by the Color Throwdown DT for some amazing inspiration on the fresh palette Danielle chose:

Welp, I need to get going for now.  Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you found a little inspiration to get crafty this week :]

What a sweet little circle card! Gotta love that bell (and now I'm thinking of that old Chuck Berry tune about him playing with his ding-a-ling!). I'm glad you played with your ding-a-ling for this card! :-)
