NOVEMBER 2015 BLOG HOP

I am a traditional Christmas girl...but I LOVE this picture and these colors!

So pretty. So calm. So bright!!!

Being the literal crafter that I am...

Greenery from Spruce and Sprigs. A new favorite!

My 'mantel" is Keep It Simple frame.

I used several circle dies and punches to cut my ornaments!

MAKE IT MONDAY #232: LAYERED STAMPING ON KRAFT

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and colors stamped over white ink on kraft card stock.

I finally finished my Match Boxes!!!

YAY!!!

I now have some time to make some cards.

I need to add a lot to my inventory!

Here is the first one I made this week.

I had never tried this technique!

I really liked it. I typically don't like to stamp on Kraft for the reasons Dawn said,

washed out or changed color

The white really helps and it adds dimension.

I LOVE the white shadowing.

It makes the card look less...flat!

 Thank you for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY #231: MOTIF BUILDING

-Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and a stamped motif using multiple images.

I have been SO BUSY making All Through the House boxes, this is the first card I have made in a couple of weeks!

I have made over 120 lighted boxes.

I have used every image from the kit I could use.

I only have about 50 unsold.

I sell them as fast as I can make them!

There will be a lot of money to donate for well digging!!!

As soon as I started editing this card, I realized I forgot a sentiment!

:(

EMBARRASSING and no time to fix tonight.

Its getting late...

I can add it later.

Thank you for looking at my blog!

MAKE IT MONDAY #228: PEARLIZED BLENDING

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and pearlized ink blending.

It is SO much fun to have your team in the World Series!!!!

It is also VERY time consuming!

Apologies to all Met's fans out there...I hope we finish this thing tonight!!!

I am VERY late getting a MIM card done

I do not have Perfect Pearls. I have some Pearl Ex I have had for years.

I chose one of the gold ones...should have chosen the pearl color.

My gold was a bit darker than I would have liked

I do though think for Christmas, the gold works well.

A pretty technique, I LOVE the shimmer.

A simple card.

I LOVE the sentiment from O Holy Night!

Thank you for looking at my blog!
