BANNER BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Hop so glad you took the time to stop by, if you have arrived here from MARY'S BLOG then you are in the right place. Doesn't she just make you want to be creative?...I know she does that for ME.  If you have lost your way and would like to start over go back to the beginning starting with ALEX.

Aren't the other banner along this hop AWESOME?

I was so super excited to be asked to participate in this hop and I hope my banner inspires you to do something creative and fun this holiday season.

I love the holidays and being from the great state of Georgia we sometimes wake up on Christmas Day to 70 degree weather... So I never get to experience a WHITE CHRISTMAS. So building a snowman is certainly a treat when it happens... So to help with the longing of a real snowman...I created some for those of us who live in the deep south, and wish they could build them some winter snow friends.

Christmas Card # 1

Hey Crafty Friends

Just wanted to do a quick post and share my first CHRISTMAS card of the year...only 34 more to go.

I just love the holiday season and getting Christmas cards in the mail is always so wonderful.

In the past I have always purchased a box of premade cards to send out, but since my card making skills have improved lol...... I am challenging myself to make handmade Christmas cards this year.  I think that this will be super special for all my family and friends.

So here is card #1

Card Front

Inside Sentiment

I used Snow Friends for the cute little snowman (cut @ 3 1/2 inches)

Card is an A2 size card 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

All mats are cut 1/4 inch smaller

Sentiment STAMPABILITIES (Hobby Lobby)

Until Next Time
