Merry Christmas to You

Papertrey Ink October 2015 Blog Hop Challenge







We were given this photo as an inspiration point.




It's been so much fun ordering new Christmas stamping stuff this fall and I'm glad that the blog hop catered to all our desires to showcase the holiday season early. When PTI's Brushed Off stamp set appeared Amy Sheffer designed a card using the circle images and stamping twice, rotating the stamp and using a second color on the second stamping. I used Distress Inks festive berries and picked raspberry making an instant ornament! Drawing a string with a gold Sharpie pen, I hung my ornaments and decorated with snowflake dies from Paper Smooches. The sentiment is from PTI's Treetops Glisten. The panel was mounted on fun foam and adhered to PTI red card stock. I'm enjoying all the variety of inspiration at October PTI Blog Hop so click on over to enjoy it yourself!
