Noel

Papertrey December Blog Hop Challenge

it's that time of the month again.

 

This cheerful group of holiday plates was our inspiration point!
They reminded me of the Tinsel & Tags stamp & die set from December 2014.
I stamped my "Noel", added it to a PTI polka dot vellum circle and attached
the circles to a piece of an old MME Christmas designer paper. After seeing
Leigh Penner's tags I think die cuts would have made it more special! Next time.

Christmas Cards 2015

This is the first year that I didn't mass produce the same card for everyone and it was so much fun! A few designs were repeated but not many. I thought you might like to see a variety since I don't post daily. Some cards are cased from Papertrey Ink designers; almost all of the stamps & dies used are PTI products.

Yay! only 4 more days until I see my three grandsons and their parents!!

Today's card is out of my comfort zone. I was trying to use some PTI Holiday
Folk patterned paper and combined it with Virginia's View Challenge #21: Glitter. Virginia is closing her popular challenge this month - boo hoo!  My entry resulted in a busy, festive, and glitzy-for-me Christmas card! The card size is 4.25 x 6" in order to place a photo inside. Some of my family and friends do not get on Facebook so needed to send a new picture with me and my gray hair!

Stamps: PTI Bells & Boughs, Oopsie Daisy (for the dotted line), 'Tis the Season Sentiments
