Hello Crafty Friends,
Can you believe we have decided to countdown to Christmas again!?!? Since we thought planning ahead was such a success and to reduce the stress this year, we are starting earlier. I am looking forward to creating Christmas cards, tags, and/or decor and being prepared. I still didn't have enough last year even with starting 6 months prior to the holidays, so I have to double up this time!
We are doing one aspect of the hop differently...monthly themes. WELL...I was just excited to start my Christmas projects that I forget to incorporate the theme..Snowbound! Let's just pretend there is snow everywhere! : )
I used non-traditional colors for this matching set...a card and a tag while using this sketch from Weekly Christmas Card Challenges.
I love presents no matter what size or color!
Materials:
Fancy Pants paper ~ St. Nick (Thank You Carissa)
burgandy and blue card stock
ivory embossed card stock
Sweethearts Cricut cartridge ~ present
blue gems
blue button
burgandy flower
ivory embroidery floss
burgandy ink
Here is the "11 Months Till Christmas Blog Hop" order:

ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. Love the colors and the design. Would be perfect for any occasion.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea for a blog hop. I really need to be more organised this year, I hope I can find the time to play along! Great projects..love the touch of Bling.
ReplyDeleteGeorgiana, your card and tag set is just wonderful! Since it is the first month of the hop for 2013 you get a pass on the snow, there is a lot on the ground outside so you are safe, lol, no worries.

Love your card and maching tag!!! Your colour choice is fantastic. I think I did see some snow falling (just looked out my window) so you've made the snowbound theme as far as I am concerned LOL.
