Welcome to the October SOTM Bloghop!!

Hello again everyone,


Welcome to the October SOTM Blog Hop! This month we are featuring "Holiday Warmth" a great image and sentiment stamp set perfect for the holidays. Our monthly blog hop has gotten so large that we have split it into three separate groups to make your "hopping" much easier. If you didn't start there, please make sure you go to Jena's blog to check out the new format and the starting points for each group! If you came from Deb's blog, you are on the right track for this group and if your lost, once again, go to Jena's blog to get back on track....


My card for this month features the large Christmas tree stamp and one of the sentiments from "Holiday Warmth:








To make this card, I used the "Roundabout" pattern from the "Wishes" book, I used B&T paper from the "Animal Cookies" level 2 "My Reflections" kit, organdy ribbon from the autumn organdy ribbon collection, sunflower and clover meadow CS, green chalk, tulip brads and various sparkles and liquid glass to bling it up a bit. I also used prisma glitter on the star. I did stamp the tree twice, once as a base and the 2nd one I "fancy cut" out and popped up with pop dots.


My second project was some wish list magnets that I made from a square coaster cut in half with the cut edge rounded. I adhered some more "Animal Cookies" B&T paper and again used the presents images from the SOTM and fancy cut them out. I popped them up and used some white distressed CS and computer printing to finish it up. Magnetic stips were added to the back to adhere to the fridge where my kids can add to their list throughout the year so I always have a current, updated list when realatives and friends call for ideas.
