"10 Months till Christmas Blog Hop"

Welcome back to our monthly hop. By now most of you are probably regular hoppers on our fun monthly hop but if not here is a little about us. My very great friend and her BFF decided last year that they were tired of the Christmas card scramble every year to get their Christmas cards completed and sent out in time. They decided to challenge themselves to create 2 cards/projects every month leading up to the big day to keep the Christmas card scramble at bay. Along the way we have grown to a group of very talented ladies, we get together on the 25th of each month to participate in a fun Christmas blog hop. We have kept our talented group to a great size to make each hop a fun and enjoyable, We have enough talented ladies for you to all hop around and to get some great crafty ideas but not to many to take you hours to complete :). Great things come in small doses. A list will be provided at the end of my post to help incase you get lost along the way.

This year we are challenging our selves to make two cards/projects that follow a given theme for the month. This month it was Red, White + 1 other colour.

If you arrived here from Mary's Blog you are in the right place. If you came across my blog or just stopping by and would like to start at the beginning please head over to my great friend Shari's blog :).

  2. Love the layering you did with the die cuts on your cards. Cutting them out like this really makes the image pop! I'll have to remember that for my future cards ;) Thanks for sharing!

  4. Sara, I really like how traditional your cards are ~ I just think red, white and green speaks of Christmas ~ even though other colours have become a part of Christmas too. Both images are coloured wonderfully. Hugs!!!
