" 6 Months till Christmas Blog Hop "

Well welcome back to our monthly Christmas hop it is now 6 months till Christmas yes that is correct we are half way there. It sure does not feel like it now its getting warmer and the sun is shining I sure like the Sun more then the snow but I guess everything in moderation is great :).

Well if you are a regular follower of our monthly hop then you know the drill but if you are just stopping by then here is a quick overview of what we do each month.

2 Christmas ago my great friend Shari was having quite the struggle to complete her lovely Christmas cards in time and decided that it was just to much work to cram into the few months before the Christmas rush. She decided that she would challenge herself to make two cards each month so that when the time came she would have at least 22 cards ready. Along the way the group of us joined her and we now create a fun small hop each month to share our creations and hopefully give some inspiration to everyone who follows along each month.

If you have arrived here from the talented Mary`s Blog you are in the right place. If you have just happened upon my blog or are here for a visit and want to start from the beginning please head over to my very talented friend Shari`s Blog

This year we are challenging our selves to create two cards or projects following a given theme for the moth.

This month we were creating our creations by using the following photo inspiration.
