Welcome to September!! How did that happen already?? Less than 4 months 'til Christmas; are you ready? One great way to get ready is to play along in our newest monthly challenge from Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra. It's anything goes as long as it's Christmas related. Here is my card for your inspiration:
One of the challenges from Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-Faire last weekend was to use paper to create an embellishment. So, I took on the challenge and used paper strips to create my bow. Fun and cute! I had this tag pre-made with strips of paper from a Christmas pack I was working to use up. It was the perfect resting place for this adorable snowman. I hope you will play along with us this month; I can't wait to see what you create.Supplies:
Stamps: Bugaboo Stamps "Snowman Ornament 1" digi; PTI "Sparkle & Shine: Holiday" sentiments, "Damask Designs" pattern down the left side
