OCTOBER BLOGHOP


Here we are again!! Last year I waited until November to start making my Christmas cards and projects, boy did I learn my lesson. I am getting started way earlier this year. I am having so much fun with Lauren's new templates.

Can I say how much I looooove the new colors and the polka dot papers. I have no idea what I love about polka dots, but they always have appealed to me.

While the stocking I created doesnt have many polka dots, I still love the way it turned out. First I scored my paper on the super wonderful Scor-Pal and then cut out the stockings. I am in the process of making my soy votive candles for Christmas presents for teachers, etc., this year. I didn't try to do this, but they turned out almost a Berry Sorbet color!! I added the snowflake (cuttlebug die), Martha glitter on the snowflake and the cuff.














For the votive candles, I made a band out of Berry sorbet and the fabulous new Polka dot papers.





Thanks for stopping by! I always enjoy taking a peak at all the fun stuff everyone has made! See ya next bloghop!
