Gina K.’s November Blog Hop! * Christmas is Coming …. But Here’s 2008!
Welcome, everyone! It’s time for Gina K.’s November Blog Hop … and it’s actually her first ‘customer’ blog hop! Please check out Gina’s Blog, where you’ll find the complete list of participating stampers & links to their blogs. You’re sure to find a wealth of inspiration!
I’ve created a project using my newest arrival in the studio … and I’m tickled to share it with you! Even though we’re fast approaching Christmas 2009, I’ve added one of my favorite pics from 2008 to this project … but I adore the way it turned out.
This project that has just been ‘waiting’ to get from ‘dreams to reality’. That’s actually why I needed this stamp set … The Christmas ideas were seemingly in a hurry to be produced! (I know … It’s likely that only a paper-crafter might understand that statement. I have trust that you’ll understand.) 😉
The poinsettia images were stamped & gold-embossed twice in order to allow me to cut out & lift up a few of the petals. The photo is one of my favorites from Christmas Day, last year (2008).
I know the little ones in my life will be delighted to see this on display when they arrive. I can practically ‘hear’ their happy comments about seeing themselves in the photo! Can’t you just imagine the virtual comments of someone opening up a card with a similarly sweet family photo? Well, ‘that’s’ why I ‘needed’ this new set. *grin*
It’s the week of Thanksgiving! May you be blessed and looking forward to savoring the fellowship of God, family, and friends in the coming days! Thank you each & every one for stopping by to visit here.
