Celebrate Christmas Blog Hop


Good morning and WELCOME!!!  If you're hopping along with the Celebrate Christmas Blog Hop then you should have arrived here from Amanda Bodine's Blog, and if you just happened along, then today is your LUCKY DAY, because you've stumbled on to a hop filled with epic inspiration and it's all about Christmas!  This is actually the next to last stop on this hop, and you are SO gonna want to go back to the beginning and check out ALL the amazing creations that the design team has shared for today!  It all began on Kristi Bennett's Little Paper Sprinkles Blog, so head over there now so you don't miss ANYTHING!!

I've got a SWEET card to share with you today that I created with the PKSC-19 July 2013 Stamp of the Month stamp set.  Are you a member of the Stamp of the Month Club?  Members enjoy super savings on the monthly kit, and you can find out all about how to become a member by following THIS LINK.  I had a lot of fun coloring this one up with my Copic markers.

ALL ABOARD, because we're headed full steam ahead into the Christmas season as of TODAY!!!
The North Pole Express leads the way!!

I worked in both some marker work, and paper piecing with this card.  The patterned paper was from my scrap bin stash.



Here's a closer look at the coloring, and that wonderful, Diamond Dust that I picked up at our local Ben Franklin store a while back.  I love the thick, sugary look and texture, and it's hard to tell from the photo, but the sparkle is divine!!

I hope you've enjoyed the hop so far.  As I mentioned above, this is the next to last stop.  Your next stop will be at The Peachy Keen Stamps Blog, and I sure hope you've left comments for our talented team as you've went along, because with each comment, you'll have a chance to win a BIG PRIZE!  Yep!  Peachy Keen Stamps is putting together a Christmas stamp bundle valued at $150!!  WOOHOOO!!!  We'll announce the winner on Monday, and be sure to join us tomorrow for another fun filled day of hopping!!  

Oh, and before I forget, Peachy Keen Stamps also has a BIG SALE going on right now for Black Friday, and it runs through the weekend.  Give yourself an early Christmas present and pick up your wish list items at these low prices!!


Thanks for stopping by today!  Here's the complete blog hop order, just in case!  Have a wonderful weekend and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!!!
