Joy to You Holiday 2011 Blog Hop!


Hi everyone!  Thanks for stopping by.  From the moment I saw THIS stamp... I knew it would quickly become one of my favorite holiday images.  I love its simplicity plus the many techniques that can be done with a solid type image.  The card I created today is clean and simple and has my favorite color palette... BROWNS!


Here's a peek at the details....


I pulled out some (really old) Basic Grey Holiday papers to use on this card,  figured I should stop hoarding it and finally put it to good use.  I stamped the image with Soft Sand ink on a Kerri Bradford digital cutting label (I love the versatility of digital cutting to change sizes and create layered pieces). 

Today is the day that all of our 2011 Holiday stamps and accessories can be purchased in our online store.  YAY!!!  You can check them out HERE!

Did you know that we're having a giveaway???  Some delicious goodies are waiting for a lucky winner.  Just leave a comment on any of the blogs, the more you comment the better your chances.  The winner will be announced Aug 5th.  Good Luck!
Before I go...I've got to send you on to your next stop... check out what Lisa Spangler came up with for this special day.

Enjoy!

Thank you for all your amazing comments.  We have chosen a winner for the giveaway which can be seen HERE.

Hi! I just stopped by your blog courtesy of Jennifer McGuire. I am so glad that I've found your site - your crafts are a real delight!

I have loved that Christmas Tree stamp the moment I laid eyes on it, and its on my must have list for my next purchase of craft stuff!

I really adore what you've done with the brown tones on this card. It gives the card a real versatility on who you can send it to - females and males alike! And sometimes I find the traditional colors can be a bit 'ho hum' and the same as everyone one elses card - this card stands out, yet still has a very Christmasy feel to it!
