6 Months Till Christmas Hop!

Hello and Welcome to our 6 Months Till Chrismas Blog Hop! Oh Yeah you read right, 6 months!  Have you started your shopping yet?  How about your Christmas Cards?  Well this fun hop will hopefully inspire you to get started on your own cards to releive some stress closer to the holiday =) 

If you are new to our hop here is a little about us...Last year I challenged myself to create 2 Christmas cards a month and to post them on my blog on the 25th of each month to count down to Christmas, so that when the holiday's arrived I was not so stressed out trying to get all my cards done in time to give out.  I mentioned this to a few of my friends and they all wanted to join in and then some from blogland asked as well.  So now on the 25th of each month myself and a few talented ladies post 2 Christmas projects for our hop to share with all our blogland friends =) 

Each month we have a new theme and this months theme for our hop is - Photo Inspiration, see photo below (this is a picture of my dinning room table when I had my friends Todd and Heather over just before Christmas last year =)

 

Following the photo above I chose to use the colours Red & Black and the Snowman as well.  I made each card using the same papers as well as the same colour scheme and similar supplies and Copic colours too.  

 

Here is card #1 using a Whipper Snapper stamp called "Snow is overrated" - check out the snow, it is Extra Fine Flower Soft!.... 

Here is a look at the inside....

Here is a close up of the image to see the Copic colours and the "Flower Soft" snow....

Here is card #2 using a stamp called "Snowy" also using Flower Soft on the Hat and Snow!....
