2 Months Till Christmas Hop!

Hello and Happy Friday!  Since today is the 25th of the month that means that it is only 2 months until Christmas and time for another Fun hop with our fabulously talented Christmas Design Team ladies!

This month our theme to follow is a photo inspiration which I will share with you after I show you my two Christmas cards I have made for you.  I am the first stop on our fun little hop so lets get started!  I will have a full hop list at the end of my post for you to follow =)

For my first card I not only have an adorable image to show you that I am very proud of how the colouring turned out, as well as a technique that you may not have tried yet and is easy to incorporate into your card making and scrapbooking - Glitter Ritz!

On this card all the red accents you see (the scalloped circle and the outline of the sentiment) were all done using Glitter Ritz to help make the card sparkle!
