October SOTM Blog Hop ~ Very Merry Christmas

 Hello and welcome to the October SOTM blog hop.

 If you have arrived here from 

Katy Taylor's blog  

then you are on the right track, enjoy the hop.

 There are more than 50 consultants sharing their wonderful ideas and 

awesome artwork using this month's set.

Very Merry Christmas

 This is the card I made for this month's swap.

 As usual I was assigned a paper pack for the swap.

This month I was assigned Clementine. While I love the Clementine 

papers I had a hard time seeing them as "Christmasy".

 According to the rules of our swap we are supposed to at least

 use one of the B&T designs. Admittedly, I used the bare minimum on this card. 

The blue design on the top is from Clementine. The rest of the card uses two

 of our new colors, Ruby and Slate. I embossed the Slate piece of cardstock 

with a snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded it

so that the white core shows through. I love that effect!

 All of the shapes were cut on The Cricut. I finished it off with a bit of bling

and some Slate dotted ribbon. A Very Merry Christmas indeed.

Clearance SALE!!!!

I just celebrated my three year anniversary with CTMH!

 The only downside is that in that time I have collected A LOT of STUFF.

 With the release of the latest idea book I decided that it was time to do some purging.

 I must admit it was hard to let go of some of my favorite "friends"

 but I need to make room for the new stuff so...
