Christmas Mini Blog Hop 2013

I am so EXCITED about the Christmas mini and I'm also excited to be a part of the blog hop highlighting all the FANTASTIC new items in the mini. If you've hopped here from  Joy McHargue's blog  you are on the right path if you get lost along the way here is a complete list of participates at this link Melinda Everitt's Blog.  So for my card I have used the Sparkle and Shine Paper pack, this paper has a little shimmery silver running through the stripes and some of the dots.  I love the classy elegance it adds to this whimsical paper!!!!!  I also used the Santa Clause stamp set, foam tape, Juniper and Ruby cardstock as well as cranberry ink.  The layout is inspired by the card layout 21 from make it from the Heart Volume #2 using the art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the graphics.

Next up on the hop list is Melinda Everitt's blog.
