It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Well..... not necessarily here where I live in the desert; but definitely up in the Northern states. In fact, we haven't even turned on the heat in our house yet. The temps remain high enough during the daytime hours that we're still ok with just our sweatpants and an extra blanket at night. But that doesn't mean we can't start celebrating Christmas. Right?
I ran a length of Olive Wrinkle Ribbon across my card and tied a bow with that and a piece of Black Seam Binding. I also added a bow tied with Solid Red Baker's Twine and I tucked in a few Milk White Double Head Stamens. The little holly berries and ivy were cut from wool felt using a Paper Sweeties die. The thing I love most about Really Reasonable Ribbon is that I know I can ALWAYS find the perfect color, width, texture and style of trim for every project. They really have it ALL. I hope you'll stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog for lots of great inspiration. Thanks again for visiting me today.
I'm sharing my card here:
Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog - November: Anything Goes - I love to play along here, but this is my third and final entry for the month.
Stencil Fun - November Challenge: Optional Twist of Fall Colors - And I'm glad it's only "optional" because this is definitely a Christmas card. LOL
Allsorts Challenge Blog - Week #701 - Sparkle and Shine - I used GLITTER in my cookies for the sparkle.
Blessings,
