KEEPING CHRISTMAS October 2018 Inspirational Blog Hop!

-


Good morning! First of all let me say it is such an honor to be a guest here today with all of you doing Keeping Christmas!!  I am SUPER thrilled to be able to show you my countdown to Keeping Christmas project!

On the 25th of each month the team is excited to show all of you the projects they made to inspire you to get started on your Christmas creating!

Our host each month is Kelly Lunceford, the creator of Keeping Christmas!

I can hardly control my EXCITEMENT so lets get comfy and I hope you enjoy my countdown!

I have always wanted to make a countdown to Christmas so I finally made some time to do it and I enjoyed it SO much!!

Here is an overall view.




I started with 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 piece of cardstock and then added some designer paper from Betsy Veldman Tinsel and Tags Collection.




Next I chose coordinating cardstock and inks using Pure Poppy, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist, Weathervane and some Soft Stone, Berry Sorbet and Ripe Avocado.  The stamps, dies and papers are from Papertrey Ink, with an exception of glitter paper on the reindeer and the doily with the coffee/tea pots.



I used clear embossing powder with Versafine ink, lots of glitter and xmas red sticklers.



Of course I had to use a Santa face for the 25th!:)

On the back of each page I placed another piece of coordinating cardstock which I will be placing a picture of what happened on that day with my family.




Here are a few close-ups. If you have any questions please leave them in the comment area, I will be happy to answer them.












I hope this has inspired you and thank you for hanging in there with such a long post.

Please stop by and visit all of the team members and give them a happy comment!
