PTI December Blog Hop: Blessed!


Happy Boxing Day!

Today is the December blog hop at Papertrey Ink! I LOVE this inspiration photo! I think the plates and photo come from Pier One. Makes me want to go out and buy them if it weren't for the fact that I'm a.) broke from Christmas and b.) tired of malls and stores. Can I get an Amen?

So instead, I crafted a card that reminded me of these sweet plates!

I'm still having a mad crush on Rustic Wreath stamps and dies. Today, I cut out the wreath die in two shades of green. Then, I cut a slit in each wreath, which allowed me to carefully entwine the two colors. After that, I glued them both to this square of black card stock that I had inked up with some white ink on the edges.

This one word really sums up Christmas 2015 for me. Blessed! Blessed with a new church family, blessed with time spent with our families in Michigan and Ohio, blessed with fun and festive activities, blessed with good food and good health, blessed with a new home in a new town, blessed with time spent with our three sons together....

...and of course, blessed with all of you dear regulars at Mary Rose's Cafe! Thank you!
