Hello Friends,
It has been a while since I posted again. Crazy busy summer this year!!!! Taking some time on this lovely Saturday morning to post a card for the Festive Friday Challenge #38. Here is the lovely inspiration photo:
And here is the card I made:
I was inspired by the earth tones in the photo and the snowflakes and textures shown. I used the lovely Rustic Wreath set from Papertrey Ink along with the Lovely Layers set to create my dimensional flower/snowflake combo.
As always there is incredible inspiration from all of the Festive Friday Designers! I hope you have time to go and take a peek at the blog and check them out! I am looking forward to some holiday crafting time as school gets started again here in Seattle in early September! Right now I am still focused on finishing projects on the exterior of my house! Praying the rains hold off a little while longer! It has not been the case this week however! :)
P.S. I had a visit this morning while I was making some cards from my neighbor Mariko who just turned 10 years old. She and my son play together almost every day. She made this beautiful card all on her own. I only helped her tie the twine bow! Didn't she do a wonderful job!!!! So fun to have company in my craft room when I am working on a crafty deadline! Thanks for joining me today Mariko! :)
See you all soon!
:) Jill

This is beautiful Jill! Hope the rain is holding off for you, it is pouring here today and cold!!
ReplyDeleteWe have sun today and I am off to the paint store this afternoon to hopefully buy the last bit of paint I need. Painting all my doors a new color to go with the new house color. :)
DeleteI love your card Jill....and Mariko's card is gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Jill and the challenge winner as I see it!!! Your little crafting companion did an amazing job on her cute card. Course she DOES have a good teacher!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Christmas card! I like the neutral colors for the Christmas card. It's looks so "Homespun" which is a look I really like. You have the cutest crafting partner, and she did a great job with her card. Very nice job...

ReplyDeleteYou can see a peek of the house color in the picture of Mariko. A turquoise green color which is a huge change after 17 years of honey beige! Will have to post a photo of the finished house hopefully soon! :)
DeleteLove your card Jill, the colours are true to the challenge unlike mine, thanks for the lovely comment. I wish I had someone to share my craft room with, my youngest son outgrew it years ago. Mariko did a splendid job.
