Housewarming party



Hi friends!  I am excited to be participating in a Housewarming Party hosted by my good friend, Catherine Pooler.   If you haven't visited her blog lately you will want to go check out her new look.  It looks awesome!  I love that she is celebrating with a party and a challenge where you have a chance to win some awesome prizes including, a one year subscription to StampNation, plus prizes totaling over $300 from sponsors.


The theme of the challenge is HOME.  If you don't have any house themed stamps or dies be inspired by even the letters in HOME to represent, Heat Embossing, Ombre, Multiple layers, Embossing of any kind.  Have fun with it.  I was inspired to make a Christmas card using the same layout Catherine used on the card she made for the All Stitched Up challenge on StampNation.  I thought it was fitting to honor Catherine.  :)

If you visit my blog often you often hear me talk about StampNation.  It is an amazing community that I am so happy to be a part of.  We would love to have you join us.  If you have been wanting to check out StampNation, now is the time.  Click on the image below to sign up.  **Offer has expired**

    Yowzers girl....your rhinestone ornament is amazing and soooooo perfectly straight! That's a whole lot bling to get lined up! Great job!

    Love how you placed your design elements on the left side of the card and used the silver ribbon of the bow to meld with the silver ribbon on the right side, creating a perfectly balanced card!
