Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Deck The Halls Theme!

Oh my goodness, we are almost into the month of December which means Christmas is almost here! Join us today for our Saturday Blog Hop at Create with Connie & Mary for a Deck The Halls theme!

I love the sentiment “It’s The Most Wondeful Time Of Year”. A time for the birth of Jesus, time spent with family and lots of Christmas food. I used the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder on the sentiment layer after I stamped. It gives the stamping a neat look.

Polished Pink seems to be my go-to color lately. I just love the brightness of this beautiful pink color. Of course I had to add the coordinating Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon as well.
