Here is my project that I've created for today's hop.  

It is getting close to Christmas so I am working on cards that I can easily make several in a night.  This card is not very time consuming, has some fun texture with the corrugated base and is not too CAS.  :)

The paper (Lily Bee Design's Jingle paper pad) and twine (Holly Berry) are from Trendy Twine (another wonderful sponsor on our hop).  Also used were Spellbinders Labels Thirty One and Decorative Labels Twenty Eight, and  JustRite Christmas Antique Labels One stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!  Here is today's lineup in case you get lost along the way.  Your next stop in line is the creative and lovely Donna K.

Guest Design projects and products list

Hello!

The holiday weekend is winding down for my American peeps.  I hope everyone had a great weekend and will have a restful Sunday.  Today my hubby and I are celebrating Thanksgiving with a couple of friends.  It will be a day filled with football and food!  Yay turkey!  Go Bears!  :)

Thanks to everyone who left the sweet comments on the guest design posts Friday and Saturday.  The kind remarks made me smile!  As promised, today I am listing all products used.  If it looks like I am missing something that you need to know, just drop me a line.

Day 1

Cardinal Seasons Greetings: Trendy Twine in Holly Berry, Kaisercraft 6x6 paper pad "Turtle Dove", Cheery Lynn Doily "French Pastry", Season's Greetings from JustRite set "Christmas Vintage Labels One"

Thanks: Trendy Twine in Orange Truffle, Spellbinders Labels Twenty, JustRite stamp set "Kindness", JustRite stamp set "Grateful Heart Vintage Labels Two", Cuttlebug folder A2 Script, Tim Holtz distress pads in antique linen, aged mahogany, spiced marmalade

Merry Christmas mittens: Trendy Twine in Chocolate Truffle, Spellbinders Vintage Lace Motifs, Spellbinders Small Circles, Spellbinders Nested Mittens, Sizzix Tim Holtz embossing folder "Burlap" (on mittens), Bo Bunny paper pad in "Snowfall", JustRite stamp set "Noel Christmas Ornaments"

Day 2

Thanks gift set: Trendy Twine in Orangsicle, My Mind's Eye mini pad in Tangerine, Cuttlebug embossing folder "Snow Dots", Lawn Fawn stamp set "Summertime Charm" and matching die set, jam jar.  Note: if you decide to add a hole to the top of the car for the twine to spool out, discard the flat metal circle on the lid and replace with a piece of cardboard (I used the hard board on the bottom of a paper pad).  Doing this is much easier to make a hole and it will not fray your twine like the metal lid would do.

You Amaze Me: Trendy Twine in Totally Kraft, Quickutz Nesting Doily Ovals dies, Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles, JustRite stamp set "For All You Do Vintage Labels Three", Webster's Pages 6x6 paper "Modern Romance", pink velvet ribbon

Happy Birthday: Trendy Twine in Berries Jubilee, silver paper embossed using Spellbinders Industrial M-Bossabilites

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
K-Jo
