PTI Blog Hop

Hello.  Did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving?  We went to my BFF's parents house just like we do every year for Thanksgiving and Easter.  I haven't been feeling so great the last couple days so we didn't stay too long.

I made a card for the PTI blog hop today.  There is a beautiful inspiration photo.  Here is what I came up with.  I saw the gingham print on the couch and pretty greenery strung on the stair railing.  This card definitely has that country Christmas feel to it.




Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/ Kraft, Cream
Patterned Paper: Authentique
Stamps: PTI Love Lives Here and Holiday set too
MFT: Faux Crochet Border
Ribbon: Offray
Button and Twine: PTI/ Rustic Cream


Thanks so much for stopping by,
Heather

    Hey Heather! Sorry to read your turkey day was cut short cause you didn't feel very well. I hope you are feeling better today! This card is country chic! I love how you used the gingham in the back as the greens drapery the stairs. Fab!

    I love the details in your card. Each time I look at it there is a little "something" that I didn't see the previous time I looked at it - and I love cards like that. I also love that you chose green gingham for your card.
