Keeping Christmas {Inspiration Hop}


I'm crafting and posting on my blog this week! Yippee! Today I am part of the "Keeping Christmas" blog hop that originated on Kelly's blog. I am a huge fan of Kelly and I am delighted to be a part of the hop because I am also a huge fan of Christmas cards!


Recently my little girl turned 10 months old...gulp! How did that happen? 

She is now sleeping through the night...for the most part. It's a miracle but I miss those sweet mid-night snuggles.

With more sleep, comes the need to be creative again. I am starting small, but I am so happy to have set up a makeshift craft space in our bedroom. 

I lost my craft room to the renovation we are doing on our house, so I have to make do with the little apartment we are living in. It's cozy and brand spanking new...but it is small. My desk is now in our bedroom and I have brought up only my favourite crafting supplies...it's perfect


So I whipped up this card in my new space, with my new found energy! A watercoloured retired Stampin' Up poinsettia image with a retired My Favorite Things Christmas sentiment set. I watercoloured the poinsettia with my Zig Markers and a water pen. Easy peasy.


Clean lines, easy to mass produce and fun to make! 

Please be sure to check out the wonderful work of my bloggy friends. They really know how to make Christmas shine!! Here is a list of their names and if your click on their name, it will take you to their blog post.

So hop along and be sure to visit each blog. 
There is a lot of inspiration and ideas to get your creative juices flowing!
