This month's Blog Hop inspiration has all to do with Valentine's Day/Love, even tho' we are not thru with
Christmas just yet. I do love the colors and how delicately
stitched the embroidered foliage/flowers are that make
up the wreath. I must admit that this is a nice switch from
the holiday mode I've been in for the past few months.
I decided to make my own framed embroidery hoop artwork.
It was a fun chance to dust off the cobwebs off all my stitch
dies. Here is my resulting labors of love:
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the December Blog Hop!
Supplies: PTI Stitched Folk Art Flower, Stitched Circles, Stitched Circles (holes only),
misc. embroidery hoop/ribbon/paper flowers (Wild Orchid)/butterfly fabric (JoAnn's).

I've selected a card by Laurie Schmidlin for this month's Create Along With Us and it's only Day 1 of the release. I decided to make another Christmas thank you card...so please excuse the repeat of my "thank you" die. I love the
way Laurie used the Text & Texture Bokeh stamp for her
BG. It comes thru with subtleness under her vellum window
shaker card (so pretty). I've made a shaker card too but
created a wintery tree scene adding some faux snow/
seed beads to complete it.
Supplies: PTI Enchanted Forest, ways to say: thank you, Pierced Feature Frame Dies, Nesting Basics: Pierced Rectangles Die, PTI Dye Ink (Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Mint Julep, Pinefeather, Spring Rain, Ocean Tides, Blueberry Sky), MFT Stitched Rectangle STAX 2.

Finally got around to taking Melissa's MIM challenge for
this week! I've been very busy doing Christmas stuff as I'm
sure everyone else is too. Melissa's holiday card in non-
traditional colors is another layering beauty as she takes
her die-cut word "JOY" and places it into a gorgeous BG.
I wanted to play with Home to Roost and decided I needed
to make some thank you cards for after Christmas.
Supplies: PTI Home to roost, ways to say: thank you, PTI Dye Ink (Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, New Leaf, Cocoa Bean), Reverse Confetti Grid Stitched Tag, Sizzix Tim Holtz Holiday Greens (mini), MFT Snowfall Stencil, white acrylic paint, Studio Katia Snow Crystals.
