For the hop, I chose to work in the HOLIDAY category with this Christmas card, pairing Angel Anya with papers & stickers from The Girls' Paperie "Tinsel & Twig" collection. (And I'm entering this into this month's Farm Fresh Challenge - Ah, it feels so good to use the stash!) I went a little wild with the paper piecing on this image, but I love the effect. Making the rosette was a bit more challenging than I expected, but I am hooked on this look.
On the inside, I kept it simple with some border stickers and a sentiment (also retro) from Stampin' Up!
Now for the real good stuff: PRIZES! In addition to the two Grand Prizes that will be drawn for the participant's creations, a random hopper will ALSO win the ENTIRE upcoming January Release! That's 6 sets in all- a HUGE prize...and the only way to win is by participating in the blog hop!
