Welcome to the
Kickin' Off Christmas Blog Hop!

You should be arriving from Maria's Blog:

This Blog Hop is being sponsored by:

My name is Stephanie and I design for Scrapmaster's Paradise and the SP & Company Stamps!
Samantha is a dear friend of mine and we get together once in awhile to have some girlie scrap time.
  I was so excited when she told me that she was going to start designing stamps!  Well, I just love stamps and Samantha thought long and hard about this decision and let me tell you---These stamps are WONDERFUL!
The stamps are made of high quality photopolymer and the designs are fantastic!  They stamp so well and they are so easy to use and to clean!  Love them!!!  She has twelve Stamps Sets right now and four of those are Christmas/Winter sets! Go check them out:

Here is one of my Christmas cards I will be sending out this year:

How about a Giveaway!
I am offering an SP & Company Stamp Set that Samantha was so kind to donate for our Blog Hop!

  39. I love the trees on your card, they look so elegant! As far as a color theme for my tree this year, I guess you would call it mish mosh. I have 4 kids who like to help decorate and create their own ornaments, so I never know what it will turn out to be!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Your card is just beautiful and I really love the colors you used. Christmas is my favorite time of year. Our christmas tree is traditionally multi-colored. We hang ornaments from when I was a kids, one the kids have made and friends...so I guess it is a rainbow of color. No one color stands out more than another. Sometimes I would love to go with just certain colors...those tree's are so beautiful too...LOL. It is a joy to be back on your blog. Have a super day!!

  67. This year there will not be a tree at my house. No, I'm not being a hum bug and yes I celebrate Christmas. However, last year I found out the hard way that having a christmas tree decorated with ornaments, etc. is difficult to keep in a house with six (6) cats and a huge dog (german sheppard). I love all my pets but I must confess last year after seeing the distruction they created I almost rounded them up into the van and drove them to the animal shelter (LOL). If I were to have a tree this year my colors would be purple & gold (Laker's colors)! I would also have it decked out with a few of my hand made creations.

    Thanks for the chance to win. I really enjoyed visiting your blog and I will return.
