Welcome to the Christmas Blog Hop. This is my first blog hop EVER! So thanks for letting me join in on the fun. You should have just arrived from Tenia Nelson's blog. If you got lost along the way, check back at the DeNami blog.
I have been diligently working on Christmas cards for the last month or so and was lucky enough to win some DeNami stamps in a blog candy give away just in time for this blog hop. Thanks again Michelle for the stamps!
This card took quite some time to make... not for the lack of inspiration from the stamps but because I had a fight with my sewing machine. I thought the Mojo Monday (MOJO164) sketch would be perfect for this card and it had some stitching shown. I have really been wanting to use my sewing machine because so many others have added such wonderful detail to their work with stitching and it was my Grandmother's. Every time I use it I think of her. Boy, I sure wish she was here to help me figure out what the heck was wrong today! I could not for the life of me get the zigzag stitch to work. Three hours later, after taking it apart, I manged to get this stitch to work. Good Enough!!! Anyhow, I just love how this card turned out and hope you like it too!
The Stamps are from DeNami, of course! The paper is from TPC Studio Winter Blues- A Little Snow and Snowday. The snow paper is from Colorbok- photographic paper book. All ink used were Cat's Eyes (not sure on the colors as they stack together and don't have the color written on them). I got the fuzzy white scalloped ribbon by the yard at Archivers. The cute snowflake is from Jolee's by You- Glitter Snowflakes. The rhinestones are from Me and My Big Ideas.
I hope you have enjoyed my card and my first ever blog hop. If you're new to my blog, please consider becoming a follower. To continue on the blog hop, go to Beverly Montez's blog. Thanks again for hopping by!!!
