Can you believe that in less than 2 weeks we will all be celebrating Thanksgiving! It is so early this year but I guess that will give everyone a bit more time to plan for Christmas, right? This month inspiration photo is just so beautiful, I would love to have fun bedding like this for the holidays, it is so festive and the colors are so bright and cheery!
I woke up this morning around 2am to the sound of an amazing hail storm and it seemed to last forever! Our cars looked like there had been a bit of a snow flurry. The hail storm was followed by thunder and lightning and lots of rain and I just could not get back to sleep. I realized it was the 9th and did not have my card ready for this month WP9 blog hop so I fixed a cup of coffee and turned I Love Lucy on and made my card. Thanks for taking the time to visit today.
Ingredients
Solid Card Stock: PTI - White and Pure Poppy
Patterned Paper: Stash
Ribbon: Stash
Stamps and Dies: WP9 - Iconic Christmas
