Cloud 9 November Blog Hop


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

  1. Hail, really? Wow, mother nature is sure going batty. You made excellent use of your time, however. This project just screams sweet Christmas. I love that little scene with santa and the tree, that peeks through the window.
