CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Country Christmas

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is COUNTRY CHRISTMAS! We have a country Christmas every year here in the boondocks, haha. I loooove big old barns, so Christmas Barn was a must-have for me!

When it snows, the colors seem to disappear leaving the barn looking gray, and the trees, as well. The only pop of color is the people enjoying the sleigh ride (which is on my bucket list)!

I used some red gingham from the soon to retire Gingham Cottage DSP for a pop of color in the background. And it's hard to see, but before I die cut the holly berries, I put a piece of packing tape over them so they'd be shiny.

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori at Loritamarie Crafts.

CCM Saturday Blog Hop - All That Glistens

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is All that Glistens, meaning lots of shine and/or sparkle. Stampin' Up! has lots of options when it comes to shiny, sparkly stuff, so this was a fun one for me! 

Glistening things make me think of snow, so I went straight for the Joyful Flurry Bundle, pairing it with white glimmer paper, silver foil, and some new GORGEOUS Textured Shimmer Paper that's coming in January! It's a very fine corrugated, shimmery paper and the pack includes Balmy Blue (used here), white, and Shaded Spruce.

I really tried to capture the shimmer, but you may need to click on the pic to enlarge it and see for yourself. There's glimmer on foil on shimmer! 💙
