Petaloo & Jillibean Soup Week

This has been such a fun week over at the Petaloo and Jillibean Soup Blogs.   Go check it out!!!

Imagine my surprise when I opened my box and saw all of the fun and cheery product I got to play with!!!  Jillibean's Christmas Eve Chowder screams "make cards with me...make cards....!!!"  Can you hear it?  Ssh...listen.....Yup, there it is!  This paper line is soooooo much fun.  Full of bright and cheery colors and fun images.  The year making cards has been one of my goals.  I never considered myself a card maker, and I certainly wouldn't show you one if I made it. LOL  However, you can't get better if you don't practice.  So, here I am practicing! 

Look at that chubby little penguin!  Love him!  Petaloo's Jeweled Florettes are a perfect accent and are oh-so-stackable.

Say it with me... "candied poinsettias". :)  How awesome are they?! I gently bent the petals upwards and placed a color me crazy dahlia behind it to make it POP! mmm-mmm-mmmm!  Yummy!

 BAM! Hearty Barley by Jillibean evokes images of a vintage 60's cabin.  I love the Kraft paper in this line. 

Christmas Eve Chowder and Hearty Barley...sounds like a great combo and it looks even better.  I mixed and matched these two lines to dress up my card.

I cut some flowers out of the Hearty Barley paper to use as a back drop for my Candied Poinsettia.  I plumped up my flower arrangement by adding some Devon Silk paper Flowers.  Ahhh, so fresh, crispy and snowy-feeling.

I hope these cards get you in the mood.  Most of all I hope they bring back that innocent and magical feel of the holiday season.  To you and yours....may you have the happiest and healthiest of holidays.

Hugs, Lisa V.
