Welcome! It’s August and that means Christmas over at Red Rubber Designs. I love this holiday! And this gives me a chance to get a head start on my projects. You can play along as well and get those cards, presents and ornaments made before the mad rush of the holidays.
Contest Details:
It looks like one of Santa’s elves has been causing a little mischief in the workshops and craft areas of our Design Team members. Look closely at each project on the hop and you will see that said elf has left a little image of his jolly employer on one of the Design Team member’s creation. Find the picture of Santa then let us know where you found it (whose blog). Email your name and the name of the blog where you found the picture of Santa to contest@RedRubberDesigns.com . Every correct answer will be entered into a random draw for the Spotlight Stamp Holiday Wreath. Contest ends Sunday, August 5 at midnight (CDT). Good luck.
My Project for the hop is a Christmas Mini Album. I will fill the pages after Christmas but I have completed the covers. Our featured stamp for the blog hop is the Holiday Wreaths. I am a non-traditional kind of girl when it comes to colors. I love turquoise as you already know so why can’t I use it for my fav holiday?!! I silver embossed my bottom layer, gold embossed the stars on acetate and added some gold embossed berries and beautiful ribbon. I used background paper and paint sprays with a stencil and stamp for my background.
