Blog Candy

Jacksonbelle Blog Hop!

Welcome to day 12 of the Jacksonbelle 12 Days of Christmas!  Today we have a super fun blog hop for all of you.  The entire Jacksonbelle design team has created some gorgeous Christmas projects to share with you today!  Be sure to follow through the entire blog hop and leave a comment on each blog.  There will be some fabulous October Afternoon blog candy given away on one of the blogs…but which one?  It is a mystery!  Be sure to leave a comment on every blog in the hop because you never know which blog will have the mystery candy!

Here are a couple of cards I made JUST FOR YOU!! 




The patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket paper pack. I cut out "December" and the star with my Silhouette and added some pizazz by inking the edges with brown ink and
adding some "shine" with a white gel pen.









Now this card was a total mistake. Do you see the details in the star? Those were actually
mis-cuts (or should I say, NON cuts) from my Silhouette machine. I didn't have 
the paper setting right and I did a whole sheet of snowflakes that didn't cut all the
way through. So what was I gonna do? Throw it away? No way!! I cut stars out of
that sheet of mis-cuts and when I inked it up a little the details popped right out. Happy mistake!! (PS.. This is a CPS Sketch.. isn't it great?!?!)


Here's a close-up:





I used that paper from Making Memories I've been addicted to again, and a button or two from Basic Grey. 


Now remember to comment on this post for your chance to win a whole bunch of October Afternoon, and head on over to:

      Tobi, you are a hoot!!! Anyone that can create such a beautiful card out a mistake is truly talented. I don't think anyone would have known the difference had you not mentioned it. I think Jacksonbelle Embellishments and we are very blessed to have you as a design team member!!!
