I'm super excited to share with you this awesome piece of home decor that I created!  Yes, I'm patting my back because my creative "dreams" actually came out the way I envisioned.  This little gem is going to be staying in our family home as I'm already struggling with the idea of gifting it to anyone.  YIKES!!

Anyone that knows me, knows that I can always be found rummaging around the clearance aisle in any big box store searching for any items that are just aching to be repurposed from their original manufactured design.  Already, I have found some great deals and this wooden box was screaming that I take it home for today's blog hop!

I am absolutely in love with EVERY pattern of designer paper found in the Festive Farmhouse pack.  It fits right in with my country girl childhood background.  Something about plaid seems like the perfect match to anything galvanized...buttons, clips and metallic paper...everything can be found on Page 13 in Holiday catalog.

The letters for "Jolly" are several layers thick...meaning I die cut the letter "J" in Basic Black 3 times and topped with the Cherry Cobbler plaid designer paper.  I love dimension and stacking multiple layers just makes the whole focal point pop off of the Festive Farmhouse pattern that was run through the Big Shot with the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

From the bottom of my heart, many, many "thanks" to you for you stopping by to visit me.  I love the visits and wonderful thoughts you share with your comments.  It is always my passion to inspire you with my papercrafting projects.  I hope I have peaked your excitement to get your dreams stamped out onto paper using some of the products that I have shared with you.  I truly live to inspire!!
