Hello again! It's time for Papertrey's December blog hop and this month Nichole issued a challenge to reuse holiday trimmings to create something non-holiday related. I chose this gorgeous ribbon and tag that was on the gift my mom gave me for Christmas. My friends are probably laughing their socks off right now because I voluntarily chose to use purple tonight. Purple is usually my kryptonite!!
I turned the trimmings into a birthday card. Whadda 'ya think? Thanks so much for stopping by!
Until next time...M
Supplies:
Ink and Cardstock: Papertrey silver and plum pudding
Stamps: Papertrey It's a Celebration
Other: unk ribbon, silver cord and tag, distressing tool
I think it's absolutely beautiful; love the purple; love everything about it!!!
