Day 6 of Christmas Blog Hop

Merry Christmas Blog Hop Day 6 and the countdown continues. Hope you are having fun with our Christmas blog hop between Beatriz from Amazing Grace and me.  Please leave us your comments – at the end of our 25 days of Christmas we will randomly pick out names for our blog candy giveaway.   Remember Bea is giving away a fabulous 2 page layout and I am giving away an album.

So let’s get started on Inspiration Day 6.  I would like to show you this Christmas mitten album.  The album is made out of chipboard which I bought at the dollar bin at Michaels. 

As you can see from above – I used another cut-out from the same snowman greeting card I received J

Isn’t that felt bird house cute. I love mixing textures together.  Notice the red glittered leaves?  They were from the flower department at Michaels.  I scored that day!

Cute felt (hand made by me) and wire beaded trees.

Notice the white paint around the chipboard edges?  I like doing that alot, whether its paint as in this case to make the mitten look cold and snowy.  Or sometimes I use brown to soften the look of the album and to make it look worn.  I use color to set moods.  Notice there was alot of blue on this mitten because blue sets the mood for cold. 

Well, tis the season and I hope that Bea and I are making this blog hop inspiring and fun for you.  Please become a follower if you are not already and leave us a comment.  Thank you and see you for our 25 Days of Christmas Blog Hop Day 7.
