SPS November Hop and Challenge - Foliage

{This is my second hop for the day - if you are looking for My Craft Spot new release hop, click HERE or scroll down to the last post)

Good morning! It is the first Saturday of the month of November (ALREADY!!!), so the Shop Pumpkin Spice Design Team is hopping together with a new challenge - Foliage! You should have arrived here from Carissa's blog! The full blog line-up is at the bottom of this post, so feel free to go back and start at the beginning!


I planned on making a fall/Thanksgiving card with a theme like foliage - but with how much snow we've been getting here (which has caused me to give in to the temptation to put on Christmas music!) - I ended up with a Christmas theme card! I also have been loving silhouettes lately - so this worked perfectly!!! 


I used an older Glitz Design paper pad from Shop Pumpkin Spice. It isn't carried there any more, but you can find a few other beautiful ones HERE. I cut my fun wreath with my Silhouette Cameo and Studio Designer Edition Software. Sentiment is from My Craft Spot stamped on a banner cut with a die also from My Craft Spot (both from the new release!), and I added some black jute twine and cherry red traditional baker's twine and tied on a couple little jingle bells for a festive touch.

Only one stop left on the hop today - so head on over to the Shop Pumpkin Spice Blog and check out (and please play along with) the new challenge!
