Papertrey November Blog Hop



I hope all my friends from the US had a nice Thanksgiving.  Now, put down the turkey, because it's time for the November Papertrey Blog Hop.  Nicole provided us with this beautiful inspiration photo:




There were so many wonderful elements to pull from this photo.  The main impression I had was one of a cozy scene at home.  I also wanted to incorporate the red and green, the natural wood, the red ribbon, the greenery of the plants, and the gingham sofa.  Here is my card:


Supplies Used (PTI)
Stamps:  On My Couch & Additions, Background Basics Gingham, Gracious Vases, Tiny Treats Christmas, Holiday Lights
Paper:  Vintage Cream, Pine Feather, Pure Poppy, Echo Park Season's Greetings
Other:  On My Couch Dies, Edgers Die, Woodgrain IP




Thanks for Visiting
