This week's challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room is "Christmas in July". Fun, fun fun!! I love to make Christmas cards, and I love to make 'em early so I don't have to rush through them. This poor Lily stamp, from Pink Cat Studios, doesn't get inked up nearly enough. She's so sweet, reminds me of my Bella. :)

The Shabby Tea Room - Week 17

This week's challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room is "Make an Impression" - use dry embossing. Yeah! Dry embossing is one technique that I love!! I was totally inspired by a layout created by Jill, one of our previous Tea Room girls. I just love how she made a frame for her photo. I decided to use embossed squares to create a frame. I chose 7 of my favorite embossing folders, made 2 squares from each folder, and voila!!

Our sponsor this week in the Tea Room is Pixie Petals Etsy Shop and Aesa provided the Design Team members with the most gorgeous handmade satin and lace flowers and yummy crocheted fleurettes! The Pixie Petals Etsy Shop offers vintage and vintage-inspired embellishments as well as handcrafted blooms, bits and bobs!
