Adornit Blog Hop






Welcome to the Adornit Blog Hop! We're here to bring some holiday cheer. Please, start at the beginning of the hop if my blog is your first stop. I don't want you to miss out on any of the merry goodness. The link to the beginning is here: Adornit Blog Hop

I loved creating this Holiday Birdhouse. I purchased it at a thift store (one of my fav places) a few months ago. This will make the perfect holiday gift for one of my loved ones. I think I'll surprise her with it in the beginning of December to enjoy throughout the month. I used beautiful patterned paper by My Mind's Eye and Scenic Route, my fav circle punch by Fiskars, inks by Tsukineko and SEI, chipboard by Magistical Memories, grungeboard by Tim Holtz, paint by Delta, stickles by Ranger, lace, buttons, and felt pieces. A little bit of this and that.

I punched circles in 3 different patterned papers and layered them to create the gingerbread roof. I absolutely love working with chipboard and grungeboard. It adds dimension to any project and is so versatile. I decorated mine by covering with patterned paper, inking, painting, distressing, and applying Stickles.

Have a great weekend and please continue to the other stops on the blog hop.

Your next stop is to Kate Blue's Blog
