Aren't you excited! One extra Papertrey Ink group post for this month's release! It's just a blast to see what everyone makes isn't it! Wasn't yesterday inspiring with all the amazing notepads! I truly feel blessed and amazed to be a part of such a talented group of ladies! WOW!
So...We were all challenged to create 5 cards of one simple design...I instantly knew I wanted to use the Holly image from Holiday Button Bits (available Oct. 15th through Papertrey Ink) it's cool how HUGE it is... take up a good amount of space while still allowing for white space... So fun! (and yes... I can create using traditional Christmas colors Ladies and Gents! LOL!)
I've been tying a lot of bows lately so I thought I would try a little ribbon knot to shake things up a bit.
You could definitely spruce this up even more by threading the buttons. I chose not to because I wanted to keep it real for you all. Lets be honest... if I'm personally making a boat load of these babies there is no way I will have the time to hand tread that many buttons. Now... if I weren't wrangling my four girls I would take that extra step... I think it would be a great touch!
Here is the download for you if you want to create these for yourself!
I must saw I'm in AWE of Nichole's graphics in this file... she is so amazing!
I hope you take the time to visit the other DT blogs... it's such a tour of inspiration!
Just think... the release party is just a few hours away! I hope you will stop in and say hi!
Thanks for poppying by!

The dotty holly leaves work really well with the dotty red background paper. Yes, traditional colours but a modern twist to it!

You're too funny! I agree about the 'boat load' of cards, I had to make eleven of one design for a swap last night and was going for simple and it still took for-evah! This is very cheery, very nicely traditional in color but so modern in design. Great card.

What a beautiful card! Thank you for using some of the holiday paper from PTI in with your design. The colors are so vibrant and I like traditional designs. So you card has me thinking now on how to use this new patterned paper.
