The Character Cafe November Blog Hop

Welcome everyone, it's Friday....and time for our Blog hop at The Character Cafe!   We are showcasing six exciting new images, and the DT has some delightful creations to share with you.  If you've arrived here from Jessica's blog, then you are on the right path.  Otherwise, to be sure you don't miss anything, go back here to the beginning.

Today I have used the nostalgic Tree Shopping image, and it brings back memories of when my girls were small....getting that perfect (or sometimes not so perfect) tree.

I have coloured with my Prismas, inking the edges and adding Glamour Dust for lots of sparkle....though it doesn't show too much in the photo.  The red die cut has been edged with gold Stickles.
 
The Christmas paper was found while on vacation, and please note the little hand made poinsettia.....made by my daughter (I'm hoping she will make me some more!  Yes, it is quilling.)

Next, be sure to leave a comment.....There will be a random draw for the image I have used, and everyone who comments at all of the hops stands a chance at the grand prize of 2 New Release images and a $5 gift certificate to the store.  

Your next hop is to Deanette's blog, where you are sure to find something special!  Have a great day, and thanks for visiting.

  10. Another fabulous card Joyce. This is a very nostalgic image - just beautiful and so well coloured. You daughter's Poinsettia is perfect for it.
    It's Bonfire NIght here, but a wet and mucky evening. We will stay in and have the family round for a meal and maybe go to a display tomorrow or Sunday.
    Have a good weekend yourself whatever you are doing.
