August Blog Hop at Just Inklined

Hello there, so glad you popped in.....you're just in time for another Blog Hop at Just Inklined!  So, grab a cup of something, put your feet up....and enjoy.  This month, Jak is our lovely hostess, with a recipe.....3 buttons and 2 papers, and that is where the hop begins.  I will list the blog order at the end of this post, and just be sure to leave your comments along the way for your chance to win one of the spot prizes!



With some of the extreme heat we have been having, I think it's put me in the mood for winter (ha ha), so I've made another Christmas card....this time using the adorable Father Christmas image.   He was nice and easy to colour, and I've added glamour dust to the fur on his hat for some extra sparkle.  The two patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye - Be Merry collection.  Of course, I didn't have buttons to match, so I coloured some up with copics, adding some additional sparkle.

Next, you need to head on over see what the very talented Tammy has created.....she is sure to inspire you!  The full blog order is as follows:

Jak, Joyce (that's me), Tammy, Karen, Jane, Lori, Marcea

 I hope you enjoyed your visit here, and all the rest of the stops along the way.  Good luck on the spot prizes....maybe it will be your lucky day!

Now, for a few challenges for this card:
