Welcome to the Holly Jolly Blog Hop!

 

Hello! and Welcome to the Holly Jolly Blog Hop, being hosted by the inspiring Fantablulouslyping blog and the Kreimers! If you are just beginning the hop you should start here at the Kreimers!! If you have come from Greengirls' blog, you are in the right place!

I had so much fun making the "Sweet Shoppe" box a while back for the Summer blog hop, I thought I'd make one for Santa! You can find that Sweet Shoppe post here!

 The snow on the windows is done with CTMH's liquid applique. Looks like real snow in real life!!

These next 2 are the inside pics. You could see through the windows of the smaller box and see the back wall so I was assuming you could on this box too! and you might have been able to if I hadn't put so much in front of the windows, huh!?? I hate it, cause it came out soooo cute!

I used my poor broken down Imagine, which is printing only, and going back to HSN, luckily I had purchased the extended warranty!! The carts I used were Imagine Santa's Village, Imagine Yummy for the candy dishes, Imagine Best Friends for the children and Imagine Snow Angel for the tree on the outside and Sweet Treats for the box! The inside wreaths are from Joys of the Season. The signpost is from the smaller box!

Now for the reason you are here! I have blog candy! Just leave a comment telling me if you make your own Christmas cards and if they are finished!! I have about 1/3 of them completed! The winner will get the August Stamp of the Month set from CTMH, in case you missed the opportunity to purchase this great set of stamps, here's your chance to win them! I'll draw a winner Monday a.m. using random.org.

Here's a sample of what this stamp set can do!

Next up on the hop is the very talented and inspiring Yolanda's Craftyscentiments!

I hope I have inspired you to create your own little Shoppe for the holidays! I might just make a set! My DGD will love it! If you would like my CCR file for this, leave me a comment and an email address to send it to!

Have a great weekend!

Here's the lineup in case you get lost!
