We are celebrating the November release with a blog hop. If you arrived here from Julee's blog then you are right on track. If you got lost along the way, Kerry is the beginning of the hop. 


I just add to use the sweet Scatter Joy set again. I love every image and sentiment. It is especially perfect considering the times we are going through right now. The social distancing is so very hard. But we do what we must to protect others.

The main image was fussy cut out after coloring with Copic Markers. The sentiment and small floral images were stamp onto a simple white strip stamped across the patterned paper background. The image was attached using foam dimensionals.

The red labels on each side were cut using a die from the Fancy Flips set and I used the small heart die from the Yeti to Party die set.  I also used the Comic Balloons die set to add some interest around the cute little yeti. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the front frame of the card and I used the County Fair die to create the banner across the front of the card.
