My Favorite Things

Happy Monday!  



Today is my day to feature My Favorite Things from Ginger Snap Scraps.  One of my absolute favorite things is Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  I have to make a confession, I have every color made. 

 Do you think maybe I need sort of therapy?  I promise I actually use them.  My wonderful son even made me a storage holder for them.  Right where I can get to them easily.


Back in the beginning of July, I posted featuring the Summer Distress Inks.  Well, today in the spirit of Christmas in July, I am featuring the Winter Distress Inks.  






Supplies used:

Base Card - Cut with CTMH Art Philosophy
Background - Evergreen Bough and Festive Berries
Greenery - Iced Spruce
Grungeboard - Evergreen Bough
Snowflakes - Old Paper Ink and Course Glitter 
Card Base - Bo Bunny Chiffon Double Dot

I hope I have gotten you geared up for making Christmas cards.  
Check out the Ginger Snap Scraps store for  supplies to create your projects.



It will be here sooner than you think.   

To get you started I am giving away a set of the Winter Distress Inks. 


 All you have to do is be a follower on my blog, a follower of Ginger Snap Scraps Blog and leave a comment on this post.

I will select the winner next Monday after our Christmas in July blog hop!   


 So until next time be safe.....and create
