Cute Card Thursday - Eat, drink and be merry

Our theme on Cute Card Thursday this week is 

Eat, drink and be merry!

It doesn't have to be Christmas related for those who are all organized and done with their Christmas makes!  I decided to have a change and make a birthday card.

Scrapbook Steals Blog Hop!

I am thrilled to be part of the Scrapbook Steals Blog Hop this month!

We are showcasing the amazing

American Crafts Glitter Ribbon

available today at the Scrapbook Steals Network a great source for all your scrapbook supplies.

You should have come from Alice's blog if not you may want to start at the beginning of the hop

 at the Scrapbook Steals blog.

I decided to alter a little gingerbread house box I found in a store. 

 The ribbon was a perfect trim to finish off the ends of the house. The ribbon is strong and sturdy making it very easy to put in place.

 I created the little wreath by using punched out holly leaves.

 The stamped image is from Lily of the Valley and the window stamp is from Magnolia.
