Heart's of the West 32nd Blog Hop - Oh Deer! Paper Packet

Welcome to the Hearts of the West Team Blog Hop!

This Blog Hop features Close to My Heart Consultants from all over Canada showing you their creative projects.

This month's theme is using Close to My Heart's City Oh Deer! Paper Packet. This paper packet is featured in CTMH's Holiday Expressions Mini Catalogue.

If you came from Nancy Klein's Blog, then you are on the right track. This is a circular blog hop so you can start anywhere. Just in case, the full list of participants is at the bottom of this post. 

So as always, grab your beverage of choice and hop around the country with us.

I used Close To My Heart's Oh Deer! Packet with CTMH's Cocoa cardstock.

To embellish the sign, I used CTMH's Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge & CTMH's Winter Thin Cut.

To make the sign, I asked my husband to cut me 3 pieces of 2 x 2. One 5" long, one 7" long & one at 9" long. He sanded the edges for me. I adhered the paper to the wood and then did a light white wash over the paper with white paint and water so that the lettering stood out more from the patterned paper.

Now hop on over to Corinna Murphy's Blog.

Thank you for joining us this month. Please join us again on January 1st for our next Heart's of the West Blog Hop featuring one of CTMH's New Paper Packets from the Upcoming New Mini Catalogue.
