Robin's Nest and Helmar Home for the Holidays Blog Hop Project


 
Hi everyone!  I am so excited to be a part of The Robin's Nest and Helmar Home for the Holidays Blog Hop!

If you are hopping along, you should have arrived here from Liz Chidester's blog  . . . if you just happened upon my page or were checking in on me, head on over to The Robin's Nest Blog so you can hop from the beginning.  Don't forget to "follow" each blog as you visit and leave a comment on their blog hop post to be eligible for some blog candy.  Your name could be drawn for fab prizes!

Here is my Home for the Holidays Mini Album created for the Blog Hop.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.  These papers were a fun choice for Christmas.  I am usually drawn to the Red/Green/White combo that gets a little boring.  This was a great deviation from what I would instinctively choose and create; and really allowed me room to play with the paper without any expectations.  I LOVE the finished product.  Let me know what you think (comment and follow for a chance to win prizes).



In this project I used Glitter Christmas Trees cardstock, Glitter Christmas Words cardstock, Red Swirl Glitter cardstock, Glitter Black and White HollyGlitter Silver on Black cardstock, Christmas Dew Drops  , Helmar Quickfix Adhesive Runner, Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive,  This was the first time I used the Helmar Quickfix Adhesive and I have to say that I really like it.  Most tape runner style adhesives I've tried do not have the staying power you find with a wet adhesive, but I'm happy to report that this one actually does.  I am also impressed with the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive and will definitely have to get some more of that.

Here are some pictures of my project:
