October Afternoon Make It Merry Blog Hop


Welcome to my stop on the October Afternoon Make It Merry Blog Hop! Today we are celebrating this fun new line. Make It Merry combines vintage holiday-print patterns with basic and graphic prints. In other words, Make It Merry has something for everyone. An added fun bonus? All of the patterned paper names start with "Make" (Make a Wreath, Make a Figgy Pudding, etc.).

Let's take a look at what the whole collection looks like:


Here's a fun card I created with this line:

 
I used all of the following products on my card:

Make a Star patterned paper (A side)
Make a Garland patterned paper (A side)
Make a Garland patterned paper (B side)
Make a Card patterned paper (A side)
Postcards

Chipboard Bundle

Tidbits
I also threw in a product from last year's holiday line, Holiday Style (love the glitter in these colors!):


Do you love Make It Merry as much as I do? If you do, how about a chance to win some of it? Please leave a comment below to be entered to win a set of the Make It Merry Miscellany (winner will be announced on Wednesday, November 14th):



Want some more chances to win? How about heading on over to the next stop on the blog hop, Roree Rumph's blog.

Here's the whole blog hop line-up. Be sure to check out each stop, as there's a giveaway at every stop:
