The November Blog Hop is not taking place until November 25th, but we thought we would share the challenge as well as the inspiration photo here to give you a head start.

What
A day dedicated to seeking inspiration through projects utilizing Papertrey Ink products.This event allows all of our customers who enjoy sharing inspiration & artwork with their peers do so through their personal blogs.

When

The actual Blog Hop will take place on November 25th, beginning @ 10 am EST.

The-Challenge

Blog hop inspiration

photograph from Lesley at Chaotically Creative

Maybe it was the gold foil polka dots on the Hawaiian Shores gift boxes that did it…or those bright candy colored ornaments on the frosty tree. Whatever it was, this inspiration picture just left me smiling and itching to create a holiday card that used a non-traditional color scheme. Put your creativity to work creating any kind of project using some of the elements from this gorgeous photo. It could be anything from a birthday card to a holiday themed project. Gather some of your favorite supplies and create something extra special for a special someone!
