Amber Ink Holiday Hop

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm thrilled to participate in a blog hop for the Amber Ink Torch Bearers past and present.  Who are the TB's? (Wow, that sounds like a disease instead of the honor that it is...lol!)  They are the creatively named Design Team members for Amber Ink, and since I was the inaugural purple Torch Bearer, I'm privileged to be able to participate.  Amber Ink is a craft mafia of the best sort...family for life!

You should have arrived from Shannan's blog, but if you didn't, you will want to begin and end at the Amber Inklings blog.  That's the place to start and get all the details...Rumor has it there will be prizes :)

Now our theme for the hop is a 7 course dinner for 2.  We can only use 2 colors on our card (not counting neutrals) and 7 other things...

Here is the invite I made for my Holiday Shindig this year.  I used the super fab Hostess with the Mostess set.

My 2 colors are blue and brown.

My 7 things are:

1 piece of patterned paper, 1 ribbon, 1 snowflake embelli, 3 different foods, and 1 sentiment. 

 You don't always have to color everything when it comes to an outline stamp...A little color in the right spot can be the wow factor.  Especially when making multiple invites ;)

See?

Gosh I love this girl!  Speaking of lovin' the girlz, your next stop on the hop is Melissa. Make sure you stop and see what she has cooked up for you.

Don't forget to add a dash of love here and there along the way...Remember there are prizes being given out!  Where?  On which blog? You never know!

In case you are totally lost, here is the entire list ;)
