Before I continue with today's post I want to send a BIG shout out!! to my newest followers!! Jenny B from Owl Be Crafty, Jenny from Jen's Paper Obsession, Elly - all the way from the Netherlands! : ) at Elly's Creations and a great big (((Hug))) for Shawna Standish! : ) Welcome welcome!! I hope you will visit often and be inspired when you do. : )
Today I wanted to make a card using my new Happy Hexagons Stamp Set from PTI. I love how you can line these stamps up and create a quilt like pattern simply by eying it up. I used Real Red and Crumb Cake inks from SU. I love how these two colors coordinate. I chose a sentiment from CTMH "Card Chatter - Sympathy" and then went to my button bin to dig for the perfect buttons.
While I was going through my buttons I came across a sweet collection of buttons from Making Memories and decided to break my resolution NOT to think of anything relating to winter for at least 6 months! LOL and create a Christmas card.
Aren't these little buttons cute? I have had them forever!! and hate to use them. But in an effort to begin USING my supplies I surrendered!
That is it for today. I have been getting a bit behind in my goal to create 100 cards in 100 days but I am not worried. : ) so far I have completed 33 cards and I still have 69 days left to go before I complete my challenge and draw a winner for my BLOG CANDY! Thank you for leaving a comment on today's post. In doing so you qualify for a chance to win. See THIS post for all the details!
Have a super day!

These are Soooooo cute. Reminds me of quilting :) you could easily do a Grandmothers garden pattern with one of these cards.
Oh I just LOVE the patterned hexagons, Patti! Such beautiful colors and design on these two cards.
I adore hexagons! Very cute card
I really am in love with the hexagon craze right now. I usually am not big into the geometric designs, but for some reason I love the hexagons LOL! I like the buttons you added. Both of the cards have a comfy, warm feel to them.
These are super gorgeous, Patti. And I am in LOVE with the Christmas version. The quilted look is perfect for cold days. :-)
