LeighSBDesigns Christmas in July Blog Hop

Click HERE for the details and to link up your project!  My make for today was technically ready yesterday but I was set upon by a whopping migraine that lingers even tonight!  So sadly this poor Poe tag was left setting on the table.

Using inspiration from Lyneen, who gave Poe a summer theme and made him look happy, I brought him to the Christmas in July fun!  The image Ode to Poe is one of Leigh's fabtastic Poe themed digis and the scarf, Santa hat and Christmas tree are from the Very Yeti Christmas Festive Add On set also at LeighSBDesigns!  I ran the tag through an embossing folder and swiped with some white acrylic paint.  Then I embossed the bottom and added some snowflakes with white embossing powder.  Poe and his rocking accessories were colored with Spectrum Noir markers and then embossed with the white powder.  I made the sentiment in a photo editing program and inked with fired brick Distress Ink.  The last bit was some glue and string!  It is so fun to be blog hopping again and the Christmas/Winter theme brings me some chilly thoughts of anything but this summer heat!  
P.S. Today is my beloved Daddy's birthday.  I am remembering him with joy and love always!
