A few ornaments created

Ornaments created for my friend. I love the holiday and could not create just one. So ..... one was painted, the other altered and glittered and the last one.. well she loves vintage and the snowflake just reminded me of the old pipecleaner ornaments from my grandmothers tree. :)

Santa Clause is coming to Town!!

Friends, work has consumed me, but I wanted to take the time to post another project. This one is a old craft, one that I have not done in a long time. For my Gibbs swap partner I could not resist! We were challenged with creating an item ' covered in paint '. This did not call for a paper project although I did end up with several painted paper items and will add an additional one to this post. :)

Painting a ceramic santa however was just the thing for the challenge and the season. :)

The additional... a painted rabbit, sugared in snow and cuttled with the flower of Christmas. I altered a small hat box for my snow bunny to rest on and filled with sweet mints that melt in your mouth.

 

 

Make it Merry and Bright !

More Cards. I decided I give so many Christmas cards, I wanted to ensure that Laurie had some to choose from.
So these too she received in her box of goodies. I mentioned I LOVE my Cricut, however I will never forget the classics!
I also love to pull out my Sizzix and create, and these cards are all Sizzix. Sizzix original die candy cane and original die holly. Again the Sizzix embossing Polka Dot folder, a few buttons and bling and walla - precious !
Hummm, someone just asked if I have a thing for polka dots ???? I don't see where they got this idea from ;) LOL!

 

 

 

Holiday Cards

As promised, I just walked in the door and would you believe it, I am still not finished!!! Honestly believe that next year I will rethink the decorations for my church and most certainly get some help!!

Ok, enough of my whining and on to the cards. These were quick, and I think they turned out oh so cute!
Cartridge used... do we need a drum roll ? Yep, you guessed it ! Winter Woodland ... AGAIN ! LOL
What can I say, it is full of simple happy shapes. The circle and scallop backing were both cut using the WW cart. You should see a resemblance to the snowflakes. Except these were cut using the blackout or shadow feature.
a Sizzix polka dot folder to emboss the back ground, dimensional stickers from my stash, and blue SU ribbon finish it off.

I just love using these happy colors for Christmas cards.
