Home Decor-Decorate Your Own Tree

Does this tree look plain to you?  Well, come put one together and then decorate the tree with the accents of your choice.  Choose from ribbon, ornaments, chains, and whatever you think will make it yours.

Come back tomorrow to see some ornaments you can make at my Home Decor class on November 12th 10-3:30.

Home Decor-Advent Calendar

   I like to prepare for Christmas with an Advent Calendar.  This home decor piece was made using several Project Life pieces. 

Individual Pieces made using Hello December 2016 Card Collection

Accents on the cards made using Hello December Accessory Pack

Cards are clipped onto Baker's Twine using the Gold Binder Clips from the annual catalog.

Cost of this project is $50 and includes everything but the frame.

What can you use this for?
   
      Take a picture of some Christmas activity each day of December.  Then you are already to create a scrapbook for the month.  The cards will make great accent pieces in the scrapbook.

     Behind each card list an activity you can do as a family for each day of Advent.

     Do something kind for someone each day of Advent and take a picture or journal about it.

    List a Bible reading behind each card for Advent.

You can think up even more ideas to make this an interactive Christmas decoration.

Come back tomorrow to see the final project you can make at the Christmas event held at my house on Saturday, November 12th from 10-3:30.  

    

A Frame for the Winter

      One of the last things I did before I left for Ohio to help out my daughter was attend the December meeting of the Jubilant Butterflies. We always have a gift exchange for our December meeting.  Rae Ellen made this wonderful frame using the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching framelits.  I just love it and think it is a great thing to display all winter long. I am going to make something similar for my January Frame art class later on this month. 

Fix it Friday-Certificate Enhancement

    
  Each time you reach a promotion from SU you receive a nice certificate to commemorate the occasion.  I have saved mine all these years and finally decided I needed to hang them up in my stamping room.

    I wanted to add a little something to the frames and thought to myself what better thing to use than the stamp I created myself.  So each frame  has a flower in a different color that I made with my Undefined tools.  I like how it looks on the wall.
