Jingle all the way!

Well, here is a one of a kind, decoration you can make for less than $10! That's my kind of deal! I took a lovely gold plate (the color in the picture doesn't do it justice!) from Michaels and a few sprigs of pine, a few bells, and the easy to use Decor Element from SU to make this in about 10 minutes. It's too cute and makes a great accent to complement our gold theme in our living room. The best part- is the vinyl cling on saying only cost $3.95 and took about 2 minutes maximum to apply to the plate! I love it!

Now, as for this item...paper trees seem to be all the rage lately, so I've been just waiting to make one of these! It was actually very easy, also. I used the paper strips from the Star Bright kit to put onto a foam cone with straight pins. I used the large stars for the top and added a few flowers I punched out and accented with a sparkling brad to give it just a touch of bling. Even Toby liked it! Yeah!

Christmas time is here!

Okay, here is the first of a few projects I made for the Holiday Extravaganza class. This is just a plain white gift bag that I stamped to decorate.

This is an ornament I made that was inspired by another blogger, jackietopa from Addicted to Stamping. I used a transparency sheet and stamped snowflakes using glue and sprinkled a little glitter on them. Then I hung a few stars from the center and used the paper globes for the top and bottom. The only problem was I forgot to think about how I would close the transparency sheet! A little got glue did the trick.

And here is yet another ornament I made for the class that I completely CASED (Copy and Steal Everything)! Barb Mullikin had this great 3-dimensional ornament. I actually hung my ornament inside a red berry wreath hanging on the wall.

Finally, here is a card that was very simple to make. It is just a white card with riding hood red paper, whisper white ink, old olive ribbon and one of the wonderful cutouts from the Holiday Collection! I love things that are easy to make.
