Christmas Layout in Blues

We had a wonderful time at my Christmas Open House yesterday.  I enjoyed it very much!  I have another Christmas layout for you today.  This is the one we'll be making at my next Scraps and Prayers class.  I love this color story!

A Cherry Cobbler Layout with a Surprise

While we're waiting for the turkey to cook, here's a little Cherry Cobbler layout I made up for some fun.  Be sure to read my entire post to learn about the surprise with this layout.

It's the day before Thanksgiving and heavenly smells will be filling our home soon, as we cook our turkey the day before Thanksgiving.  My Bill usually cooks our turkey on the Weber.  It is amazing.  This year, with it being so cold, we're going to cook it inside, to be sure the heat stays even and the bird gets completely cooked.  It will be wonderful, I'm sure.  Now, for the layout. 
I've used our Festival of Trees and Wondrous Wreath stamp sets, our little Banner Punch and some of our gorgeous Cherry Cobbler ribbon. 
The papers are from our All is Calm DSP.  It looks nice with the Cherry Cobbler and totally changes the feel of the color story.
The snowflake is from our Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies.
Now, for the surprise.  
All the pieces for this layout were leftovers from other projects!
The turkey is now in the oven.  The fun is just around the corner!

'Joy' Blocks

Here's a closer look at the 'Joy' Blocks we'll be making at my November 10 Scraps and Prayers class.  I really like how they turned out.
The letters are cut from Glimmer Paper that I spritzed with Cherry Cobbler reinker.  I like how the Cherry Cobbler becomes a wonderful accent for our All is Calm DSP.
I've used our Wondrous Wreath stamps and coordinating die to create a wreath to stand in for the 'o' in Joy.

To create the 'wrapped present' look for each block, I wrapped one piece of ribbon around the block and attached it.  I wrapped a second piece around the block the opposite direction, leaving long ends to tie.  I cut a 'v' in the ends of each ribbon... because it just looks cool.

Festival Of Trees Duo

Today, I'm starting a new series to share some ideas with you for table centerpieces... for the entire year!  I volunteered to make centerpieces for our church's Birthday Bash dinner last September, so this is what I designed.  I wanted them to have some uniformity, so I chose large canning jars for each table and filled them with seasonal decor for each month.  I made 3 for each table.  Each centerpiece has lots of sparkle and bling for the filler in the jars and I used lots of pretty ribbons wherever possible.  All the pieces are attached to tiny dowels, so they stand up in the jars.

It was really fun and I think everyone liked them a lot.  The best part, besides making people happy, is that I bought tubs to store them and we'll use them again next time:)

Let's start with January, February and March.
For January, I used left-over snowflakes from one of our kits last year.
For February, I used several hearts die cut from our glimmer paper, scored them down the middle, and attached several so they'd be 3-D. 
For March, I used die cut flowers cut from our filter papers and spritzed them until I got the shade I wanted.  After they dried, I spritzed them again with shimmer mist.

Come back soon to see the rest of my decor for each month.  Have a beautiful day.  I'm off to enjoy my Christmas Retreat today.  We're going to have fun!

Card #3 for My Christmas Retreat

Here's a closer look at the 3rd card for my October 25 Christmas Retreat.
I love the Lost Lagoon/Pear Pizzazz color combo, especially with the crisp, clean white layer.
I've used Washi Tape on the envelope and under the ribbon on the card.  This is one of my new favorites, for sure.  My finishing touch --- a few little rhinestones and a bit of Baker's Twine.

A Closer Look at My Retreat Projects

Today, let's take a closer look at my projects for the October 25 Christmas Retreat.  Each of the 3 projects has something special inside!
The first project features beautiful Pear Pizzazz and Lost Lagoon - It's a set of the cutest little cards ever, all in a special stamp case.  This will be as much fun to make as it is to give.  It's one of my favorite projects this year, for sure.
This project uses our Tag A Bag Gift Boxes.  It's decorated so that you don't have to destroy all the beautiful wrappings to get to the gift.  You could place most any small gift inside this box.  I've used peppermint patties for this one.
All you have to do to open it is slide over the acetate 'sleeve' and enjoy your treats.
This project features a gift box for which I've created a top opening and a little ribbon handle.  Inside is a set of cute little gift enclosure cards, along with coordinated (stamped) envelopes.  I've added a die-cut snowflake to the window of the box.
So, now that you've seen all 3 projects, which one do you like the best?
Would you like more details for the cards we'll be making at the Christmas Retreat?  Come on back, because that's what I have coming up next for you.

It's Time to Get Busy on Some Christmas Projects!

Working with my new puppies each day has made the time fly by and I realize that I haven't shared some of my projects with you for our upcoming October 25 Christmas Retreat.  Would you like a sneak peek?
These are the projects and cards that we'll be making.
The 3 projects each use our All is Calm DSP and have something special inside of them.
The cards all feature our Festival of Trees stamp set.  Because all the cards are made with the same stamp set, that gives us more time so that we can make 3 of each one!
In my next post, I'll share more details about the projects and, in later posts, details about each card.
