Thanksgiving is coming up quick. So a few weeks ago I teamed up with The Ribbon Retreat to make these quick and easy Bottle Cap Turkey Brooches and necklaces. My little Miss is so excited to give a couple away to her friends at school. I mean what little girls doesn’t love jewelry and trinkets? [Read more…]

{Adore Him} Mantel
This years Christmas Mantel is is all about Nativities. I love Christmas Nativities. I have been collecting them for years.Countries like the Czech Republic, Mexico, Spain and Russia. I only have a few, but I really cherish them. The Framed art is a gift from my Husband for our First Christmas together. I added Vinyl for the “Adore Him” on the Mantel wall. So here is my Adore Him Mantel!
I used my “He is the Reason” Printable and my Shadow Box Nativity to top off the Mantel. You can find them Here and Here.
8 Maids of Milking
Washi Tape Ornaments
What you need:
Washi Tape (Michaels has great new festive tapes this season. Just ab out any Christmas color you can think of, even gold and silver)
Foam core ( I get mine at the dollar store)
Exact-o Knife
Modge Podge
Frame
Ribbon
Opt: Vinyl saying
I first took an old frame I had and covered the glass with white paper. Missed this picture but you can just imagine it.
Next I found some ornament shapes on the Internet and printed them. I flipped them wrong side up and covered the paper with washi tape. Then cut them out.
Take some modge podge and glue the ornaments to a piece of foam core. I got mine at the dollar store. Let the glue dry. Putting them on the foam core makes the jump off the page. Not so flat.
Once the glue is dry use an Exact-o knife and cut around the edge of the ornaments. To give my ornaments a little sparkle and texture I used glitter glue pens to dot the polka dots, and lines on the washi tape. It is hard to see in the pictures but in person they look great.
Once your ornaments are cut out, place them on your frame. I played a little with the placement until I liked it.
Add some ribbons for strings and bows with glue dots.
Once I got this far I thought I would be happy but I decided to add the Phrase Merry & Bright to my frame. I think it finished it off perfect!!! I just love how it turned out.
Rainbow Snow
I was thinking a few weeks ago with our first snow, it would be fun to have colored snow. So Little Miss and I headed out to the store for spray bottles. We came home and mixed each one with a few drops of food coloring and we were ready to go.
My kids had a blast with the colors. They can’t wait for it to snow again! Next time we will make a Snowman with my snowman kit.
Fall Mantel
I know I am a little late getting this post up. My Mantel has been falling behind. So many things to make and do for the holidays. Here is my simple Fall Mantel this year.
I used my Thankful trees from last year. My Free Fall Printable. A cute set of pilgrims and 2 stacked wicker pumpkins. I kept it simple and easy this year. I can’t believe it is already time to decorate for Christmas. This fall has gone by way to fast.
