Holiday Happiness


Much crafting this weekend! My stash of goodies from Layer Cake Shop has come in very handy! I made vintage inspired toppers for jars of "Reindeer Chow".

The red checked paper you see is just cupcake paper flattened and glued to the top of the jar.

I did a few in a 'snow globe' effect. I used 1/2 a plastic ornament from a craft store as the 'globe' on top. The I added a vintage image and some 'snow'!
 
How cute is that?
 
Here is the label I created. Feel free to use!
Happy Holidays!

I decided to tackle one of those chip board 'books' that you can find in the craft stores. I used some light blue chalk paint that I sealed with Mod Podge.
 
 
I couldn't resist trying one of Tim Holtz' new frames.
 I used hot glue instead of the foam attachment.
 
I decided to tuck in a gratitude quote on this summery thank you note. I am a little bit addicted to the paper flowers these days! If you can find real vintage ones, there are tons available at Wild Orchid Crafts.
 Happy Summer Crafting!

 Congratulations, Graduates!
I wanted to use a vintage image for this graduation card. Thanks to Pinterest, it didn't take me long to find the perfect one! I used paper posies to add a 3D element to some of the flowers, and super fine white glitter on the graduation cap.
One of the joys of spring!

Summertime Calendar

 I know I've been absent for awhile, Friends! I figured I'd better show up with something good!
 I made this calendar for a friend to celebrate summer.
 I got the idea for the format here.
 I like that it's practical - you can remove the pages for the individual months if you need to.
 You could even make a generic one and just change the
calendar pages.









I'm hoping she'll like it!


Hope you have some good summer inspiration going!
