Holiday Decor with S.e.i. ~

Hi, Connie here with a Holiday Decoration using the Pennant Kit from Sei.  It is perfect for the front door or the Christmas Tree, really a great gift also!  Let me show you~
 
Instructions~
 
I added some greenery, to the center of the cardboard pennant, and then decorated the greenery with die cuts from the Holiday Wishes/Glimmering Boughs Collection by S.e.i.  Once the greenery is decorated
attach the greenery branch to the cardboard pennant.  Punch a small hole on each side and wire (from the kit) to secure the greenery branch.
 
The cardboard pennant is decorated with die cuts from the Holiday Wishes/Glimmering Boughs Collection, also. Speckled with white acrylic paint to represent snow.

Welcoming all !!!

Club Q December Kit with Quick Quotes!

Hi, Connie  here with the December Club Q Kit by Quick Quotes.  I did three Christmas pages and enough scraps to make a vintage display piece.  The kit makes it easy to create beautiful pages and decorations.  First let me show you the double page~


Look at all those trees, the kit is full of them!!! Here is the other side of the
double page~


I did a page using the Folded Mini Book (Premier Altered Kit).  It looks great on a page too!!!
I was able to get six photos on the page.  




One more~ a decorative piece using a vintage Bingo Card with all the  left over bits
and pieces from the kit.

Try It Tuesday~vintage milk caps and snowmen!

Hi guys!
I have a BUNCH of vintage milk caps and I thought "let's make a snowman".
So I did~

I used products by A Jillian Vance Design and Darkroom Door.  I used hot glue to build the body of the snowman. Then added a felt hat and ribbon.  I'm going to use these on some special Christmas gifts.



And they were made using the vintage milk caps~
