Sweet Shabby Christmas!

Sweet Shabby Christmas!

 



 

 

Hi Friends!

 

How are you?  I'm doing well here after having had

a wonderful birthday weekend!  I got together with

one of my crafty friends and made Christmas cards

yesterday.  She took me to lunch to a quaint sweet

little coffee shop here in town.  I had the best

chicken salad sandwich, soup, and mocha coffee...

yummm!  We then met up with some family for

dinner since my nephew has his birthday on the

same day and had more fun!  I'm happy dancing

here because next week I'm on vacation...yeah!

We may go to Amish Country for a day or two. 

I always look forward to seeing the crafts and

super delicious food!

 

OK, anyways about my sweet shabby Christmas

project.  This little gem was sooo fun to make. 

And, I'm very happy how it turned out.  I am

guest designer this month for The Shabby Tea Room.

The challenge calls for one to make a project that

includes shimmer or glitter and to make it shabby.

Here is the gorgeous photo inspiration to follow...

 

I placed lots of yummy layers with felt and doilies

for the focal point.  A silver doily cut and placed

behind the lovely resin tree.  Yummy seam binding

ribbon, a sparkly gem brad to finish off the focal

point.  Snowflakes were embossed with sparkly

white fine powder.  The highlight was placing

the pom pom trim and glitter trim around the lid.

To finish off the  star lid, I placed pieces of a doily

with buttons in the corners.  I so loved making this

project that I just might make another one!

 

 

So, please stop over at The Shabby Tea Room to

see what the amazing design team created for

this Sweet Shabby Christmas challenge!  Join

in on the fun, because we would love to see

your amazing project!  Thanks so much for

dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!
