Christmas Decor

Hi and Happy Saturday :) I know that Christmas has come and gone, but before all the decorations get put away, I wanted to share the festive feel that we had at work. Here are some pictures of our little Christmas decorations that we had to fill our work days with Holiday spirit.

I was so excited when I saw this Elf Hello Kitty and I knew I had to bring her to work! And she even lights up! I also brought a couple of wreaths that I made using some SU fabric that I got from the Clearance Rack. Click here to do some clearance rack shopping. There are some items up to 80% off!

And this tray was set out with some Holiday goodies but knowing the folks in my department, they sure don't last long! hehehe.

And here is our cute little Christmas tree. I love how it lights up and the tiny ornaments are adorable! I even made some gift boxes to go under the Christmas tree. And we spread out some pine cones to add some Holiday wintery forest feel.

And look! No one found coal in their stockings :) Guess we were all good this year! ;)

And how adorable is this gingerbread man?!?! But why did I think of grabbing a scallop punch so that we could punch his little foot to make it look like someone took a bite? Kinda like one of the cards from our Holiday Soiree stamp camp! Click here to check it out.

Now look at this cute wreath covered with candy! I must confess, I was the one who took most of the Werther's Original Caramel candy. hehehe. So yummy! My friend Jennifer made this wreath for all of us to enjoy and check out her AMAZING Minnie Mouse wreath here. It's so dang adorable!!!! She is so talented :)

Okie dokie, thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!!

Felt Flowers Wreath

Hello! I know that I've shared a TON of wreaths lately, but I have to share another one with you guys. This wreath was made by my friend Juliana. Isn't it oh so adorable?!?! The red and white striped ribbon is so cute and those felt flowers are awesome!!

Here are some close up shots of those felt flowers. I really need to learn how to make those! They look like so much fun, don't they?

You should hop on over to studio julz to check out some of Juliana's other creative projects. She's a very crafty gal :)

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your week!!

Lovely Ribbon Wreaths

Happy Friday everyone! Here are a couple more wreaths for you today. Lynne and Charlene did such a wonderful job on these lovely ribbon wreaths. The burgundy and gold wreath is Lynne's and when she busted out the fabric she used to wrap the wreath, we were all shocked that she was ripping it apart because it was so pretty! But look at her wreath... so worth it :)

And here is Charlene's wreath. Love how the ribbon swirls all around the wreath. And the stripes on the ribbon is a pretty pattern to add to the swirly affect. She also wrapped the wreath in burlap. I have several yards of burlap just sitting around, waiting to become a part of a project. Maybe I should try something out this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day :)

Red Ribbon Wreath

Hello everyone! Here is the wreath that my friend Jenevene made. I sorta helped out with the vision of the wreath but she took it to a whole new level :) That girl can be pretty creative when she wants to be ;) hehe. At first, she just wanted to watch or have someone make a wreath for her, but when I showed her what to do, she totally rolled with it!

She wrapped the entire wreath with that pretty glittery red ribbon. Then I helped by adding some fresh leaves from the pile that Charlene brought from an actual Christmas tree, which made the wreath smell so nice! After, I showed Jenevene how to adhere the leaves to the wreath then suggested to put a bow in the middle and she totally went to town with the bow! So pretty :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

White Christmas Wreath

Hey everyone! Here is another beautiful wreath from last week's wreath making party. My friend Marita created this oh so elegant wreath. Isn't it so pretty?!?! This wreath reminds me of a beautiful white Christmas. Even though I'm a California girl, I've watched enough movies and TV shows to have a picture of what a white Christmas could look like ;) Anyhoo, the stuff that Marita comes up with are amazing! Hop on over to MadeByRitz by clicking here to check out all her other super creative and fancy projects.

She used this folding technique that I've been wanting to try out for awhile now. And when she showed me how to do it, I was inspired again to try it out! And look at that string of pearls, those white bobbles and that satin bow. So elegant and fancy :) This girl is so talented that she finished this wreath in the dark. There was a moment in time when a head band light was invovled, but it didn't last too long. I almost took a picture of Marita wearing it, but do you see the light shining in the background, behind the wreath? That's as close I got to taking a picture of it. hehehe.

Stay tuned for more projects from the wreath making party. Because there's more to come!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)

Minnie Mouse Wreath

Hello! Here is a wreath that my friend Jennifer made. It's Minnie Mouse! Isn't it so dang adorable!!!???!!! She is super creative! I really have to try and case this project. When she told me what she was going to make, I was so super excited and I love how it turned out! 

I tried to take another pic to show a different angle of the wreath, but it kinda looks the same, huh? hehe. Oh well, it's so cute that I had to take another picture :) That black fabric with the white polkadots and that red bow are perfect for a Minnie Mouse wreath, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day :)

Large Christmas Wreath

Hello! Here is another Christmas wreath. This one is a larger one. I went simple and didn't add too much deco on the wreath. I used the Deck The Halls Designer Fabric (121716) again because at 99 cents a box, I couldn't help but snap up a few :) This time, I wrapped the wreath with the darker pattern that is mainly Always Artichoke.

 And here are a couple of pictures of the two bows. I just took a couple strips and tied them then glued them onto the wreath. So easy and so fun! I can't wait to make more :D

 Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!!

Christmas Wreath

Hi! So, my friend is hosting a wreath making party later this week and this is me being very super excited! I started playing around with a wreath and this is what I came up with so far. It is still a work in progress and who knows what I end up with, but I thought I would play around a bit and get prepped for the party.

I used the Deck The Halls Designer Fabric (121716) for this wreath. Since there are three kinds of patterns, I used a different one for each of the wreath elements. I used the Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla pattern to wrap all around the wreath. And I used the Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake pattern for the leaves. And I used the other pattern for the flowers.

To cut out the leaves, I used the Autumn Accents Bigz Die (127812) and to cut out the flowers, I used the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die (121812). I also added a couple Cherry Cobbler buttons from the Regals Designer Buttons pack (119744)

I am SO looking forward to my friend's wreath making party! I can't wait to hang out with the gals, catch up, take turns holding her new baby, get crafty, get our drink on and eat yummy food :) I'll also share the different wreaths that these ladies come up with so come back and visit to check them out!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
