December...already?
I can't believe it is December. Where has the year gone? When I look back I guess we accomplished a lot, weathered trails, experienced life and hopefully learned a few things along the way. But I could use a couple more months before ushering out 2008.
I love December though...it's my birth month, my dad's birth month and Christmas time has always been a favorite. Now I can share all of that with my daughter! We drove around looking at lights together tonight and it brought back s many memories of times with my family when I was growing up. My mom was always ready for a drive in the car and we enjoyed many a well decorated house together.
On the scrapping front I got some exciting news on Monday. I will be published for the first time in the 12/6 issue of Scrapbook News and Review e-zine. To say I was excited when I got the email would be a gross understatement. :) And they chose one of my favorite layouts featuring Grammy's Pugs, Donatello, Ralphy and Suzy Q. Make sure to check out their website and subscribe to this fantastic e-zine!
Christmas will be full of homemade gifts this year and I am elbow deep in ornaments, altered items and trying to squeeze out a few layouts as well. My Christmas shopping has been pretty limited so far but I did get a bit done today and hope to finish things up this weekend. My tree needs to come in from the garage and I am going to have a second tree for the first time this year. I am pondering the decorating scheme but haven't decided what to do yet. So much to do...so little time!
May the peace and joy of the season be with all of you!

Paper Flower Ornaments
Paper Flower Ornaments Makes 6 ornaments Supplies Needed: 2 sheets of Basic Grey's Infuse- Breathe 1 sheet of Urban Lily - Just Add Color! Frolic pp 6 wooden clothespins (painted with olive green acrylic) Assorted inks or acrylic paints Stickles Hot glue gun 1) Cut out all the leaves, flowers and stamens. 2) Ink or paint the back of some of the cut outs (I used blue, gold, brown & green ink..whatever colors I had that looked like they would work.) 3) On the petals I would cut down farther than they were marked for some of them so I could get more shape when I curled them. 4) Cut out the Frolic petals and paint one side with a blend of red & pink liquid pearls. 5) Roll the cutouts around pens and smaller paintbrushes to curl. 6) Attach the biggest Basic Grey flower cut outs at the end where you would squeeze to open the clothespin with hot glue. 7) Start layering the rest of the petals to form the flowers. Squeeze the bottom of the Urban Lily cut out together so it fans out at the top and use the Basic Grey stamen shape in the middle. 8) Just bend, twist and shape the pieces to get the look you want. 9) I added in the leaves and the twists of birch bark (from my yard) at the end. Use Stickles to glitter them up. This is a pretty time consuming process but worth it! TFL!!! Leslie | |
