Since I had to change my plan, I decided to show you some Christmas projects. Christmas is my absolute favorite time to craft. Whether it be sewing, altering, embroidery or papercrafting, I really enjoy making each gift personalized for the special someone. That's what's so cool about making your gifts - it is totally made for them right down to the card to match. Right?
Here are some pictures of gifts I made for teachers', friends, family and secret sister gifts. They loved them and it was so cool reading/hearing their reactions when they got it. It's the best part. Anyway, here are some Christmas ornaments - clear glass balls and Christmas angels, and a very special angel too:)
The images are stamped on acetate, colored from back side and then cut to the shape of the glass ball but a little smaller, roll up and slip in to the bulb. Then add embellishments. Aren't they awesome. The box I made for the penguin holds the penguin up from the ribbon to the top of the lid.
And my Christmas angels (lots of colors):
This one was for my Christmas secret sister (she's all white):
And this one is the "special" angel. Some of you may know that my Mother passed away at a young age - she was 29. I was 10. So when I saw these angels, I thought that I could make a special angel for our tree in memory of Mom. Isn't it pretty, looks awesome on the tree too.
I've decided that I am going to make some more without the Christmas embellishments, and then they can hang them in their windows, from a rearview mirror, or anywhere they choose. Have the same color options and personalize if they want to send to someone special they are thinking of. Whatcha' think? I love the idea.
Okay that's it for tonite. A little later than I expected but I got it done. Sorry for the long post again, but I promise they will get shorter:) Don't forget to pop back tomorrow to see my beautiful little model:)
To all my "sisters" visiting me, Thanks!! Love ya guys,
Sweet dreams
