Hi everyone! I just wanted to share some ornaments and a card that I did with some Crate Paper leftovers from last year’s line. I took these ornaments apart last year because I wasn’t happy with the way that I had finished them. Previously they were just painted gold with some red and green stripes. A bit dull for my tastes now. I have had these two ornaments on my craft table for almost a year now and finally got them completed. It took me about 10 minutes to finish them! LOL! I guess that I just had to be the in the right mood to do it. (insert clapping here!)
I have a 4 X 4 inch ornament on my tree for each of my children’s baby photos. This one is my son’s.
Supplies: Wood frame ornament by Michael’s, patterned Papers and chipboard by Crate Paper, rhinestones by My Mind’s Eye, stickers by Crate Paper and Lily Bee Designs, ribbon by May Arts, twine by The Twinery, paint by Golden, adhesives by Helmar.
Here is my oldest daughter’s ornament.

I also created this card with the Crate Paper leftovers. I love how the Ormolu SVG file turned out cut into the wood grain paper against the white background. It really pops out, doesn’t it?

Paper Issues and Reminisce are giving away a lovely Reminisce paper and embellishment pack. These are perfect for those last minute holiday projects! If you are shopping for paper crafting and scrapbooking products, you can get 20% off of your purchase at Paper Issues on Etsy by using my discount code, SCRAPSATION. I highly recommend shopping with Paper Issues. Shipping is fast and super affordable! Unlike a lot of other online retailers, Paper Issues shipping costs are at actual cost. I don’t know about you, but it drives me nuts when I want to buy a $10 item and the store wants $15 to ship it to me!
