Today's project uses some beautiful Melissa Frances products from the new Deck the Halls collection and 5th Avenue collection.
Melissa Frances appliques are used here and there along with glitter chipboard flowers, tinsel, and pom pom trim.
I used vintage book print and trims, and sweet findings that I've been collecting for a little while.
Memriemare German glass glitter stars, satin angel wings, Maya Road wooden spools and small crocheted doilies.
And, scrunched seam binding in Cranberry from My Craft Spot.

Enjoy your day!
