It's been such a wonderful few days as we've been on the road a bit to spend time with my family and then returned home to enjoy my husband's family. Lots of time with those we love, playtime with cousins including sleepovers, finger nail polish on 30 tiny fingertips, lunch together, time outside, time relaxing, and believe it or not...not an ounce of shopping. Totally my speed.
These first couple of cards were created for Emma's Paperie and are based on a beautiful color challenge you can find on the blog.
I spun the color combination into a couple of cards with a holiday theme. I used some beautiful Graphic 45 papers, Echo Park chipboard, and lots of other toppings. You can find a complete supply list here on the Emma's Paperie blog.
Next is a peek at a new project kit I created for Frost it Pink...just in time to countdown to Christmas.
The kit involves an embellished chalkboard covered in sweet patterns, holiday colors, glitter, and bling, where you and the littles can keep track of how many days 'til Santa comes.
Lots of lovely and unique items are included and the entire project comes together super quickly.
It will be available HERE at Frost it Pink soon and I'll be sure to let you know when.
Lastly...just a couple more Christmas items for you that I'll be putting in my etsy shop shortly. I wanted to try a holiday twist on my Shabby Owl.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting.

Oh so sweet! Love these! The embellishments on the Christmas countdown are beautiful. Love the holiday twist on the owl. I stayed in this weekend and decorated our home for the holidays as well as actually making some snowflake ornaments. Totally relaxing and simple couple of days!
