Creamy Christmas...

 These little trees are so fun and easy to make from a simple cone base.  I couldn't resist making one in my favorite holiday colors....not the colors you'll find in my house....but in my dreams :)   I saw a tree decorated with letters the other day and was inspired to add some glittered, chipboard alphabet letters to this tree.      Lots of beautiful Melissa Frances goodies on here including paper, glitter chipboard, Mica Flakes, adhesive pearls, and cardstock sticker.  The trinket pins are from Maya Road and the flowers and trims are from the craft store.

   This card uses vintage images from Crafty Secrets, B. Shackman, and K&Co. , paper from My Mind's Eye, and Melissa Frances, cardstock, ribbon, and button from Papertrey Ink.

And lastly...more creamy wishes for you...     More sweet images from Crafty Secrets used here along with K&Co. and Making Memories stickers, paper, gems, and glitter from Melissa Frances, and Papertrey Ink stamp sets including Background Basics:  Diamonds and Holiday Tree.  

I've got to run but will be back to post all of these in my etsy shop later today.

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry, merry :)

I have boots like this in red, pink and bright green. I'm wearing the green ones today. I LOVE them and they are comfortable. Hope you get a pair for Christmas.

[Kerri Norrod.]

I love the boots you found for your daughter. Where did you find them? Could you post a link to the store of the boots? Love the cards you made.

Your creativity knows no bounds. That Christmas tree is gorgeous. The cards are fantastic too. Wish I still had a little girl to buy fun things for. My baby girl is 26 years old. Enjoy these precious times.

Hope you are enjoying these first few days of December, always my favorite...the days leading up to Christmas!
Such the cute boots! Have to check them out for myself, as I'm such a cowgirl boot girl! My little one even has some, thanks to the boys department at WalMart! :)
Merry, merry! Elizabeth Jensen

you did it again, Melis...you've outdone yourself when I didn't think it was possible to see another gorgeous card...and the tree - wow!! I'm sure Santa will put these boots under your tree for you and the Bean...
thanks for your inspiration :)

I must say that you are truly talented and a special gift from God. I love your work so much. Gotta say those boots rock! My little 4 y/o would look adorable. I'm starting my savings account now! Debbie

i made a tree this year out of a cone and buttons! i used the pink,hibiscus and cream buttons from PTI. a friend sent me a million straight pins with little pearls on the end..this tree is sooooo cute!! i vote for the pink boots for your daughter!! girly but functional!! thank you for your blog..it is one of the first that i go to every morning..thank you for sharing

[Joy Winton]

My phat baby boots are more comfortable than my tennis shoes, you will love them!

[Tammy D]

Absolutely love the tree, so lovely. And the boots are too cute. I wonder if my DD would like those???

[Melissa Sauls]

That tree is just drop-dead gorgeous!! Absolutely love it! I think I tried to make a comment last night but it didn't go through. :( Would love to know where you buy your flowers. I've scaled my craft stores to no avail! Those boots are toooo cute looking!

[Paula C]

I too love my boots...Ariat is about as comfortable as you can get...and remember typically the top part of the boot is covered by the pants, so you might not get to see the cute camo...
Love all your creations...they are truly fab!

[Heidi Sonboul]

you make beautiful things. So super pretty!

[Keely Yowler]

Your tree is absolutely beautiful! I have 2 of those foams trees just waiting to be decorated. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Becky G.]

I am so going to steal the lace tree idea! I have 4 yards of hand tatted lace in 2 different patterns that I bought at an estate sale a while back, but haven't had the heart to cut any of it. I could make this tree, use pearl tipped florist pins to pin it onto the cone, and have a gorgeous tree for the center of my dining table. Thanks so much for the idea! Becky G.

[Eva Marie Evey]

I found your blog in my new magazine/book I picked up this week...the Artful Blogger. I read it from cover to cover in a couple of days. I didn't even know this world existed! You make beatiful things that make me feel happy and nostalgic when I look at them. I'll be visiting again to see more! Eva Marie
