winter frills...

It's Sunday night and all is quiet and everyone under my roof is safe and sound and loved and cared for.  It's been such a wonderful day!

I just have a minute but have a project to share with you created for Emma's Paperie.  We were challenged as design team members to create projects incorporating wood grain.  I used paper from Basic Grey's Aspen Frost collection that reminds me of my very most favorite tree, the aspen, and have found that this paper is going in my all-time favorite file.

I also used embellishments and accents from Melissa Frances such as the pink zipper trim, the darling broach, and the pink pouf tulle trim.

I pulled out my Lifestyle Crafts Letterpress and used them to embellish these craft tags just a bit and have tucked a few inside the Joy pocket.  This is such a fun tool to use...a good little item to add to your Christmas wish list.  I'm excited to get more use out of it and experiment a bit.  

All of the supplies used can be found HERE at Emma's Paperie.

I decided to make a Christmas crafting kit out of this and have added some glittered tags from Cavallini and Co., trim, tea stained fabric, tags, and other sparkly things just for fun.  

Feeling like it's time for Christmas sugar cookies and cinnamon rolls....Christmas is coming!

Night.
