I'm one of these people who dig my feet into the ground when it comes to making Christmas cards early. I would prefer to enjoy the current holiday of the month rather than make the Christmas season three months long. Certainly I would become tired of Christmas if I start this early, yes?
But I can't deny this is the most popular season for which to paper craft, so I guess I must try to embrace it. To encourage myself, I'll play along with the "Countdown to Christmas",
attempting to post a Christmas-related project every week up to the big day. And I've already missed a week (Doh!). Anywho, drum roll please... we officially kick of the Countdown to Christmas with 11 weeks to go...
Here is a great idea for all those spare pieces of ribbon you've collected.
I've used the Holiday Collection framelits to die-cut the tree shape, and then filled the negative space with small pieces of ribbon scraps.
Layout inspiration comes from Fab Friday Challenge #3.
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes; Paper: Gumball Green, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Snow Festival DSP, Naturals Composition Specialty DSP; Ink: Chocolate Chip; Accessories: Cherry Cobbler baker's twine, Miscellaneous spare ribbon, Perfect Polka Dot EF, Holiday Collection framelits, Bitty Banners framelits, Big Shot, Sewing machine, Thread, Dimensionals.
Thanks for stopping by!
