~*~ Holiday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop.


I made a couple of things to share with you today.

I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone.  As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape.  At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone. 
Supplies:
Styrofoam cone
Pearl Floral Pins
CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper
CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper
D1320 Shining Star Stamps


I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason.  I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one.  


Supplies:
Styrofoam Cone
CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers
K& Co paper
D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps



I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel!  The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25.  I changed the colors to match CTMH colors and the rest of my decorations, then printed and framed. The "JOYFUL" decoration was created by me- check it out HERE.  
My grandmother made the stockings for me 3 years ago, to match Pottery Barn Kids ones.
Do you see our ELF???  He wanted to help out too!
VOILA!

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)
