Christmas Project #1: In Progress
On Saturday I had a chance to start working on one of my holiday projects while hanging out at Scrapbook Fever in Salem. This one, a Night Before Christmas card spinner, was a great one to work on during a crop because I only had to focus on one small area at a time. I am about half way done...
So what in the heck is it? The base is an Altered Trading Card holder from 7gypsies that you can find here. I used these cards and decorated the front and back of each one with some of my Christmas supply stash (a little bit of this + a little bit of that) and adhered a line or two from Twas the Night Before Christmas (googled it and printed out this one).
Here's a close up look at the ones I have completed so far (font for poem is Adler):
In addition to the cards I added in some transparent pages that I just cut to size.
Played around with red embossing glitter.
Fun project - totally something that you could work on bit by bit as we get closer to the holiday season. It's also a great way to play with all those little pieces of stuff in your holiday stash or your scrap box. I will show more samples as I finish it up.
Can't wait to have it completed and put it up with the rest of my holiday decorations right after Thanksgiving. Merry. Merry.

This is just too cute. I got two of these and hadn't decided what too do with the second one yet. I have a huge collection of halloween scraps so I may do that. As always thanks for the great inspiration!

Have always enjoyed your projects in C.K. magazine but now that I have found your blog I will get to see more great ideas. I think I will use this for Thanksgiving to show our blessings and things we are thankful for. Also just day to day for ways I see God at work in and around me. And then there's Valentines Day I could put in things I love and love about my family. This is cool. Thanks for the ideas! Do you read these posts? What a good place to come when you need encouragement!
