Sweet and Simple Christmas Goodies

  Welcome paper lovers, thank you for stopping by. Today I have three sweet simple Christmas decorations/ornaments. I have listed all three projects on Ebay here is the link for this one. 

      For the first two I used some Laughing Cow cheese packages. I removed the labels and had a nice chipboard container, ready to decorate.

  I used some My Mind's Eye scrapbook paper. The Lost and Found Two line. This is great quality paper. Very luxurious. All the paper for these three projects was purchased at Paper Daisies. 

 I cut the angel diecut with my Cricut using the Joys of the Season cartridge. Inside are two small paper ornaments that I diecut with my Cricut from the Joys of the Season cartridge. I cut some tiny angels and added some glittery snowflakes to the ornament.

Below a closeup up of the ornaments.

  The ornaments open up like cards so you can add some photos that will personalize them.

Below is a shot of the back of the ornaments.

  I wrapped the container up in a cellophane bag and some curly gold ribbon. 

 The next project up is an Our First Married Christmas decoration. Same concept, I used another laughing Cow Cheese Container. Click here to check out the Ebay listing for this next project.

   A peek inside of the ornament.

   Looks a little plain right now, but add a couple of pictures and it's a family treasure.

This one is all wrapped up for some lucky newlyweds.

 Finally my last project for today, a mini Christmas album. I love the retro feel of this mini album and the colors of the paper too. Click here for the Ebay listing for this project.

  I used a large 2" keyring to bind these ornaments together. Then I tied some ribbon to the keyring to add some frill. On my blog frill is a real word : ). I LOVE my new silver antique glass pumpkin I got at Kohl's. It was on clearance, I had Kohl's cash and a coupon, I just paid a few dollars for it!!! It will definitely be a favorite for me for many years and I love that it works for Halloween and Thanksgiving.....I could probably use it at Christmas too!!

 Back to the project, on each "page" I added mini frames for mini pictures. I glue gunned some buttons and ribbon to add cuteness.

 This decoration/mini album looks cute hung up on a hook or you could use it as a brag book at work for the holidays. You could also just lay it on the coffee table for everyone to enjoy.

 A quick picture of our puppy Dexter, he is almost 9mths old now!! This is a shot of him at the dog park. He loves it there, he found this toy hamburger there, no way was he giving it up!! 

  Are the holidays on your mind....if you're a crafter they are!! Let me know what projects, plans or recipes you are working on.   Thank you for stopping by and have a great day! Lori
