Christmas in the Air

Hi everyone!  Ahhh the joys of working retail during the holidays!  It means my blog posts have been few lately.....but I wanted to share some of the fun Christmas craft ideas I've been working on.

The above is a sneak of a home decor project using one of the fun DIY Wooden Pallets from
Clear Scraps. Want to see more?  HERE is the blog post with all the details.

Next up.....my last post was about a fall home decor frame....well here's the Christmas version
using the Blank Wood Card, stencils and chipboard embellishments from Clear Scraps.

Find all the details and supplies used to make this cute and simple project over on the Clear
Scraps blog right HERE.

And a great idea for a gift and card in one.....this Joy Shaker Card project.

It looks a little complicated, but I'll break it all down for you over on the Clear Scraps blog.
It's really just a modified easel card.....super fun and easy!

Thanks for stopping by today for a little Christmas cheer!  Hope you're inspired to get a head
start on Christmas next year!  You can find all the fun products to create and much more over
at the Clear Scraps store.  Make sure to stop over, you can find them HERE.

Happy Holidays everyone!  I'll have a fun New Year's project.

Fall Crafting and Home Decor

Well, in the last week we went from our week long fall into the start of winter here in the midwest!
Since fall is my favorite season....it's disappointing when it seems so short, so I'm going to keep fall crafting going, even if the weather is telling me different.....lol.

One item I recently created was this cute little frame project.....it's using some items from Clear Scraps, their Damask Stencil, and their Blank Wood Cards.

The best part, you can interchange these pieces to create a home decor piece that you can change with the seasons!  If you want to see how this one was created and a few more details, check out the Clear Scraps blog HERE.

Another item I crafted up using the Pumpkin Wood Shaker Album.....instead of an album (which is super cute too!) I used the album to create this fall home decor banner:

If you'd like to know how this one was created and a little more about it, check out the blog HERE.

then a touch of Distress Ink and Wink of Stella, creates the look of a glowing lantern.
