You Are My Sunshine...

I received the most wonderful email today. I've been asked to join the Super Nova Design Team at Paper Craft Planet. This amazing site is full of tutorials, challenges, sketches, forums, and some of the most amazing talent in the universe. Hop on over and join in on the fun HERE.

I wanted to share a few of the Christmas projects I've been working on this week. I just love how this Festive Shadow Box turned out. I used a shadow box by Darice, patterned papers by Webster's Pages, jeweled sentiment by Making Memories, and ribbon. The beautiful jeweled flower is a piece of vintage jewelry. I have jars of antique jewelry that I have collected. They make such a wonderful addition to any project.



This little beauty is what I call a Christmas Chunkie. I use chunks of wood (thank you, hubby) to create decorative pieces. This chunk of wood measures 4.5" x5". I painted it red, lightly sanded the edges, and adhered some of my favorite elements: patterned paper by Making Memories, a beautiful vintage postcard, metal sentiment by Making Memories, punch by Fiskars, decorative scissors by Emagination, distress ink by Ranger, vintage dictionary pages, ribbon, and antique jewelry.


This sweet postcard reminds me of a little girl finding a pony from Santa on Christmas morning.



Well, I'm off to finish some gift calendars and glittery ornaments. Have a wonderful winter evening!

Congratulations Keely!! The Planet is the best place in the Universe and the other Super Novas are AMAZING - some of my best friends in the world. Seriously, you are joining the most wonderful family. I know you're excited, but I don't think you really realize that the REAL gift is the friendship you will form with these women in the months to come - cherish it. They have been my rock the past few years and I owe them SO MUCH! Give them my love and be good to them! Now go knock everyone's socks off! And ENJOY this! It's AWESOME!!
