~Creating Keepsakes Ornaments W/Clear Scraps & Authentique~

Good morning my friends, 

Yes I am still making ornaments for fun and for my family this year.

It seems I am always up to something, yesterday I managed to sew

4 pairs of pajama pants for a gift and today I am hoping to finish #5. 

I created this ornament using the Clear Scraps Bell Mini Album

and the beautiful Authentique papers. I did this because all week

Clear Scraps is sharing projects using Authentique so I thought I 

would join in the fun on my own blog! I love this paper!

On the back I used the acrylic and just popped up some 

glitter with a pearl pen. Just highlighting the paper design. 

I have always loved bells and this makes me smile,

all the vintage style feel, perfect for my tree! :) 

Oh and I tried that super strong E6000 glue on the edges, 

love it! I think this will totally last a long time!

That's it for me today, my hands are full with the in laws and kids...

also I have to finish these Christmas gifts...wish me luck!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you all for being amazing people in my life~

~The First Samantha Walker Blog Hop!

Good morning my amazing friends, if you have arrived here this morning

you have arrived at the very first Samantha Walker Designs BLOG HOP!

I am #2 on the list....the first stop is the ever famous

Samantha Walker of course!

This is a fun blog hop with the new Creative Team.

I am so blessed to be a part of.

Today I made a special project and a full video tutorial.

My project is hand made garland but it's not just garland

it is also a Christmas Card Holder.

In my house we are having a "Country Christmas" theme this year

so I wanted many of the decorations to be handmade, you know

the usual but with a Pinky POP, so I came up with this idea.

Each tree has a clothespin on the back for handing your Christmas cards

It was so fun to make, I made it with the boys, they LOVED it!

Everything from the garland to the cards are from the Samantha Walker lines

she has everything from fabric to paper and they all seem to flow together

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did making it.

Here is a full step by step video on how to make your own! :)
