Handmade Christmas Tree Decorations

I decided to give a try at making a cute hand crafted Christmas tree. I'm not really sure where the idea came from but during a long winded trip to Michael's and finding Styrofoam cones on the shelf, it came to me. 

The Tree on the Right is made from Yarn and wound up to the top. I love the sparkles. The cross is obviously a charm I found in the jewelry making section, just need to clip the top silver band off. 

The red & purple trees I have a few more pictures how to make it which I will post next.

My most favorite part of making these tree's is when my Godson who is 8 years old, told me " Nannie, I really like the decorations on the table, they are really nice." (He was referring to my red & yarn tree's, I gave the purple mini tree to a friend) My heart melted, what a sweet, kind, & loving child!

Can't wait to make more!

Christmas ornament high school mascot - Silhouette cameo vinyl project

We have a few firsts & lasts this year at school. My oldest girl is a Senior, and the other two kids are Freshman, all in high school. I had to mark this momentous time in our lives. Of course, I love that my silhouette helps with all my creative needs. I picked ornaments according to each kid's high school mascot. Yes, they are at two different schools...lol

This was super simple & quick. Measure area on ornament to be labeled. Type info in silhouette & cut out in vinyl. Use transfer tape & apply to ornament. Done!

Serious crafter sign - Silhouette cameo project

Yup, I'm paper crafting again.

One of my best friends love crafting & scrapping, so much so, she built a building behind her house for all her crafting stuff. I figured she might need some new decor, something she can chuckle about and a warning for all that enter...lol!

Pageant Embroidered Princess Sash

I got the privelage of embroidering this gorgeous handmade white satin sash for a church youth group event. I feel truly  honored to have assisted in crafting something for this beautiful girl on her special day. She sure does look like a Princess.
