It's terribly dreary here today, it almost dampens the Christmas spirit...almost! My mother, sister, niece and I gathered yesterday to work on some of our holiday projects. While my mother made Christmas cards for the children, my sister worked on a banner and my niece spread holiday cheer throughout the house in the form of festive glitter! Not even the dogs were safe. I worked on more decorations for the holiday and a scrapbook page. I'm really cooking with the scrapbook, my daughter is now seven months old and I have three pages done, I've got some serious catching up to do.
Last week I had my husband cut some blocks from a 2 x 4 that had spent the summer outside getting weathered. Not on purpose either. We needed it for some project outside and it just never made it back to the garage. My initial plan was to paint the blocks white but once I saw them all faded and gray I had to just let them be.
I used the Cricut to cut the letters, snowflake and reindeer I love how they turned out especially against the beautiful blue walls and my makeshift runner. The runner is simply copy paper cut down to 8 1/2" square. I used a decorative punch on two sides and folded each piece diagonally.
