I love Christmas, at least I love decorating my home for Christmas. Last year when everything went on sale after the holidays, I purchased a new green tree (we usually have a white one). I decorated it with blue, pink, purple, green, and silver ornaments and silver beads and a big silver bow and star at the top. I really love how it turned out and look forward to coming home to turn the lights on everyday. Makes me happy!

This past year, I have had a lot of fun creating door wreaths for my front door. I have never lived in a neighborhood where I wanted to decorate my front porch like I do at our house in Cedar Park. This style of wreath is one of the easiest I have ever made; anyone can do it.
Materials Used: 4 large rolls of ribbon (Black sparkle) Embellishments, these are from Michaels (Boo, spiders, orange glitter sticks, pumpkin) 12 in Embroidery hoop To make this:
I have had a lot of fun decorating my new house. My kitchen/dinning room is done in Grey, Yellow, and White. I love the color combination, and already had a lot of items to hang on the walls. In my new house, I found that I have more wall space than I had in my old house, so I decided to make some new things to add more color. I found some big canvas' on sale at Hobby Lobby, then cut out the words "You Are My Sunshine" using my cricut and some vinyl. Next, I taped off the sun and rays using some washi tape and painted them yellow. Then I used the negative space as stencils to paint the words grey. Once it all dried, I removed all the tape/washi tape...then it was put up on my wall. I really love how it turned out and am looking forward to making more.
I hope you enjoy looking at our crafty goodness. Please leave us a comment to tell us what you think. My son, Dallas, especially likes to read the comments...so send him some love.
Materials Used: Lawn Fawn: Milk and Cookies Stamp Set, Stitched Circle Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Staz On Black, Stamps of Life Strawberry Ink Paper: Forever in Time, Perfect Prints (Stars & Fruit) 6X6 paper pad; Kraft Cardstock, white cardstock Other: Spectrum Noir Markers, Ranger Alcohol Inks, White Gelly Roll Pen, Clear Wink of Stella Pen, The stamp sets on the eggs were just a mixture of old stamps I had around my craft room, sorry I can't tell you the maker. Challenges Entered: If You Give a Crafter A Cookie Cute Card Thursday Cards 4 Galz A good friend of mine asked me to make a banner for a bridal shower that she was helping to plan. She wanted a banner that said "Soon To Be Mrs. Gulley," clean, simple, and elegant. I cut the banner in white cardstock, using Craft Room Basics. I used a rounded corner square, then added a small circle in each corner, so that they would all match. There is nothing worse than trying to line up the holes using a hole punch. Next I cut the letters and the heart (in pink sparkle paper) using Plantin Schoolbook, and embossed them using a Damask Darice embossing folder. Then it was as easy as attaching everything together and stringing it all using a black satin ribbon. Come to find out, I forgot the E in Gulley, so I had to come back and make another, but that was easy enough since I had saved the file in Craft Room. Materials Used:
Cricut: Plantin Schoolbook & Craft Room Basics Cuttlebug: Damask Darice Embossing Folder Paper: DCWV the glitter cardstock stack & Recollections cardstock Ribbon: Black Satin Ribbon (don't remember where I bought it, but it was prob. Jo Ann's or Michaels) Challenges Entered: Hiding In My Craft Room Paper Playtime Frosted Designs My Craft Spot It's challenge time over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! This week we are each challenged to create a project, using at least one Cricut cut, that has sparkle and bling. This challenge was really easy for me, as I love sparkle and bling, and think that any project benefits from a bit of shine.
