Paper Snowflake Art

Remember THIS paper patch?  

Well I wanted to make another one that would last through the winter, not just Christmas. 

Here's what I came up with...

 

I used some music sheets for a few of the snowflakes.  

For the rest I used different shades of blue papers.

 Perfect project for tonight...we are getting lots of snow right now!

Crafting with music pages

What can you do with Christmas music pages?  Like book pages, they're just so inspiring!  Here's what I've made so far with my stack of pretty music pages...

Make some pretty little birds for embellishing gift packages...

decoupage some glass ball ornaments for gift giving...

I think I might use some of the music pages to make tags or scrapbook pages.  

ahhh, I love creating.  On rough or sad days creating something pretty somehow takes the edge off.  Of course a little slobbery kiss from one of the munchkins does the same.  Life is good when you are surrounded by pretty little things and cute munchkins.   

Hope you have a happy Thursday full of pretty little things and slobbery kisses!

I'm giving away a holiday mini album!

December Layout Decor

I'm loving all the great ideas at the catwalk this week!  It's still open, so you still have time to link up and check out all the inspiring ideas!

In the meantime, I've finished my December layout.  I've been making a scrapbook page each month.  I put them in a frame and use them as decor during the month, and then I use them for our family scrapbook when that month is over.   Find the October one HERE and November HERE.

 

 

I've been going with the square theme for each of them.  Using that format allows me to use a lot of different papers and embellishments on one page.  And we all know the embellishments are the best part : )
