Happy Friday, sweet friends! I'm posting on the Live & Love Crafts blog today, where the DT has been sharing favorite occasions this week. It's time for more festivity because Christmas is my favorite everything. ♥︎
A dusting of snow with flecks of gold were added to most of the papers via Shabby White Frantage. A shabby 10mm Jingle Bell was used for the clapper, which is attached with Natural Hemp. A wintry breeze of Shabby Chiffon trim ruffles around the base, centered with Sunflower Pearl trim. The Cheery Lynn Designs poinsettia die is centered with Frosted Berries and surrounded with Flower Sprays and Pomegranate Apples (in Wine Pudding and Vanilla Cupcake). The snowflakes are also from Cheery Lynn.
The back is finished off with snowy trim and sweet Christmas birdies. ♥︎ I hope she enjoys it. :o)
Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful weekend. :o)

Showcasing the beautiful church from Pion Design's Christmas in Norway collection, I created a bell for my mom to hang from her Christmas tree or wherever she pleases. The church was cut out with a Spellbinders Standard Circle (small) and layered on a Picot Edge Circle. I paired it with papers from Maja Design's A Gift for You, as the red is such a lovely contrast and I adore the Christmas stars.
Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful weekend. :o)
