Christmas Sign

Many store bought items can easily be upgraded with a little something special. This is a super easy Holiday decoration.  Just use Red Dew Drops to make the cutest berries on any Christmas Project.  Keep an eye out for discounted holiday decorations that you can take from ordinary to extraordinary with the addition of some dimensional & shiny Dew Drops. The step by step directions can be found on the Robin's Nest Blog HERE.

Red Dew Drops come in transparent, as well as, metallic. The metallic red ones are especially eye catching to embellish holiday items.  Don't forget Valentine's Day will be coming around the corner and those would also be perfect for your Love themed creations.

Beautiful Wreath Card

This is my first attempt with flocking.  The look it creates is remarkably life like. The only downside is it's a bit messy so containment is the key to success. Working in the lid of a box or a large tray will make clean up easier.  This makes it a simple process to return the little bits of flocking that didn't stick to the glue back into the jar so none is wasted.  Be sure to use a tacky drying glue like ScraPerfect's - Best Glue Ever rather than a standard wet glue.

Christmas Day

Christmas Day seemed like the perfect day to feature the theme for "Beginnings" as it is the day to celebrate the birth of Christ.  The large 25 chipboard title was heat embossed.  I was also inspired by the cream background and Christmas theme.  Notice that the striped border is washi tape that has been carefully applied along the edge and folded over to the back side. The thin bracket frame was stamped onto acetate to highlight the photo.  I also added a few red & gold Dew Drops.

I Believe in Santa Layout

I love how even though the page has a lot going on, the photos are still the focus. Using a tan background paper with a subtle snowflake didn't overpower the photos.  The striped candy cane border and matting tied the whole page together. I even added a kinetic element as i turned 2 of the smaller photos into hanging ornaments.  I was inspired by the limited color palette of tan & white, as well as, the ornaments.
