Tuesday afternoon and yesterday morning I finished working on my project for the Festival of Trees. I used the Be Merry Ornament kit from the holiday catalog.
I started with a pile that looked like this. Everything I needed to make the ornaments was in the kit except a hot glue gun, glue sticks, and Stampin' Dimensionals.
My tree is only 3 feet tall so I used one whole kit and half of another one.
I like it much better in the dark when the lights are twinkling, but then that is pretty much true of any Christmas tree.
I had gotten some red tinsel to put on it, but decided that was too messy so I made some garland out of white baker's twine, a 7/8" scalloped punch and the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
Here is a close up of each of the ornaments.
They are much prettier in person.
All in all I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. I am not a very good tree decorator . . . Julie and Hanna are much better at that . . . but I do really like the ornaments. I have six left over from the second kit and have something in mind for those as well!! Hope to post pictures of that soon.
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!
Happy Stamping!!
