Swirlydoos 25 Tags of Christmas Tag #5 - Dangles"

Tag #5. Love this cute image from graphics fairy with the children having a snowball fight with the snowman! ribbon with beads dangling from stash.

Vintage Santa Placemats

I made these cute vintage Santa placemats for my kitchen table. They would also be really cute hanging on the wall or even used on a coffee table or accent table. I bought the 12" doilies and bouquets of gold and maroon flowers at the Dollar Tree. I printed the beautiful vintage Santa from the Graphics Fairy.blogspot.com and cut out the image and inked all the edges ever so lightly. I added stickles (glitter glue) in red, green, blue and yellow all over the doily, pulled apart some the the flowers and leaves and then laced a ribbon through a button.

I am linking this one up to Sugar Sweet Paper Treats-December anything goes; Cooking with cricut-Deck the halls and on Monday I will link this up to brag monday at Graphics Fairy.

No place I'd rather be

This layout is for the 11/26 sketch challenge going on over at stuckonusketches. I have absolutely loved the last two sketches by Ness. I did two of the last sketch and never got them uploaded to my blog. Between five other layouts, three cards and other projects going on and camera not cooperating, maybe I will get them posted some other time.
