Christmas Creations

I've been working on creating some things to be displayed as my local scrapbook store. This idea came to me immediately when I saw the plain red IKEA frame. I've been wanting to use my new Santa stamp so I found a cute leather strap with a buckle and an acetate overlay with red numbers (in the clearance section- yay me!) to go with it. A quick coat of white paint, some black ink and there you go. Oh and I do believe in Santa Claus! ;)

I created these two layouts with Melissa Frances papers and die cuts, and buttons from October Afternoon. It seems this year the Christmas color palette is very compatable between companies.

 

For this little tree I found a half roll of ribbon cording at the thrift store for 50 cents! Great deal seeing I used 5 yds to wrap the styrofoam cone. I strung some more of the buttons from October Afternoon on a piece of twine to create a garland. I simply love the unconventional colors for this little tree. So fun!
