Decor Elements....take three!

Here is another take on making Christmas decorations with the Decor Elements.   I purchased a small shadowbox from IKEA, added a DE, some designer paper, bells, and a bit of ribbon!   It took me less than 20 minutes and I think it is awesome!

Here is my collection of the Hershey pull candy.   I think they make adorable stocking stuffers!    I had a blast making all of them; I think I did 14 in all.

Fun things to do with Decor Elements

What do you think of my new Christmas decoration?   Well, it might be mine if it doesn't sell at my craft fair this weekend.   I love it, so I won't be too sad if I end up stuck with it.   It's such a easy project that looks like it might have taken loads of time.  

Did you notice the ribbon?   It was some I scored in the Clearance Rack Blitz and it rocks!

 I finally finished off my tile coasters and got them all packaged up and ready to sell.   I think they turned out great!   I <3 Circle Circus!  

I made up a couple of card kits for the kids because I would hate to leave anyone out.  I love how they turned out and I am probably going to make up a few more before my next attempt at an event.   This project was one that was easier for boys than girls!   That rarely happens as I find masculine/boy things difficult to come up with, but this was so easy!

OMG! I love it!

When I saw this sticky note holder I HAD to make one for myself!   Isn't it adorable??   It is my new favorite project and I am totally keeping it for myself!  :)

It feels like forever since I sat down and made a card and today is no different!  I tried this tutorial today and here is what I came up with.   They have to dry for a while so I can't embellish them with some ribbon until tomorrow.   I don't think I'll get all the glue off my hands before then either.  :)     Not sure if I love them yet, but they might grow on me.  :)  

Projects from the past few days....

 Sorry about the bad pictures.   I worked pretty much all of the daylight hours today and didn't have any sunlight to help with the photos.    How cute is this snowman Tic Tac holder?   Love it!

 I made up a couple of sets of my lunch box notes using Fox & Friends.   Can you imagine the look on a child's face when they open up their lunch box and find a cute card from mom or dad?    Priceless!   Having been though the loss of a child and looking at the prospect of not being a parent again,  I know how important it is that your child knows how loved and appreciated they are.   Be sure you take a minute to tell them today...and tomorrow...and every day!

Here are a couple more tea bag holders that I made up this week.   Very cute stocking stuffer or gift to go along with a gift card.  

Fancy favor boxes make adorable hostess gifts!   I filled this fall-themed one with some yummy chocolate!
