Festive Greetings

Festive Greetings Everyone!!

   I haven't had much opportunity to get 'here' so..... Firstly, can I send out a big festive "Happy Holiday's" to you all. To all my friends travelling during this time, please take care and stay safe... xx   

Creatively, I have much to share but have not had much opportunity with so much going on.  I am here now (LOL), so we will kick things off with some of my recent creations for Prima.

First up, a little altered festive piece for the table. 



Materials
  • #553425 Holiday - Metal
  • #552091 Meredith -Merlin
  • #553456 Medley - Treasure
  • #550462 Trim - Gold
  • #547424 Precious Metals Col Gilded
I found the deer in a little decor shop down town.  He already came glittered and a small decoration around his neck.  To the mix, I added some Precious Metals - Gilded Leaves, Holiday- Metal Flowers and a touch of tulle.  Gold Trim and added bells adorn his belly.

  
The sleigh, I have had for a little while now. It usually sits on the table with sweets - though it tends to get empty rather quickly LOL.  

 I have also given it a little makeover to coordinate with the reindeer. A corsage of Prima Medley 'Treasure' and more Holiday - Metal Flowers, Precious Metals - Gilded Leaves and Tulle adorn the back of it.



Sitting in the sleigh, is also a hand made bauble decoration.


To create something similar, there is a step by step available on the Prima BLOG.

Patterned papers from the North Country collection have been incorporated in the creation of this.


Materials
  • #843304 North Country Col. Maine Meadow

Next, I have a layout to share.  
This was also created for the challenge blog - "Show Us Your Stuff", where I was featured as a December Guest Designer.  Thanks so much for the invitation and allowing me to play along.
