I just can't seem to get enough of the Christmas spirit this year! I'm digging through all of my supplies looking for anything that celebrates the season. Finding stamps I haven't used in ages, a jar full of bells (where did they come from?), sparkly rhinestones and glittery papers. I know it's weeks away but my family celebrates early so I am already in the mood for warm fires, Christmas carols, wraps and bows. Here are a couple of festive projects that I hope put you in the Christmas spirit too!
I'm working on a crocheted Christmas tree that I hope turns out as planned. If it does, I'll be using it soon and will be sure to point it out in my posting. "50 Pineapple Crochet Motifs" is a fabulous book full of patterns perfect for small projects such as these! Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting!
It's hard to get into the Christmas spirit with our weekend temps in the 60's, but your cards are pushing me in that direction Joanne! I love your jingle bell theme on your first card and the second is just so festive! Great work as always ;)
ReplyDeleteStunning cards Joanne. It's very warm down here in Australia so doesn't feel at all like Christmas just yet. I so look forward to seeing your crochet Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous. I love all the different elements you've combined in both cards.
ReplyDeleteThey are simply gorgeous.....love the jingle all the way sentiment! Your vintage santa is gorgeous too. Love the nostalgic feel of him. We have lots of snow here so it already seems like Christmas1 cherry
