Christmas Baubles!!!

Good morning :)

I have a Christmas ornament to share with you all.

First I want to share the inspiration from Pixie Hill. so awesome!

Here is my take

Mine are plastic. I could not find the glass baubles that Nichola used.

I love how they turned out and can't wait to give them to my Family!

Happy Crafting!

I almost forgot to mention the candle from the dollar store.

I used a tree line die cut in white, glued around the candle.

To finish it off, I added white glitter to the bottom.

Here is a photo of the candle turned on.

Have a great day!

July Facebook challenge-

~ RECYCLE ~

Join us at Gina's Designs Craft Group for our next challenge. You could win a $10.00 gift card for Gina's store. All you need to do is join the group to participate, its free!!

I used the Beach shape set to make my 10x10 canvas.

The recycled part- Soap box!

My Beach hut was made from the soap box! I will be doing a live Youtube class to show how it was made.(Date will be announced soon)

The background of the canvas was made with Twinkling H2Os from ColourArte

I used shavings from the cake mixed with water in a mister to make a wash.

To get the rust look on the roof I used brown chalk paint. While the paint was wet , I sprinkled it with allspice. When I dried it with my heat gun, my craftroom smelled like a bakery!

Thanks for stopping bye !
