Stocking Ornaments

Hi!

I'm back to show you some ornaments I made today.

I cut the stocking and accents with my Cricut using the Art Philosophy cartridge (5" real dial size, then rds button off for the accents)

I made the lollipop flowers and punched the snowflake out with my SU! punch.

The papers are from the December kit at the Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique on FB.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Blessings....

25 Days of Christmas Creations Day 25

DAY 25! FA LA LA LA LA....LA LA...LA LA!
Yeah! I did it! 25 day of Christmas Creations.....I did it, I did it!!!! Thank you so much for visiting my blog during this event. Oh yeah, and here's a little surprise.....
I will have a little something for the lady that visited the most days!
(Nov. 30th post is first in the "series")
Yay!
Today I'm sharing another ornament I made. This one is big and "romantic" *giggle*

I made this ornament using the build a stocking punch from SU! to make the reindeer. Here's Rudolf and his girly friend :)
He has his Christmas sweater on (made with the It's a Wrap Holidays set from SU!). She also has a sparkly sweater on (made from a scrap piece ?? the maker)
Maybe they're getting ready to go to an "After Christmas" Party. You know he works so hard leading the team and everything, he needs some R & R afterwards. hahahaha

I pray your Christmas Eve is wonderful. Spend time with family and friends and thank the Lord for this time of year. That's what it's all about.
Until next time...

25 Days of Christmas Creations Day 22

Wow! Wow! Wow! Here we are, Day 22! Believe it or not it has not been hard to keep up with daily posts for my 25 Days of Christmas Creations here on my blog. It has been wonderful sharing my craftiness!
Today I'm sharing with you a little something I've made this year to give to friends and neighbors. I've decided that I would like to start making ornaments each year to give to neighbors/friends. I really don't like trying to think of monetary things to give to people outside my family. I don't want to sound like a "Scrooge"....not at all. I just think, there are so many people in need around the world that me thinking what I could buy for friends and neighbors just takes away from what's really important. If they are a true friend and caring neighbor, just the fact that we think of them at this time of year is enough. That's the way I think anyway....just my 2 cents. When I get something from someone unexpectedly, it just warms my heart that I was in their thoughts during this wonderful season!
This year, I went with a snowflake theme.....

What do you think?

These could also be used as tags on gifts.
I cut the snowflake with my Cricut. Then punched out another snowflake with the SU! punch, added a circle and sentiment.
I hand wrote on the back of each "God bless! From: The Pylant's 2011"
God Bless you too! Have a great day!
Until next time...

25 Days of Christmas Creations! Day 5

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Day 5 of my 25 Days of Christmas event. (See my post of November 30th to see what all the hoop la is about! :)

Today there are no cards (sorry AnnMarie, I couldn't get your FAB box card challenge done, I will try for next Sunday). Today I am sharing with you a couple of handmade decorations my daughter and I've put on the tree.

This is our tree topper. Our daughter made it. The star is cut with the Cricut. She glittered around the edges and my mom helped her with forming the "P" with glitter glue. I believe she did an outstanding job! :)

I made this ornament with felt and fabric. I sewed around the edges of the pieces of glittered green felt then stuffed it like a pillow. Then I hot glued the Santa fabric to the front.
Can you see me in this pic? My reflection is in the gold ball. GIGGLE!
I hope you enjoyed seeing a couple of decorations from our Christmas tree today. Come back tomorrow for more card creations!
Until next time...

Blessings...
