My "Deck the Halls" project
The Magic of Winter
Just because you don't have a picture frame doesn't mean you can't create a wall decor project.
My wall decor measures 11" x 7" I've decorated my wall with a simply easy and fun project. I've used chipboard for the background, added brown cardstock then a polka-dot pattern paper, then easily decorated using two great cartridges... Winter Woodlands for the words and Christmas Cheer for the snowman head.
The final touch was to add fabric snowflake stickers then the jute/rope for the hanger. Simply magical, and you can't tell from the photo... but my snowman head "wobbles"... so cute!!!!

Thankful For You -Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

I'm thankful for my my dear husband who serves this country and is away from us at this time of year, we'll be together soon.

I'm also thankful for you! For taking the time to visit my blog, I love the comments you leave it truly makes my "Creative Cottage" all worth while. Thank you so much for visiting!

Today's project is a Fantabulous Cricut Challenge "Thankful For..." Create a thankful project.


I used the Heritage cartridge, the leave from page 24 & 25. I crumpled them a bit before adhering them. The frame was on page 31 and cut at 1". The sentiment was printed using my computer.


Remember to visit the other "Thankful" project at FCCB and see what the design team has created -HERE.
