Scrappinlils Creative Side: Joy...blocks!

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to look at my creations...I love making memories that I can share with my family and friends....and especially my daughters. They are my inspirations for creating a lot of these layouts. I love taking everyday ordinary things and making them into beautiful altered art. My downfall is buying beautiful papers and not wanting to use them because they are too gorgeous. LOL. Please take the time to check out my crafts, follow my blog and maybe even scraplift them and make sure you let others know where you got the idea...Love to have new followers of my blog.

Joy...blocks!

Hello ladies...I have been wanting to try some different ways of crafting. I used some wooden blocks that my husband had left over...and decorated them with DCWV Holiday Christmas collection cardstock.

I used mod podge, sanded the paper, inked with tim holtz walnut stain, ribbon (which you can see from the side). Embossed the banch ornaments with red and gold embossing powder.

Used twinkle glitter for the wreath, added a pearl cut wreath with Jolly Holidays @ 2 3/4"

Stocking cut @ 2 3/4" with chipboard about 3 times. This is suppose to be the J..but didn't want to use a letter....so I did the stocking as the J.

branch with ornaments (tucked behind the stocking) cut with same cartridge @ 2 3/4"

the "Y" cut @ 2 3/4" with Tear drop.

I painted the blocks with some outdoor green paint that I had left over.

Hope you enjoy...I might make some more of these as gifts....thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful chilly day.
