Well, today is our last day and I have had a blast hopping and making projects. I enjoyed all of the projects by the talented ladies of this hop, and I would like to thank Lisa for putting this hop together and hosting it! She did an awesome job. So, for my last project, I made deco mesh garland and a huge deco mesh wreath for my front door.

The wreath was puff deco mesh wreath style. The one I did yesterday was a bow style. Again I used hot pink and light pink with silver. I added a star, santa hat, butterflies, candy canes, snowflakes and 2 christmas light bulbs. I also added snowflake lights. Hubby doesn't like it because it is pink.

And my garland. I used a garland base then added pink and silver deco mesh with 2 different hot pink ribbons. I added snowflakes, icles, ornaments and 2 poinsettias. I love it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my projects. Leave a comment to enter the chance to win a small deco mesh candle ring in green and red from me. I will announce the winners on Sunday. Now, onto the fabulous Lisa where I am sure she will have something spectacular to share with us.

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop-Day 10

I used a small wire wreath form, 1 1/2 in. deco mesh ribbon in pink and white, pink tiger strip ribbon, snowman ribbon, snowflake ribbon and pink/white lattice ribbon, pink pine cones, silver poinsettia, pink poinsettia, 2 medium pink snowflakes, small pink and white snowflakes, pink ornament, pink tea lite candle, small candle bow, buffalo snow. I cut the deco ribbon into 12 in strips. I did 12 of pink and 12 of white. I added a 5 in strip of tiger strip ribbon to each white mesh bow and 5in strip of pink/white lattice ribbon to each pink mesh bow. I made a bow out of the pink/white snowflake and snowman ribbons. In my candle bowl, I put some buffalo snow, pink/white snowflakes, and pink hearts with my pink tea light.

I absolutely love how the candle ring wreath turned out!!!My craft assistant was assisting me with my wreath and was so inspired that when I turned my back she absconded with some of my pink flowers to decorate her cat tent.

Lettering Delights

Now onto my project for the day. I decided to try my hand at a couple of ornaments. Well, it didn't go so well. I found several ideas on Pinterest, and was so excited to try them. The first one was not as easy as it looked, and well, it probably was this crafter's fault. The first one used Tulip soft fabric paint, and I thought at first I missed a step, but it turns out I was supposed to shake it from side to side to get it to splatter. Instead, I tried to swirl it around and upside down with no success. It didnt seem to want to move when I poured the paint into it and I just kept pouring more in when they said a little would be sufficient. So here is how my ornament turned out. It may be the colors I chose to put together, but in my mind Pink and Purple go well together(my wedding colors). And my assistant, our cat Dixie was no help during this process as she was continually trying to steal my flowers, snowflakes and snowballs for the next ornaments. Here is a link to the site showing how its suppose to look and be done. Obviously I have done something wrong. http://www.ilovetocreateblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/neon-marble-paint-ornaments.html

My next two ornaments were photo ornaments. They turned out much better.

I filled the clear ornament with a little snow and a pink fern leaf. Cut and mounted my picture on scrapbook paper, rolled it and stuck it into the ornament. Using a pencil to unroll it and tweezers to place it. Then I added some pink flowers and little pink hearts. I put ribbon around the top and hot glue a little flower to the top.

My next ornament i did in the same manner, only difference, it was a pancake shaped ornament.
