On the 12th Day of Christmas

On our last day I have 2 project ideas for you & a give away! Enjoy!
Glimmer TreesSupplies Needed:
-Cardstock
-Glitter
-White Glue or Spray Adhesive
Step 1: Click here to download a cone template from Martha Stewart. Thanks Martha!
Step 2: Cut out cone template (ignore bit at bottom of this download)

Step 3: Use your template on cardstock to create your cone. Either cut around template with a craft knife or trace the template and then cut out with scissors.

Step 4: apply double sided tape to the small edge of the cardstock

Step 5: Roll paper inwards to create your cone

Step 6: Cover your cone with adhesive. I used a foam brush to apply white glue.

Step 7: Cover your cone with glitter. Make sure you have something to catch the glitter so you can pour in back into the container.

Step 8: Let dry.

Step 9: Repeat process with other colors. For the larger tree I enlarged the template and repeated the above process.

365 Days of Gratitude in 2010

This project is one I truly love to do. To write in a "Gratitude Journal", to end each day writing down one thing (or more) that I am grateful for. Whether it be the obvious ones like family & friends or the fact that my car started when it was 40 something below with the windchill. No matter the day, or my situation there is always something to be thankful for!
For this you'll need a day timer that allows room to write for each day. I recommend you wait until after Christmas (but before January 1) to go buy a day timer. They go on sale for 50% off at places like Chapters and the Calendar Club. I covered this one but if the one you buy is nice on it's own then it may not need any "dressing up". What's important is that you write in it. Have fun with it!

GOODIES!!!!
I have a bunch of Riff Raff's December shapes, along with a Christmas themed mini album from American Crafts to give away! Email Me and tell me what your favorite holiday tradition(s) are for a chance to win! I'll draw one winner Sunday @ 10pm and post the winner on Monday!
Thank you so much for hanging out with me for the last 12 Days! I hope you enjoyed each day and found inspiration in my projects! I'd love to see pictures of your creations! I'll be back before the holidays but for now I have glitter EveRyWhErE that needs to be cleaned up!
