Welcome as we count down our 12 days of creativity! On day 6 we are concentrating on using our stash already on hand as well as getting the kids involved in making their own one-of-a-kind gift items. So today is  one of those days where you will pull your products and let the kids get involved in making their own crafty gifts.

Welcome to day 6!

Are you ready to begin?

Let's start with an adorable ornament courtesy of hostess with the mostess that is very easy for the kids to make. I love the faces and hats on these little guys. So much fun to make!

Another kewl idea is to have the kids decorate their own envelopes for their wish lists to Santa, courtesy of Family Fun.

The gingerbread house is always a favorite in our house. Why not make one that will last a bit longer.  Here’s a great idea using Cork. Isn't that fun?





It’s a great way to get the kids involved by letting them make their own gifts for friends. Jewelry is always a hit so how about a Chinese Staircase Bracelet? Here’s a great video to get you started. This will provide hours of enjoyment. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by again today. I truly enjoy your comments. Did I tell you how much yet??? Well I truly love your comment!!


Don’t forget the blog hop and Want2scrap $25.00 gift certificate giveaway!




Have a great day,
Michele

So glad you could join us today as we get busy with the season of gift giving!  Sometimes the thought of giving that special someone can be a daunting task so we've created quite a line-up of fun projects to create that personal touch this holiday.  We want to make this holiday as painless as possible. . . at least in the gift-giving area.  :)

Every day for the next 12 days as we countdown to the holidays, I will supply you with wonderful tutorials, inspiration, templates, and videos so you can create that one-of-a-kind gift everyone will be raving about or that beautiful Christmas décor to really put you in the Christmas spirit!

So let's not waste any more time and get right to it, shall we?



First on our roundup is this beautiful hand-crafted rosette Christmas tree from the amazing ladies of the Shanty 2 Chic blog. They’ve created a great tutorial on just how they made this adorable tree. 

Isn’t it cute??  I love the twine and the bells at the top.

Next is that fabulous Christmas tree Canvas from Tracie of Cleverly Inspired! She also has a tutorial plus a few tips on how to make this cute canvas.  I can see doing this with the kids and letting them create away.  What a great idea!

Next is an adorable flower and tree embellishments by Leslie of GCD studios. She shows you how to make the layered foil flower below.



Hey you could even make a bunch of these and create your own Christmas tree!!  Yep my creative juices are in overdrive now!

I‘m in love with Prima Flowers but my pocketbook definitely has a problem with them! So why not turn your paper scraps into beautiful Prima-style Camelot flowers. All you’ll need is your favorite dies and left over paper. Sounds great right?

Well, it is! Let Tonya Gibbs show you how to make your very own Rose Paper Flowers using her technique.  You’ll save tons of money and your hubby will thank you for your resourcefulness!  (Well probably not . . but it sounded good.)

 

I’m going to rummage through my diecuts and scrap paper and see what beautiful flowers I can come up with.

Want to join me? Come along for the ride and make your own and don’t forget to visit Tonya Gibbs Youtube channel for more exciting videos as well.   

You won’t want to miss the next inspirational idea, tutorial, or class posting. . . so be sure to bookmark, follow, or just stalk us often!


Have a great day!
