Witches for Xmas? Plus a Beautiful Crown!

Filed under Art Projects, Kristin Batsel, Lora Mahaffey, Winter Crowns Kit

Wow, a bit of a change of plans regarding the Free Gift Kit! You guys went crazy and ripped through 2 cases of snowglobes on Thursday! So see below for a NEW free gift with all orders!

Also see below for info on the Miniatures for Holiday Decor sale that ends tomorrow night.

And see Santa’s note at left about receiving packages before Christmas? That deadline is tomorrow night. Though if you’re like me, receiving a package of goodies to use for crafting after December 24th will be like Christmas morning all over again!
 

The Witches Deck the Halls by Lora Mahaffey

I love this project — and the whole idea! A Halloween project for Christmas!

Design Team Member Lora Mahaffey used the Large Haunted House Shadowbox and Window Trims we announced for Halloween as the structure for her house. (Plus she added some custom windowboxes, that she explains on her blog post).

The witches have decked out their house for Christmas! It’s wintery and snowy outside and very festive inside.

The ladies have the tree all decorated and stockings hung, ready for Santa.

They are dressed in their finery, have their festive hats on and have their brooms all spiffed up, ready for their midnight rounds and then it’s off to the Christmas Cookie Exchange!

Sparkly Gold Crown by Kristin Batsel

Wow! I love this crown by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel! It’s so different from the 2 crowns last Sunday, but still part of our crown theme this month.

Kristin used the new Fancy Gold Dresden Diadem or Crown as the base of her (truly) sparkly crown. Plus the stick pins, pearls, rhinestones, new star picks, stitched leaf ribbon, and new brass stars… and it’s soooo luxe!

Sometimes, you just need a crown to brighten up your day. I just got a lovely package of goodies from Alpha Stamps, perfect for making a sparkly gold crown. One of the items, a fancy gold Dresden Diadem, was the perfect size and shape for a crown base. All I had to do to make it regal was to add the bling! Gold on gold on gold, and lots of jewels; I feel like the queen of everything.
