Merry Christmas Blog Hop ~ Memories In Tyme

Welcome to the Memories in Tyme Merry Christmas Blog Hop!

We're so happy you could join us for this super-fun hop showcasing cards, layouts and projects that feature everything wonderful about Christmas!! You'll find an array of ideas throughout the hop -- From decorations to gift ideas and more, we hope you'll enjoy each and every project along the way!! This is a TWO-DAY hop, so be sure to catch both days for maximum ideas (you can find the entire line up for both days at Lynda's Blog!!


  We can guarantee LOTS of SPARKLE and SHINE for this Ho-ho-holiday event... So let's get hopping!!  If you've hopped over from  LISA you are in the right place.  If you found me first, please start at the BEGINNING so you don't miss anything!


For my project today, I embellished some 8x10 frames from the Dollar Store.
I trimmed some scrapbook paper and put it in the frames.  I cut out some images in black vinyl and put them on the glass.  Winter Winderland is from the Winter Woodland cartridge, the children with the tree is from A Child's Year cartridge and Believe is from Gypsy Wandering.
I inked some flowers with red and glue dotted them to the corner of the Santa frame.  I added a St. Nick tag from my Christmas stash (Making Memories).
I added some crystals to the "I".
On this frame, I added some ribbon and tags to the bottom of the frame.

I love making things and giving them away.  I gave these to a non-crafty friend to give as a gift in exchange for some home made bread!!  Yum!

What do you like to do with the crafts you make?  Give them away, donate them, use them yourself, some of each?

Thanks for stopping by today.  You next stop is ANITA!
