Challenge Entry: Christmas Tree Ornament

I hope to make my own ornaments for our tree this year.  So here's an attempt, sort of a prototype if you may.  It also depicts a wreath, if it isn't too obvious.  Well, at least that was what I was trying to achieve. Hahaha. :))

This one's a bit big - around 6" for the outer scallop, the inner scallop is 3 3/4".  All the dies you see in this project were cut with my Cricut Expression using the cartridges Accent Essentials and Storybook.

We are yet to put out the tree, so I just stuck a hanger on the closet to take a photo of my hanging ornament.

Okay, okay, enough talk, here goes...

The inner scallop circle hangs off the bigger scallop, so it turns freely when you hang it. Both sides of the inner scallop is decorated with similar embellishment. :)

All paper used here is from Echo Park's Season's Greetings.  I LOVE ECHO PARK!!! :)

Nice, eh?  Leave me some love if you like it!

Close up.

Here's the hidden journalling.

The journalling reads...
"We, too, get to play in the snow here in sunny Singapore.
Well, indoors as it was, we still had tons of fun sliding down the slope in snow tubes and enjoyed the cold."

LO Project: Christmas Greeting Cards with Echo Park's Season's Greetings Paper Pad

I just want to share these two Christmas Cards I made using the festive papers from Echo Park's Season's Greetings Paper Pad.

Card #1 - Joyeux Noel

I used a Mojo Monday sketch for this card.  I added buttons and charms that complement the festive colours of the papers I chose from the pad.  The sentiment is from PapertreyInk.

Card #2 - Joy to the World

This one I kept really simple.   I want to keep the focus on the pretty papers.  The dominant colour here is red which I kept going on with the red rhinestones on the diecut tag for the sentiment and the fringed ribbon.  The sentiment is from PapertreyInk. The candy cane button adds some interest without taking the focus off the DPs.

I really enjoyed creating with the papers from this set.  Especially how the designs on both sides of the paper coordinate very well.   I am looking forward to creating more out of this paper set and try out other designs/layouts so keep posted! :)
