111515 Frosty Festivities 2015 at Jennifer Grace Creates

Well, hi there!

So glad you hopped on by for the 2015 Frosty Festivities Blog Hop!

Jennifer has challenged us to put our creative elf caps on & give you

something wonderful to inspire you to create for the upcoming season.

Personally? I'm a big fan of easy to make but packs a punch...

I wanted to add a new element to my mantel this year.
I saw a lot of cute ideas for ways to dress up clear glass ball ornaments
but I ultimately decided to simply stuff them with gold & white elements!


Hanging glittered snowflakes, gold tinsel, sections of a feathered boa & gold jingle bells peek out of these glass ornaments.

Tied onto a wide ribbon of dreamy tulle they add the perfect bit of interest that demands a closer look.

If you check on my Christmas Pinterest Board you can find other ideas for these ornaments.

Be it Christmas, New Year or winter, decking your halls or your hair, capturing the memories or finding new traditions, I hope we have given you some new directions for your creativity.

And just in case everything you've seen so far this month & will see today on the hop isn't inspiring enough? Jennifer Grace is giving away this PRIZE PACK of a Lawn Fawn stamp set and more - enter to win by commenting on all the blogs in the Frosty Festivities 2015 hop! The giveaway closes on Sunday the 6th of December at 10pm GMT, and is open internationally.

Make sure that you don't miss any of the stops on the hop today!

051515 Jennifer Grace Creates Focus Your Craft & Soul Blog Hop

I'm so excited to be a part of

link HERE

Our challenge was to create absolutely anything
inspired by "Focus, Jennifer's word for 2015,
That got me thinking about what this year is about for us.

With my husband retiring in just thirteen days
we are looking forward to some fun!

No longer will the clock rule our days.

We have a Great Courses DVD cooking class to go through together.

We are taking a land/sea/air trip to Alaska!

We will be building a cabin at our retreat.

Being inspired by Jennifer's style I made sure to add plenty of bling
and lots of bits to add texture & interest, and I gave my golden girl (a Jenni
Bowlin stencil fussy-cut from gold foil) a little English cottage home :~)

Well, I can't hold you up any longer from the rest of the fun,
but FIRST don't miss this chance for a prize!

Not only is Jennifer Grace generously putting on this fabulous FREE weekend of crafty creativity,
but she is also giving away this terrific WRK Insta Album Kit!
