SPECIAL REQUEST:

Before I share my project I would like to ask you to check out my friend Brenda's blog.  A friend of Brenda's nephew who is 12 years old has been diagnosed with cancer.  He will be starting chemo and she is asking for anyone who wishes to send him cards to get him through this tough time.  So if you have any extra cards or would like to make one please check this out and join me in sending Chris a card.  Thanks you so much. 

For the hop today, I've created a Rosette Christmas Tree

                                                        

Ribbons and Rosettes Cricut Instructions 

For this tree I cut three each at 11.5 long of 3.5, 3.25, 3.0, and  2.75 

These are then scored at 1/2 inch with a scoreboard and folded accordian fold.  

Then glue the three pieces together to perform a ring and glue down to a circle

I then cut two each at 11.5 of 2.5,  2.25, 2.0, 1.75. and 1.50  and scored at 1/2 inch and made rosettes 

For the top I used Tim Holtz rosette die cut with my Cuttlebug there are 3 sizes.

These are automatically scored at 1/4 inch.  

No Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge 

Cut 12 inch strips of paper at the same sizes above.  You can leave edges straight or punch with a punch to decorate edge.  

I then stacked the rosettes by size and decorated with glitter, snow, snowflakes and a snowflake garland I had in my stash.

Christmas layout using Rosettes and Ribbons

It sure felt good to scrap today after a crazy week.  We left last Saturday and spent 4 days visiting some of my husband's cousins.  On the way home we picked up my 22 month old granddaughter.  She stayed with us  for two nights, which was her first time, and we had a lot of fun.  Then a great day with family and friends for Thanksgiving.   My new Gypsy arrived from PC while I was gone so today I spent much of the day updating my machines and my Gypsy.  So all my crafting was done  with carts and my E2 today.  

Christmas Layout

I got some really cute Recollections Christmas paper at Michaels yesterday and decided to start my Christmas layouts.  I used the sketch from Frosted Design to create my layout.  

The large medallion is from page 63 of the Rosettes and Ribbon cart cut at 9" on shadow. 

The circle is from the same cart page 21 at 4 1/2". 

The little gingerbread man is From My Kitchen and was cut at 4 1/2".  

The red cut out felted ribbon and the cream ribbon are from Michaels.  

The star buttons are from Joanns.  

I also used twine, Pearl Pen, and assorted little buttons for the gingerbread man.  

Cream shiny cardstock was used to make a border with a MS punch.  

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will leave a comment.  Also hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends.  Happy Craftin!
