Christmas Memories

"Each Christmas

finds me longing for

Christmases now past.

And I am back in

childhood - as long as

memories last."

 

~ Carice Williams ~

Do you save the ends from

refrigerated cinnamon roll cans? I'd

always thought they'd be good for some sort

of crafting, and last year used them for

stamping. Right now, I'm making them into

ornaments. For this one, I used one of the

smaller round images, a paper doily, clear

glitter, and yarn around the outside:

You can find the complete Victorian

illustration here. I also used an endpaper

texture. The only other images used were

free elements, available on Canva.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Greatest Glow

past, we usually find that the

simplest things - not the great

occasions give off the greatest

glow of happiness."
