With Love At Christmas

Good Day All,

Oh, I am so excited to announce I am a Guest Designer for Craft Hoarders Challenge Blog for the month of December. Eeeeek!!!!
I don't know if you've ever been to this Challenge Blog but Gloria and her Design Team are all so talented and just wonderful artists.

The Challenge for December is Challenge #21,"Celebrate the Season". 
So Raise your hands if you hoard Christmas or other winter holiday items! Who has a drawer full of "retired" holiday papers and embellishments? Who goes crazy over the candy cane ribbons or the sparkly embellishments? Share a winter or seasonal holiday project with us. We would love to see your Christmas projects, but you may also enter Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year's, other holiday celebration projects, or any winter-themed projects. 
Celebrate the season with us!

Our sponsor for the month of December is 

OooooWheeee!!! Who would not want to win some of that wonderful, beautiful 
goodies from Spellbinders!!!

Well without further ado Here is my project for 
As for hoarding Christmas items, I doooo. Lol   I love making wreaths or arrangements in my home or for any type of holiday. And I hate to admit it but besides cardmaking or scrapbook stuff, I hoard flowers, these birdhouses, birds and other floral decorating items. I have two tubs full of poinsettias, garland, tree branches with holly and berries and other floral decor items. I just can not help myself, I know these things go on sale after the holiday and I buy more cause I just know I will use one day. Right?? I know you all are thinking the same thing when you see something, "One Day....I will use this". Lol  :D

For this bird house I dabbed around it with TH Distress Vintage photo ink then used hot glue to adhere all my birds, tree branches, berries and pine cones on. I also hung one of TH wreaths around the hole of the bird house and used peeled paint to color it green. The snow is Snowtex , I love using this item, it is one of my fav's now. :D







A stamp set I used (was a free stamp set last year from a magazine no name), embossed the sentiment with gold powder and stamped the holly garland twice. 
Plus you can see the little angle I stamped earlier and rubbed off and then dabbed vintage photo around it so it would show. 




Supplies:
From my stash - Floral items are from the Dollar General Store but can be found at Michaels & JoAnn stores as well. Red ribbon from stash
Snowtex for the snow around the bird house.
Wooden bird house
SU - gold embossing powder
TH distress ink - vintage photo and peeled paint inker used on the wreath and SU - pens to draw around the stamp holly and bird image
