Snowman Tree ~ with Cyndy G

Hello, today I am sharing a project that I am very proud of.  A Snowman Christmas tree made with files from SVG Attic.  I used the Mourners Hat from JGW Raven Quest, Elements from JGW Frosty Topper and the eyes and mouth pieces of the snowman in SDS Ice Princess Party.

This was really easy to make! I used an 18" Styrofoam ball I got at Hobby Lobby, black balls and a scarf.  The rest I made from the files mentioned above. 

This is in my office at work and I have to admit he puts a smile on everyone's face that comes in.  I just love him.  Thank you for stopping by today.

Advent Christmas Tree ~ with Cyndy

For this post I decided to tackle the JGW Tree Stack Box.  I have seen several in green and a beautiful white one in our Winter Blog Hop this past weekend.  I wondered how it would look if I used several different patterned papers for the drawers.

I am very pleased with the result.  I used 15 sheets of paper for this.  I know this sounds like a lot but it didn't feel like it.  I used 6 patterned papers (one set of four drawers will fit on one 12x12 sheet), 4 sheets of red and 5 sheets of brown.  I even made use of the half tree wedges (these are so you can use a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper).  If you put a whole tree wedge in the center of a 12x12 page you can fit two half's upside down on either side.  This enabled me to cut the six wedges with only 3 sheets of paper!

I used little buttons instead of eyelets.  I also decided that I would put little red bows in the drawers.  When the tree is finished being decorated it is Christmas Eve!

I know this tree looks like a very daunting task to put together but it is a simple project.  The hardest thing about this project is that there are 24 little boxes and 24 little slots for the boxes to slide in.  So it takes time to put these 48 pieces together.  The result is well worth it.  It looks very complicated and you will get a lot of oohs and aahs over this one.  So far this is one of my favorite projects.

December 1st is right around the corner but there is still time to get an advent calendar finished!

I think this would look great in any color combination.  I would love to see your version of the tree or any other project you have made with our files on our facebook page!  Thank you for stopping by to see my project.

BOO! Oh sheet! It's a ghost blog hop.

Boo! Oh didn't mean to scare you and I'm hoping you'll join us today for a blog hop hosted by Lorby's World and sponsored by us here at SVG Attic. Jearise one of our design team members is hosting the hop and you can begin at her blog if you just joined us.

Since Jessica is home taking care of her beautiful new baby, I have stepped in to post for her for this hop. I used the haunted tree from the set Happy Haunt Halloween Party collection to create this center piece.

 

I found the ghostly paper in K & Companies last year Halloween stack and though it would be fun to give this spooky tree some color and some floating ghost to go along with his hanging bats. The Happy Haunt Halloween Party collection is one of my favorite sets but check out all the Halloween sets because there are some to die for if you get my pun.

SVG Attic is having a drawing for a $25 gift certificate to the store and there are three things to do to qualify:

1. Like us on Facebook

2. Become a follower of our blog

3. Leave a comment saying you did the above two things or let us know if you already have done them.

The fine print... There must be at least five comments (participants) before the drawing will take place.

Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting SVG Attic and seeing my project. It is time to float on to Edwina's blog.
