How was your Thanksgiving? We had a wonderful time with my parents and so much good food. :)
Now onto more Christmas fun!!! We made a rule a few years back to only exchange handmade gifts with my parents. I've already started on my mother's and have some great ideas for my Dad. I can't say what quite yet since my mom sometimes reads my blog, lol.
Today I had creating another Christmas decoration and make a fun card. First, my card... I used today's PTI MIM technique of ribbon pleating. I've always loved this technique and used it with lace here. I also used The Shabby Tea Room inspiration photo, love the white, silver, glitter combo. ;)
I used my PTI stamps and dies, stickles, and fine glitter. The fun part is the angel comes off and can be used as a ornament for your tree.
And my Christmas decor jar. I used bottlebrush trees, snow & glitter, and a glitter "Merry Christmas" ornament. I hot glued the trees to the bottom of the jar. Can be used for any jar.. any size!
Thanks for stopping by! be sure to check out my talented friend Anabelle. She's this weeks guest designer at Crate Paper and did an amazing job! :)
Oh my shabby goodness, what a stunning card this week, Sherry!! I adore that set and even used it on my personal family holiday cards this year with a more homespun design! The little winter wonderland jar is amazing too -- YOU ROCK, girlie!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us in the Tea Room :)

SO gorgeous! As always, Sherry! Love, love, love that PTI card. All the neutrals and the pleated lace are just stunning. Love the doily and the PTI label, and that angel is fabulous, too. Love that it can be removed for an ornament. And LOVE that vintage jar. Bottle brush trees hold a special place in my heart!
