We're using the dies from the Halloween Night stamp/ die bundle

I didn't have the proper set-up for photographing a lighted object last night.

FRIDAY FREEBIE - Holiday Picture Frame & Tip!

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I seem to be in a holiday decor kind of mood. I guess, with all the Halloween/ Fall decorations going up, I just can't stop! 

Today's video walks you through putting together a Christmas framed piece perfect for your home - even with the smallest amount of space - or as a gift for someone.

I've used the Wonder of the Seasons Memories & More cardpack as well as the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper from Stampin' Up!

Here's a picture of the card:

Watch the video for a tip on making the most of your designer series paper.

I will be back tomorrow with another project.

Stampin' Up! SUNDAY - Halloween Decor!

 I apologize for the lack of posts all last week. By Saturday evening I had a bit of a scratchy throat that by Sunday had turned in to a full-blown sinus infection. As I type this on Sunday afternoon (today), I am able to function with DayQuil and am beginning to feel human again. I still have a few days to go I think before I can do this without meds but I have to get back to work!

Today's video is a reproduction of an item in the Holiday mini catalog - pg 52. Don't have a catalog? You can view on line HERE. You can also request a catalog by using the contacting me on Instagram @KellysCreativeDreams.

Between not having shot a video in a week and being sick, I'm a bit shaky but I really like how this project turned out. I hope you'll give it a try.

Creative Blessings!

WOYWW #439 - Halloween Hat Door Decor

Here's my desk as I left it last night:

I finally got all of my often-used supplies lined up along the back of the work table again. Nice to have stuff in reach rather than on the floor. My trimmer, day planner and my October Daily album are most current. I am going to change the date on the October Daily to a 2018 so maybe I'll be ahead of the game next year instead of so out of sorts.

On Day 1 of the 13 Days of Halloween I showed you the beginnings of a project. You can see that first post HERE.

Yesterday, on Halloween, I was finally able to finish the door hanger... though I hung it to the side of the front door.

The hang up, well part of it, was that I needed to get more flowers from $ Tree. I failed to realize how many flowers I needed to fill the hat, and I wanted sphagnum moss to help cover the floral foam.

Here's what my table looked like when I began:

There are 21 purple roses, seven spiders, two purple picks and five black picks. Considering I only started with eight roses, you can understand why I underestimated how many I needed. 

This is how the arrangement looks hanging next to our front door.

I 'think' I picked up the sign at $Tree as well. The hat and the sphagnum were both purchased at $Tree.

I'm really happy with how this turned out. Next week I'll show you the Fall hanger I've put up in it's place. 

That's it for my desk this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground  for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list. 

Creative Blessings!

MIXED MEDIA MONDAY - Home Decor

While I was in Texas, Bob temporarily hung a sign in our bathroom that states 'Captain's Quarters'. He purchased the sign at a flea market type place in Bourbon MO earlier this year with the intention of hanging the appropriate sign (He is a boat Captain) in his Man Cave once it is finished - which will not be until we've moved me completely out of the space into the new studio. I kind of like the sign hanging in the bathroom and the sea/ beachy theme already matches the white/ seafoam blue-green color scheme. But I decided we needed something more than a sign to carry the theme through.

On a wander through Walmart craft department the idea struck me to make a new candle piece... one without a real candle. I know there are suppose to be ways to clean melted wax out of those jars but the glass is so fragil. So I opted for a 'pretend' (I disklike the word fake  hehe)  That day I purchased the sea shells and the 2 glass containers.

While my sister-in-law, Rhonda was here, we made a trip to Hobby Lobby where I bought the sand and the seashells. I wasn't in the candle shopping vein then... just crafting. When Bob and I went back a couple weeks later I found THIS blue L.E.D Flameless candle. The Electronic Flickering can be set to ON or has a TIMER and runs on 3 AAA batteries. I liked this one because of the timer and the batteries are easy to acquire and less expensive than the button batteries.

The completed project came out like this:

Not enough light to read by but with all the other lights out in the bathroom, the soft glowing flicker is very relaxing. 

Oh, and if you think I'm missing a scent, I use the night light style wax melt pots so I can pick the scent. I usually use an Ocean Breeze or Clean Linen for the bathroom.

Wishing you Creative Blessings on your week!
