Hello! After a bit of technical difficulties I was able to create a short video of the Christmas Tea Table Setting and use Voice Over! This Ole Gal is figuring this video editing out! The questions that you asked over on Instagram will be answered in another video soon! Thanks for such an MAGICAL week of creating with me! There is no “being behind” on these projects, they can be created anytime! Merry Christmas!
Hello! Today is the final day for the Creative Christmas Series and we are going to have a Christmas Tea. This will be a two part video. The first video I am making DIY Faux Christmas Crackers to include in the little gifts I will be giving our guests and I show a little sneak peek into how I plan and my paper copy of Pinterest. So I’m off to make cookies, put on Christmas Music and finishing setting the table. We have guests coming! Rebecca
I have made so many of the felt star shaped Santas. The first time I made them I was a stay at home mom with my son. I was watching HGTV everyday, remember when it was all crafting and food? So I was one crafty babe and decided to make all felt ornaments for the Christmas tree. I want to include this story in my December Journal so I also made a Santa without the stuffing. Can’t wait to see what you create, be sure to tag me at #CWRCREATIVECHRISTMAS
I have put together a template to help with the Santa Shapes, you can print it here:
Happy Creating, Rebecca
Welcome to Video number 6 in the Creative Christmas Series! Today is all about creating with BELLS! I love the sound of jingle bells at Christmas! I was inspired by this project from when I created jingle bell bracelets for my daughter’s girl scout troop when they were going to sing carols at the Austin Library.
In this video we are creating three different Jingle Bell project. I love the pens and pencils you can buy with the jingle bells at the top, in this video I show you how to make your own. We are also going to make a paperclip junk charm. These are so fun because you can theme them anyway you like. Endless possibilities. Most of all have fun and let’s JINGLE ALL THE WAY! Rebecca
Welcome to the next video in the Creative Christmas Series. today we will be making Mixed Media Paper Angel Ornaments. I have included a template below with a sheet of music paper, and the ornament size along with the shape of the angel dress. In the video I use a paper doily that can be purchased at any craft or baking shop. If you are unable to purchase one, cardstock or paper can be used as well. Have fun creating your sweet little angel! Rebecca
Hello and welcome back to the Creative Christmas Series! Today is all about picking a childhood memory from Christmas and recreating it. For me that is coloring in a new coloring book with a brand new set of Crayons. Every year my mom would give me and my sisters a Christmas Coloring book and a brand new set of Crayons. We would lay on our stomachs under the Christmas tree and color by the twinkle of the Christmas Lights. Also in the video I show a quick flip of my scrapbook I kept when I was about 13 years old. Christmas brings on all the nostalgic feelings! Have fun “being a kid” again in choosing your memory! Rebecca
Hello! Welcome back to the Creative Christmas Series. Today we will be making an Artsy Paper Chain! When I started looking for projects to create in this series, I asked Facebook and IG followers about what they loved creating as a kid. So many mentioned the Paper Chain Countdown where you tear off a chain link a day to count the days until Christmas. So let’s be a kid again and make a Paper chain! I thought it would be fun to add paper bits to each chain link and once I tear them off use them in my journal as the days, for example Day 1, is December 1st. These are super easy and fun to make. See below for the free printable of the round Peppermint Numbers. I hope you enjoy the video and creating!
Let the merry making begin!! Rebecca
Hello and Merry Christmas! Welcome to Day ONE in the Creative Christmas Series. Today I will be going LIVE on You Tube at 6 pm CST! I will be showing you Creative Station Set up along with creating a Christmas Wand! We cannot start the season without adding a little of whimsical magic! See below for a template I will be using to create a wand for my journal. I will be using a colorful paper straw for my wand handle, but you could use a wooden dowel rod, Popsicle stick or even just rolled up paper. Go to your stash and see what you have! Hope to “see” you tonight!!
UPDATE~ The live stream on You Tube didn’t quite work so I had a Live event on Instagram. Here is the link the view.https://www.instagram.com/tv/CHT4hO3JrzA/?igshid=5ile2gor5mlx
