Denim...

The theme for one of the Pocket Packet Fridays challenges at PDA this month is Denim. Wasn't really sure what I was going to do until I saw a cute little pair of blue jeans in the dollar bin at Goodwill last week. They were size 6 months, so cute and tiny and the pockets on the back were perfect. I created the handle using very heavy gauge wire I found at Lowe's, I've been using it to make easels for my 4 x 6 canvas panels. I hand stitched the pockets together, adding the handle as I got to the top of each side. I cut a small piece of florist foam, inserted it into the pocket and covered with Spanish moss. A cute little display for a few stick pins.

A quick and easy project.

Enjoy!

Created this tag for the Winter Green Tag Challenge at PDA...

Joy to the World

The photo is not very good and scanning the tag was worse. If you click on the image and zoom you will see more detail.

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the tree and added white paint to the tips of the branches. The star is an old button. The wire holding the beads or ornaments, wraps around the tag. I added a spritzing of Glimmer Mist.

Hope all is going well this holiday season, we have been extremely busy and I just took another order this morning that has to be ready by Friday. Shopping still to be done and Christmas Eve day will be spent listening to Christmas music and wrapping gifts. Hard to believe it's almost here.

Have a very Merry Christmas.
