I've been so busy making the prizes for an ornament party that I held that I was left with very little other crafting time. Each time I finished a project I wanted nothing more than to share it, but I could not just in case one of my guests would see it here.
Well the party went off without a hitch and I can now share not only my projects, but some photos of Stampin' Up! inspired handmade ornaments too.

| Prize Table |
I had such a great time creating not only handmade prizes, but handmade touches on purchased items as well. I was also able to use up a lot of retired Stampin' Up! materials, making room for ordering more. I only wish I had gotten a better photo or more photos of individual prizes. If you click on the photo you can see it a little clearer.

| Paper Wreath |
This wreath was made using about a 1/2 of a package of DSP cut into strips and then curled with my bone folder. I've made a couple of these in the past, in fact one is hanging up in my home, but this one definitely turned out to be my favorite. I almost didn't want to give it away!!

| Advent Calendar |
I've had this advent calendar stashed for years and decided that I needed to stop hoarding and start creating. It was assembled with a little mod podge and a package of retired Stampin' Up! DSP. It turned out so well that I bought two more kits, one for my mom & one for me. You can totally come make one with me!!
I had such a great time, and 28 new handmade ornaments, that I cannot wait for next year to do it all over again! I'll leave you with a few pictures…the tree I put up this year to hold homemade ornaments and me in my "Klassy" outfit at the party!
