Time for Festive Inspiration!

4 Dec

It’s December! (Seriously? How did that happen?) At any rate, Eileen Hull’s Inspiration Team is still hard at work sharing the festive magic of the season to inspire us all! (and take a look at this beautiful photo Eileen took! I am compelled to include it in this post.)

Eileen shared this winter wonderland photo she took near her Dad’s house. Inspiring indeed!

Now, on to the Festive Inspiration paper craft style!

First we have a royal roundup of some of Mitsyana Wright’s favorite Christmas projects from the past. Wow! These are just perfect for gift giving. Head on over to Mitsyana’s blog to check out all of the details.

Next is Karen Bearse’s continuation of her Christmas Junk Journal creation. We are up to Part 3! She is not kidding when she says this journal is jammed with joy. You will not want to miss her post which is full of technique tips and a video flip through of her progress so far. I for one can’t wait to see what she’ll be up to next with this project.

Pam Bray has done a favorite projects round up from the whole year! See her post for an overload of inspiration spread throughout the seasons. I am loving it (and this unicorn project made with the Stacking Drawer Die)!
