Christmas Crafts

 Though I'm not what you would call an artist,  I manage to get joy from exercising my creative juices, though limited that they are.  And there's no better time that I like to craft than for Halloween and Christmas.  Especially Christmas because I get to use glitter without limit. And I LOVE glitter.

I've been confined to being home this week not because of the cool weather but because my grand daughter's class was quarantined and my daughter was limited as to how many days she could take off.

So, I took the time to start my Christmas crafting.  For the supplies I used most of what I had on hand.  Though I love all of the new die cuts by Mr. Holtz as well as other vendors, I just don't  have that kind of cash to spend.  So, with the exception of a few pieces I bought at the dollar store, all the paper, glitter and glue I already had on hand.

Most pieces incorporated wooden bases that I painted white to invoke the feeling of winter and to give the paper pieces some sturdiness.  All the cut files used are from Silhouette designers and some I tweaked a little.
