Simply Christmas - Noel

Hi everyone, it's Michelle from Purple Monkey Moments, and I have a super cute project to share with you today. Of course, I used one of Tara's amazing stamp sets to create my project! Here it is:

Every year during advent, we do an activity every day to celebrate the season. We do a couple of theme meals - like eat a "Red, White and Green" meal or "Breakfast for Dinner". I decided that these little cutlery holders would be the perfect addition to our table on one of those nights. As soon as I saw the "Noel" sentiment on the Simply Christmas set, I knew I had to use it for something, and this was the perfect stamp for this project! I needed a small sentiment, because I didn't have much space, and my kids are in French Immersion, so having the sentiment in french was just an added bonus. And did you notice how GORGEOUS the font is??? Below is a close up of the sentiment, so you can see how beautiful the script is.

I used the Simply Christmas stamp set to create this project. You can buy your own in the Craftin Desert Divas Shop HERE.

And don't forget you still have thru tomorrow to take advantage of the SALE...

You can find all the details of my project on my blog, HERE.

A la prochaine...

Todays project is super simple, but I think real cute. I got the tic tac holder pattern from the SS but I did add the Snowman from the Too Cute by Jessica pattern Let It Snow SnowGlobe. I added a sentiment from the new CDD Winter Treats stamps. I really think that the sentiments on the stamp set is perfect for all kinds of Holiday gifts, treat bags, tags and so much more. To finish up I added some sequins, twine and a PKS face.
