AG Mini Tree Decor

Happy December!  I started off my décor this year by adding some Anna Griffin themed mini trees created using Cricut cartridges Victorian Romance and Pretty Packages. 

They are super simple to make.  First, start off by assembling the cone cut from Victorian Romance in the cardstock of your choice.  Next, cut the bow from Pretty Packages for your branches in coordinating cardstock.  Loop the rectangles together in to a "U" shape.  Adhere to your cone.  assemble your snowflake topper and add the hearts from the cone negative as your ornaments.  I am also including the design space file if you would like to recreate:

Book Box

My son needed to have a book box decorated to represent him.  He picked the theme and the art.  My Cricut did the rest...

Jane Austen Nesting Paper Mache Books

I decided to pair up some of my favorite things, Jane Austen novels and paper crafting:

I started off with paper mache book boxes purchased from Hobby Lobby.  I then covered each book with coordinating designer paper and embellishments.  All the graphics were cut from various Cricut cartridges and then I modge podged the outside for durability.  I then added the misc. embellishments  and nested the books within each other.  For my final step, I wrapped the books in an antique ribbon with baubles.
