A few days before Christmas we had a bad storm & lost our internet Thank goodness I had already pre schedule my DT post for Green Tara... but! that was the only post I scheduled..
Now! that I have internet back.. I can share with you my creations for Green Tara
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas frame”
First up is the photo

around the frame! Then stamped, inked, sprayed then added some micro beads to give it a mixed media
feel to it!! Finishing it off by adding lots of GORGOEUS Green Tara goodness....
The Wire stars are 1 of my FAVES
from Green Tara... these beauties come a few colours, I’ve left these 1’s
plain! Don’t they look FANTASTIC.....

Aqua, 4cm White Apple Blossom, 5cm
Sakura in Purple & a 5cm Satin Rosette in the palest
lavender which I have Sprayed fushia Pink...

the Sketch created by the Sweet Nadia Cannizzo
I wanted to create this layout of our Christmas Tree for 2012...
For the last few years now.. The kids & I discuss on which color theme we with go with this year for Christmas!!!
after seeing a Christmas tree VIA Pinterest with the rows of coIoured balls, I asked the kids what was there thoughts on this & they like me LOVED it!!
So this year was color theme for US...
down the right side I've used the Green Tara herringbone Black & Turquoise ribbons, along with some Gorgeous Green Tara Lace with some gold Stars on the wire
I've cut up some of the Black Herringbone ribbon to create arrow/chevron strips....
along with a 3cm Purple velvet leave, a couple of the newer flowers a 3cm white lace pearl flower & 6cm wild rose pale blue..
That's it for today! I best go tidy up & Organize this house....
as I have 3 of my nephews staying with us for the 5 days..
SO! I going to know what it feels like to be a mother to 5 kidlets ranging from 4 years to 10 years!!
THANK goodness hubby is on holidays to help O.U.T!

Take Care
