Oh what JOY!!!......

It's the first of December!

what a magical month it is going to be!!

I can't wait......

the house is decorated the trees are up!!

5 this year!

Yes you read right!

pics to follow tomorrow ...

because today is the December 1st challenge over at

Get Creative challenge blog

the challenge is to make an ornament...

for your tree

or as a decoration for your house

or as an embellishment on a layout

or christmas card!

I made a fabric banner to decorate the house

and here is how.....

Maya Road fabric banner....

I painted a generous layer of gesso

once the gesso dried I used a snow flake as a mask

and misted with glimmer mist

While waiting for the banner to dry

I cut out the word JOY from chipboard

Then misted again with Maya Road mists

So once every thing dried...

I started embellishing

with stickers...brads and snowflakes!

Hope you like it.....

Later......
