Inspiration: Reds and Teals/Turquoise/Tiffany Blue
I absolutely LOVE the hot color pairing this holiday season – Red and Teal!
When I moved into my new place this summer, I decorated the kitchen in this color scheme! Red and teal or turqouise with white… oh-so-heavenly.
Here are some holiday (and other) uses for this color palate I’ve found in my online travels.
This gorgeous paper. I couldn’t find it online, but I bought this teal with red birds paper at Broadway Paper and used it to wrap up some Christmas gifts. (img via karleighjae)
Teal and red felt bows? LOVE! (via Twig and Thistle)
This hat would look fabulous on my head. Just sayin’. (via knitsational)
I actually bought one of these a couple of weeks ago at an antique shop! It’s in my kitchen now. (via ricracandbuttons)
Oh, and don’t even get me started on the vintage pyrex casserole dishes!
A Parrot Christmas Wish
A friend wanted to hire me to make her parrots into little Christmas elves. She wanted it really cartoony, which I can do. Realistic? Not so much.
She loved it!

Handmade Ornaments and Wall Decor
I’ve been busy working on some new projects to sell at the art/craft fair I’m doing with my dad next month. The date is quickly approaching (Nov. 9!) and I am trying to create projects that you won’t find at any other booth.
Here are some photos of my recent projects. All are using a peice of Maya Road Chipboard… but instead of using them the traditional way in an album, I’m using individual pages to create ornaments and wall hangings.
I used a variety of elements on these projects. I certainly can’t remember all of them anymore, but here’s a list of some of the contributing companies:
Maya Road, Basic Grey, My Mind’s Eye, Making Memories, Pink Paislee, Copic, Kenner Road Vintage Goodness, Prima, Sassafrass, Hambly, Jenni Bowlin, Queen & Co, Colorbox, Fiskars Scallop Punch (which, by the way is my new favorite toy), Crop-a-dile, Kaiser, Zip Dry, Therm-o-web, Glossy Accents, American Crafts, Scenic Route, thickers.
