Challenge #93 - Christmas

Hey everyone, Michele here with the next PGCB challenge. Christmas is coming and we hope you've been getting crafty!  If not, I hope our challenge this month will get you motivated!

Challenge #93 - CHRISTMAS

Please welcome our guest designer for the month of December:

Diana M. Larson

What an honor to be a guest designer for the Paper Girls Challenge Blog. The theme this month is “Christmas” - I love it!!!  I love to share what I create. If you like the ribbon or twine you see on

this project, you can order it from DL.ART.

I started blogging almost five years ago and have chatted, met, and been inspired by many of my peers.  Every month I have an ANYTHING GOES linky challenge on my blog, one entry per day, with a chance to win a prize. On the second and fourth of the month I offer themed challenges, with limited entries.  We have lots of fun with creative inspiration from my Design Team and from all the entries. This year I have introduced a line of crinkle ribbon, which some are custom colors that I have developed and I keep a formula book with my color combinations.  I love to experiment and try new things, I hope you will come visit my blog and be inspired.I also have an ETSY store ETSY.com/shop/DLART, where you can purchase the ribbons I make, twine and numerous hand made cards and jewelry. The name of my blog is DL.ART but the url is: http://dianamlarson.blogspot.com, I hope you will stop by and enter my challenges and be inspired.

Two years ago I started selling Close To My Heart products. I love the paper and stamps so it just seemed to fit with everything else I was doing along with teaching a few workshops a year and exhibiting my watercolor paintings and participating in art and craft fairs.  I will be here all month if you have any questions please come over to my blog all my contact info is at the top of my blog. I am also on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, and you can get feeds right to your e-mail every time I post, if you sign up for it.

Here's Diana's beautiful Christmas project:

After I had photographed the box card I added twine to the sleigh. I used about 5-6 pieces of paper to create this. The file comes from SVGcuts.com. I used AC cardstock and MME. I love do 3D projects and multiples of anything. I added a brad for the door knob. These are so fun to make and give. I will be here all month, so I will see you for the next challenge!

And here are projects from the Paper Girls:

Michele
I created a small gift box out of a 12x12 sheet of card stock with a card to match.

Kerys

Karrie

So last weekend a friend and I did our Christmas baking

 and this weekend I got to scrap about it.  Double the Christmas craft fun!

Brittany

We did our annual tradition visiting Santa - probably our best visit yet.

Kristy

I love wreaths, but I haven't had a chance to make one for our house this year.  After about an hour of curling leaves and another 3 of hot gluing them to make sure none of the ring was showing, I have a new wreath.  The best part about it, I can change the snowflakes and ribbon and make this wreath work for all seasons!

Erica

I decorated some tree forms using punched out circles and squares. They were perfect to pair with my new Nutcracker themed nutcrackers.

And now for our winner announcement!
