since it is about to snow A L O T

i thought this would be a good time to catch up on some of my christmas projects

this year my friend ornaments combines fabric and paper, beads and glitter

i used images from old prayer cards my mom loaned me and added some from the graphics fairy - between the two of them, they have everything

each one is different and i made about 25 - i used postcards for the base and added velvet ribbon from my friend jill and lace from the goodwill and ribbons from my stash and mercury beads from my grama - i sewed and glued and glittered - it was a blast - i copied the prayer cards and then glued them to heavy stock and distressed them so they looked old - there are layers of organza and netting velvet and satin and anything else i could throw in there  - i packaged them in onionskin envelopes i made from the box of paper i scored at the thrift store (it has an onionskin watermark on each sheet)
