Pear & Partridge Ornament Photo Cube

Pear and Partridge patterned papers and cardstock, along with Art Philosophy-cut Cricut flowers and leaves, Sparkles, and cranberry ribbon cover this cube from Close To My Heart.

It's a special way to show off 2.5 x 2.5 inch photos (they can be layered on all sides) and hang them on your Christmas tree as wonderful memories. Journaling about dates, people, places, and events can be done on the cardstock under all the photos that you layer. 

Think about your family members and friends who might like this unique gift -- and make them ahead of time and add photos from throughout the year! Or make ornaments for a Valentine tree branch, an Easter tree, a birthday branch, or an anniversary memory tree.

I used Liquid Glass to make the flower petals shine. It also helps to hold corners of papers down tightly, and to secure the ribbon in the hole.

THANK YOU to my CTMH upline, Debra Butler, for gifting me with the pre-cut papers and the cube! 

Happy creating!

Christmas in the Heart--Christmas in the Air

I used Pear and Partridge papers from Close To My Heart to make "banner strips" cards--a variety of three cards here, each a bit different.

I was inspired by the banner strip card designed by Karen Day, shown here:

What better way to spend another triple-digit-temperature day than to create some Christmas cards using NEW papers from Close To My Heart?! 


And here's my first one using the new Pear & Partridge Papers -- I'm lovin' these colors! 


Here's my "recipe" for this ivory card base that's 5 x 6.5 inches:


Green rectangle: 4.5 x 6 inches
Striped rectangle: 1.5 x 6 inches
Ivory rectangle: 3.5 x 3 inches
Pear & Partridge rectangle: 3 x 5 inches


Evensong ribbon: 13 inches
Bitty sparkles
Stamp set: Everlasting Life
Ink: Cranberry


(I modified the card dimensions from one featured in the Pear & Partridge WOTG kit.)


Have a great new month, keep praying for rain for all of us in the Midwest, and happy scrappin'! I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. I'd better be careful what I wish for! (I'll change my wish to a Caribbean cruise, how's that?)
