Can you believe it? Happy Rudolph Day! Today kicks off the 'month of the elf' at MHH. So we thought we'd try some "elf bread" (really fairy bread with Holiday sprinkles!)
DS6 gives it a 'Thumbs up'!
The Warmth of the Stable~let it envelope us all year round

Not a creature was stirring...
I got the idea for these from Papercraft magazine. I thought they would be really cute placecards for a Christmas Eve dinner!
I pulled my paperclips apart a bit and used glue dots (one on the top and one underneath)to fasten it to the card for a tail. Then I traced the shape on grey cardstock and pasted it to my mouse.Next I cut the hat shape from red and the cuff from white. I cut into the hat shape so the cuff would slide in a bit.
I gled the hat pieces together and stuck them on my mouse. Then I cut out little circular ears and folde one third inand stuck them to his head! Lastly I stuck a little pink nose on and drew a sleepy eye with a black sharpie. I printed a name on paper and slipped it into the paperclip!
Materials and tools
poster board or heavy cardstock
grey, white, and red cardstock
pink stickyback rhinestones
black sharpie
wire or spiral paperclips
modpodge
scissors

black sharpie

glue dots
Using a glass, I traced an '8' on the poster board and folded it in the centre. Then I cut the bottom off so it would sit on the table. I printed the saying on white card stock and mod podged it to the bottom of the card.

I hope you are grabbing a bit of Christmas for yourself today, even in the warmer temps!
Me? I'm getting geared up for Christmas in July-at least in that frame of mind. MHH is hosting a Christmas in July event with plenty of fun-so be sure to visit the forums in July!
ONLY SEVEN MORE MONTHS 'TIL CHRISTMAS, PEOPLE!! Let's step it up! After all-we don't really find it a chore, do we?
