I think tree decorations can make lovely gifts; each year when decorating the tree you are reminded of the person who gave it to you.
I made a shaker style ornament from recycled cardboard and acetate.I used the Tim Holtz baroque die to create the ornamnet then painted it with cream acrylic paint and then stamped with the snowflakes from Artistic Outpost Sleigh Ride with coffee archival ink. The main image is Lost Coast Designs Praying Angel. I added a snowflake charm and some confetti stars and some gold glitter beads and a gold tassel to finish.
Another quick project from me, this time a card using this lovely vintage old St Nick mounted stamp. I stamped onto Kraft card with archival ink. I used versamagic aspen mist to tint round the edges of the stamped image and the sentiment ticket. Then I used paper from my stash to create this easel card.

Beautiful decoration Paula, like you I am extremely slow so Christmas cards this year are very thin on the ground ! Sue C x
A really gorgeous ornament and card Paula. Such a lovely vintage look to both and beautiful stamping and colours.
Hope you get your cards done soon, I do know how you feel as I'm not that quick either and can never understand how others knock things up in 10 minutes.
Hugs, Fliss xx
Both projects are amazing but the ornament is my favourite, just beautiful!! Such a good idea too!
I think that all us have a little (or a big :-)) stress these days :-) I'm sure your Christmas ornament is marveleus. At least, your photos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing them with us. Have a great pre- Christmas days :-)
Gorgeous ornament and card, so beautifully made. x
Paula
Both projects are stunning. Yes, a handmade ornament can certainly be treasured year after year.
I feel your pain regarding cardmaking!! I still have more cards to make but I am completely fatigued regarding the theme of Christmas. I will let out a whoop of joy when the final one is completed lol.
