I'm really not the kind of crafter who is this far ahead of the game, but when I opened up my supply of vintage scrapbooking goodies from
Scrap Rat, I was instantly inspired to create a Christmas Garland.
Amanda makes these fantastic typewriter words by meticulously typing each one on an old typewriter on vintage paper. I used the Christmas set and added them to snowflake ornaments that I had left over from last year. I misted them with Glimmer Mist for an aged look.
Along with a canvas pennant album by Maya Road, I used Scrap Rat's small book pages as pennants. Embellished with accordian flowers, velvet leaves, and sparkly letters, I'm kind of hoping that Christmas comes soon so that I can hang this pretty garland where everyone can enjoy it.
I think I'll hang it over an evergreen swag. The deep green will really highlight the perfectly aged edges of the papers. I strung each piece on a strand of cream pearl trim and the ends are tied with vintage ribbon from Scrap Rat. I love the vintage-y look!
Scrap Rat is being featured on the
Paper Craft Inspirations Magazine blog today. The review is well worth the read, especially since you'll find a coupon code :). I hope you'll take a look and then venture on over to the
shop. Amanda is filling her shelves with all sorts of fantastic things. And more is on the way that I am really excited about (but can't share yet!).
I hope your Tuesday is a good one! Tessa
this is just LOVELY!
