Merry Christmas, friends.
Hope you're having a good holiday with your friends and family.
It's my first California Christmas, so unfortunately it doesn't look like this!

Favorite Things : #6 Stars
Thursday, December 22, 2011
Like most of my favorite Christmas things, this too involves paper - it's another reminder of how much I love it. We didn't have a star for the top of our tree so I decided I had to make one - and it matches the paper garland and gift wrap. The combination of the brown paper and the green are perfect.

Favorite Things : #5 Paper Goods

I had a blast designing and creating Christmas cards for both my parents and in-laws. It's fun how much each person looks like themselves - even though it's just our face's and hair. Make sure to check out more images here.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011
My obsession with Kraft paper continues with gift wrapping! Adding a bit of gold makes this natural brown paper extra festive.

Loving all the not so perfect Christmas trees and their scraps.

Favorite Things : #2 Paper Garland
This favorite Christmas thing combines with one of my always favorite things : paper!
I made this paper garland by punching circles from kraft paper (with a scrapbooking tool) and fed the circles through my sewing machine in one long line. I think when Christmas is over, these little guys won't be put away like the rest of the decorations.
