Christmasification

I'm really not very crafty, but since I have nothing but time for the next week and a half, I decided to Christmasify my picture frames.

First, I borrowed the free "Keep Calm and Carol On" print from Craftily Ever After (love her!). I just turned it black, rather than red, for a graphic look:

For my glass vase, I simply loaded it with leftover Christmas ornaments in chartreuse, turquoise, and peacock colors:

I wanted to make my own "Keep Calm" print, so I googled what font was used for these posters. Then, I simply typed my message in Gills Sans font and copied and pasted a clip art image at the top. Here's what I came up with:

I printed this out and slipped it in one of the frames in my dining room.

I wanted to create some other personalized artwork too, so I went to wordle.net and typed in words that remind me of our Christmases together. I added two clip art snowflakes on both of the wordles I created and popped them in the frames. Here's what I came up with:

and:

Here's a closer view of the second one:

This pretty much sums up our favorite holiday traditions, from watching "Love Actually", to making waffles during our private Christmas, to putting on our faux fire!

And speaking of her faux fire, Dan and I switched it on for our private Christmas, which we did this morning:

Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!
