Silhouette America's Black Friday Deal and Paper Christmas Ornaments

Black Friday! Are you out taking advantage of the sales?  I don’t brave the cold, the lines, the crowds or the wait. When you’re reading this, I might be snug in my bed dreaming of shopping. I might be sitting here catching up with blog posts and waiting for you to comment, wishing I had a Cameo to give away (but I don’t).  More than likely, I’m painting walls. 

I received the details of Silhouette America’s Black Friday deals.  Then I thought of you. Then I decided to make some ornaments using my Cameo because I love this machine…

Then, I thought…it’d be fun to create some ornaments for one lucky DIY Show Off reader. And because you’re reading my post today (HAPPY FRIDAY! Thanks so much for stopping by!), I thought I’d do a little giveaway.  It not much, just a small  holiday surprise for one reader. Using my Cameo, I’ll cut out some paper ornaments (some assembly may be required) to coordinate with the winner’s decor.

Lately I’ve been using red and lime green for my Christmas decorating. For my wreath this year, I think I’ll use orange since that’s the color I painted my front door!

    DIY Holiday Highlights Linky Party ~ Empty Fireplace Card Holder and Vintage Soda Crate Advent Calendar

     

    When I decorated my dining room for Emily Henderson’s Holiday Guide  a few months ago, I added in a couple of easy holiday DIY projects. (Have you checked it out? So many great holiday ideas from DIY, decorating, entertainment, gift suggestions, etc.)

    Advent Calendar
    An old vintage soda crate has 24 boxes. I turned it on its side, added stamped numbered boxes and let the countdown begin, with sweet little gifts inside…

    Favor boxes found in the baking section of Michaels.

    DIY Show Off Holiday Highlights Linky Party

     
     
    There’s snow in the weather forecast and I can’t hold off any longer. Time to crank the Christmas carols and get into the Christmas spirit! I’ve heard about some other blog linky holiday parties coming up! If you have one coming up, please send me the info! I’d love to share them during my holiday feature so spread the holiday cheer!  
     
     
    Who’s thinking about the holidays?  There are 44 days until Christmas. We have a vacation coming up before that, so my plan is to have my decorating done in November. I know I’ve seen a few holiday related posts out there and it’s rubbing off.  I’m ready for Christmas music, twinkly lights and holiday decorating. I recently decorated my dining room for Emily Henderson’s Holiday Guide. Then took it down and decorated for Fall and I’m ready to take that down and start all over again.  Crazy, isn’t it? Here are some of my pictures from the feature:
    Natural elements, fresh pine and candles.
     
     
    Centerpiece is made up of paper mache reindeer on a bed of pine, 
    some brown glass bottles hold candles, 
    some serve as bud vases for fresh white roses.
     
    Monogrammed placecards:  Stamped book page square, pine sprig tied with ribbon…
    Simple but festive…
     
     
     
    Even the light fixture looks festive! 
    Holiday themed vinyl cutouts on white plates can be changed to reflect any season.



    What do you think?
     
    Next week, I’ll share a few tutorials of some DIY decorating projects in our dining room.
