Welcome Home for the Holidays

 
Welcome to the Robin's Nest and Helmar Home for the Holidays Blog Hop!  I'm so happy you have stopped by. You should have visited Carisa's blog before coming here. 
 
I love the holidays!  I especially look forward to the decorating.  The beautiful ornaments and glistening lights bring a joy and happiness to the season for me.  This little Christmas tree was made using products from The Robin's Nest and will be a part of our decorating this year in our home.  I've been liking the color blue for Christmas this year and decided to make the tree in various blue tones so I chose to use the Glitter Winter Snowflakes paper, Glitter Snowflake Stripe paper and the White Snow Glitter Card Stock.  I added some Glitter Swirl paper to the inbetween pieces on the tree.  I, also, love the snow so these papers were perfect to include that theme,too.  The tree was topped off with 2 glitter white and silver snowflakes and decorated using some Clear, Pearl White and Indigo Diamond Dews.  Helmar's Quick Dry and Gemstone adhesives were used to assemble and decorate the entire tree.   The Quick Dry glue allowed everything to hold into place quickly which helped speed up the time to assemble this piece.

  2. Hi Peg, your rosette tree is just fabulous, and I just love the way you have used the dew drops to embellish this. Blue is one of my all time favorite colors for Christmas so I can't wait to see what other things you create in the countdown to Christmas for your home this year! xx
