SO, onto my project for DAY 7!! Totally wanted to use Sparkle and Shine from Close To My Heart, but I was pulling out my decorations yesterday and I found a decoration that broke and I wanted to make a new one! So, I jumped into Cricut Craft Room, used Cricut Font and Basic Shapes and cut out the work JOY. Then, I took some Pledge and a clear ornament from Michaels and some red glitter and made an ornament. I found some fun patterned holiday paper (this paper is SUPER OLD and I recreated the appearance of my favorite decoration). Next, I put the pattern paper into a size 8 X 10 and put it into a 8 X 10 size frame! After that I hot glued the ornament onto the glass part of the frame and I used adhesive to put the letters to the glass of the frame. BAM! My project was done!!! I hope you like it!!

Here is what my project looks like!

Now, even though I did not use the SPARKLE AND SHINE items, you can STILL click the shopping cart to be taken to my Close To My Heart online store where you can get your OWN Sparkle and Shine items!!!!! Remember, I have an open December Mystery Hostess party that is open!!! Place you order under that party for a chance to win ALL the hostess rewards!!!!
