Baby's First Christmas--Adorable Gift to Make!

I am the author of Mixed Media Art: Living Your Passion --a best-seller on Amazon for $2.99. In this ebook, you can learn about myriad creative projects and where to get images and materials for your art.

I am a gallery artist and love teaching others about mixed media projects that they can make easily. While this next project is time-consuming, I think it is so special that it is worth the time spent.

I painted a baby shoe and then, sprinkled glitter over the entire surface. Burlap and lace were tucked inside and then a ribbon of curly seam binding and a mulberry paper rose gave it just the right amount of shabby goodness.

But, today when I got an order that needed to be personalized, I used little beads to spell the precious baby's name....

But, this wasn't my idea...It was my good friend Linda's from Random Creativity! Go HERE to take a look at the fabulous shoes she made!

Mackenzie's grandparents' names were put on the back so that she will have it as a keepsake her whole life~and a personalized snowflake completes the Christmas theme.

I hope you have fun making one for a little bundle of joy who is special in your own life!

All of these items are in my Etsy shop...See the little shoe? It could make an adorable commemoration of "Baby's 1st Christmas."

And here are some special journals--so fun to write in...

and some treasures that were so fun to make.

Thanks so much for visiting~I went to the post office today and all the winning prizes for Victorian Christmas that were posted yesterday were sent to their recipients.
