Ornaments for your Tree!


designer: Petra Offrell


As the season approaches we all start getting out
our decorations, thinking of starting a Christmas list and remembering
our favorite things from last year and the traditions that we
hold so dear!

One of our favorite Traditions is putting up our
Christmas trees and filling them with lots of pretty ornaments.
So all the B.C. designers got out their best papers, scissors, Helmar glue
and lots and lots of stickers and created some fun ideas for you!



You can use already purchased snowflakes
and die cut glittery ones to layer on it. Just add ribbon
and some silver beads and its ready to hang up on the tree....



Using the scenes on our winter paper made it easy
to cover this purchased paper mache ornament
and just add our stick on words and lots of ribbon
and extra snowflakes.


designer: Katarina Damm

Making folded shaped ornaments is an easy way to create
lots of them to put on a tree. Just cut out the shape out of gorgeous
paper, glue it together and add pretty flowers and ribbons.


designer: Rita Barakat

Rita cut this ornament out of our icicle paper and glued it
around the edges and hand stuffed it with a pencil to give
it a puffy and more 3 dimentional look. She added extra glitter
and this cute snowman stamp from Whipper Snapper
to finish it off. Really cute!!



designer: Alicia Barry
This cute ornament is a Wish Box that you can hang on a tree
and have your kids fill with little pieces of paper that have their own wishes
for Santa or whatever else they may want to come true.
And then get everyone together and
see if any of them come true
after the season is over :)


This beautiful star is also made with a paper mache
ornament and we added paper and our gorgeous white glitter
peel off stickers to make it super glitzy and shiny for our tree.



You don't always have to paint wooden ornaments.
You can photo copy the shape and then cut apart the
pieces and use them for patterns. Trace them out on different
patterned papers and glitter papers and glue with a
good all around glue like Helmar craft glue.


Here is another purchased wooden ornament
covered with our glitter dot and snowflake papers
and then added our chipboard snowman and some
silver snowflake stickers.



designer: Ann-Katrin

You can even design your own ornaments by creating
your own paper pattern and cutting it out like Ann-Katrin
did with this pretty glittery striped ornament!


designer: Kim Holmes

Kim created this beautiful country star out of lots
of bits and pieces of different papers and added a cute
button in the center and a ribbon to tie it to the tree.


designer: Julie Walton

Another great idea for an ornament is to cover a simple
picture frame and hang something in the center.
Julie hung a really cute tree and a few flowers
and added some netting at the top too.


Glass bulb ornaments are easy to make by just
adding stickers of different sizes or even colors.
We used our snowflake peel off stickers that come in
gold and silver and topped it off with pretty ribbon and bells.



designer: Tracey Taylor

How fun and easy it would be to use our glitter paper
and make lots of these cute accordian pleated ornaments
for your tree. Add fun embellishments to the center
of each and a ribbon to tie it up.




This ornament is quick and easy and
made with our Christmas border papers.
It is cut from a Sizzix die and we just added
a simple silver sentiment on the top...

These are quick and easy for kids to do too!


Both of these are also made with die cuts
from Sizzix. Our glitter papers cut super easy
with no mess and beads and rhinestones adhere
really easy to it to make a cute glistening, shining ornament!


Best Creation has lots of glittery peel off stickers
to use on all kinds of your favorite craft projects.
They come in gold or silver and we even carry an iridescent
white that works great on lots of colors.




We hope that we inspired you to sit down this weekend
with family or friends and make some really special ornaments for your tree
and who knows- maybe you can start a new tradition for your family!

Have a great weekend and Thanks for stopping by!!

New Guest Designer for November

As cold as it is in the snow and as hard as it is to
get places sometimes sure takes a back seat
to the sometimes breathtaking scenes that we can
see when you have a first snowfall or even when you are
caught as big giant snowflakes fall effortlessly from the sky on you!
It is truly a gorgeous thing to behold!!

We have a few more pages to share using our Winter Collections
and a very special guest designer this month.

Her name is Debbie Sherman and she has been scrapbooking
for about 20 years now, and claims it is her greatest passion.
She loves photography and stays in touch with her grandchildren
by scrapbooking their photos to stay current since they live so far away.



Guest Designer for November

Debbie Sherman





Debbie gets her inspiration from people, places and things
around her. Her favorites are flea markets, vintage homes,
museums and inspiration from her favorite scrappers!
Best description of her style is a Shabby Romantic look!
She loves to layer her papers as you can tell and loves
to create lots of textures and distressing.

Don't you just love her pages!!



designer: Karen Thind

There is lots of fussy cutting going on this page
and we love the cute window that Karen cut in the paper
to put the photo in... Great idea!


designer: Petra Offrell

For this page Petra cut several strips of the house border paper,
sanded the edges and put it all around the outside edge.
She punched the branches and used all the Best Creation
Winter collection papers to create a monocromatic look!
She used Punchinella under the photo and used
painted gesso for the letters!







designer: Rita Barakat

Taking pictures of your child's favorite things may not
seem like a big deal now but someday this photo will be
absolutely priceless to them. Be sure and include lots of journaling
to remember the story just like they would have told it too!


We hope you have a wonderful
and creative weekend!

The Magic of Snowflakes

It's amazing how each and every snowflake can be different
if you look close enough and to create them is even
more fun and can make some beautiful and really
creative pages for you and your friends.

Today we are showing you pages made with
the beautiful crystal icy blues of our Winter Collection
and fun ways to add snowflakes and flowers
on your pages.



designer: Alicia Barry



Instead of buying premade snowflakes you can
cut them out of a sheet of paper and vary the different
shapes and sizes and pop them up with clear Helmar scrap dots
so that you can't see them underneath.



Both the trees and the snowman are cut out
from our papers!



supplies: Glitter Papers 177, 430, 083
EC 005 chipboard stickers



designer: Tracey Taylor

supplies: glitter papers 083, 437
silver glitter cardstock, lace, rhinestones, doilies


designer: Petra Offrell

Our papers are also great for everyday pictures-
where in this photo you absolutely catch the brilliant blue
of his eyes by the colors in the papers.

Notice all the beautiful details that Petra added into
her layout. Flowers, border punches, pearls
and lots and lots of fussy cutting!


supplies: Glitter papers 432, 435, 438


designer: Julie Walton

Julie created this layout with our glitter cardstock
and cut out lots and lots of cricut snowflakes to
make this beautiful and magical looking snow scene!
And it is easy to do on your Cricut with either a deep cut blade
or you can use a regular blade with a deep setting
and use the muli cut setting to go through the design
a couple of times.. Don't forget Sizzix dies too. The papers
cut like butter in the dies so be sure and try some....


supplies: Glitter paper 433 (backround)
Glitter card stock 007, 012, 008

Thanks for stopping by and we hope you
try a few of these on your layouts this weekend.
