I hope you like what you see, feel free to browse my other posts, and if you'd like to keep coming back, I hope you become a follower! 

In honor of the approaching Christmas holiday, we're having a "Deck The Halls" Crawl...each Design Team member will be featuring an original Christmas/Holiday-themed project that could be used to decorate and spruce up their homes for the Holiday Season!

If you've come from visiting  Leigh at My Scrappy Journey, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE.

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Deck The Halls" project at FCCB!

I hope you join us for all the fun!

Now for my project...

I wanted to be unique and different, but I was lacking inspiration (I'm in definite need of some scrapping time with my friends!) and I kept looking around my craft basket trying to find something to create with no luck.  I knew I wanted to create something for my wall and I wanted to include pictures because I'm all about scrapping, all the time! LOL!  Then I came across this piece of foam that I had kept (its from the packaging of some furniture I had bought) after my sister had advised me that I could use it with some decorative paper and hang it on my wall.  So that became the springboard for my project...

I had some beautiful paper in a My Mind's Eye Christmas paper stack I had recently bought at Michael's so I arranged it like this...

In order to be sure the paper really stayed on, I used tacky tape...

I decided to scrap pictures of Christmas past in collage form that I could update/replace/add to every year if I wanted to.  I wanted a "Christmas"-y title and I went to one of my new cartridges (which I am in love with!), Winter Frolic, that had a great phrase and an adorable snowman (my favorite!).  To attach it to the wall, I made a bow out of polka dot ribbon and hot glued it to the back of the foam.  I brought two frames I had hanging in my front room down, hung up my new Christmas Wall Hanging and voila!

Here is a close up of the title.  It is stickled and the snowman is popped (of course, hence the title of my blog!).  I also added a little white flocking to the top of the letters "Christmas" to replicate fallen snow, but you can't really see it in the photo...

The bottom collage is from Christmas 2009...

And here is another angle of my project on my wall...
