12 Days of Christmas Giveaways - Day Eight
Congratulations Renee you are today's winner! "These projects are just the thing I need to start thinking about homemade gifts for 2008. Thank you for sharing these projects, and stoking my creativity. My favorite BE is still SAM which of course I can't find anywhere because it's sold out, and until yestderday I was unaware your selection of the glitter paper so this is my new favorite. Thanks again!"
I love the Bare Elements train that was created by our design team member, Tammy Gray. She combines the Marah Johnson's Rock Star collection and Narratives cream collection for a perfect addition to her Christmas decorations.
Christmas at the Gray's home is quite simple and nostalgic. We have one child and we often have my brother over, who is single. The four of us eat our individual Christmas quiches, wait for my husband to finally get around to making the coffee and enjoy being together. For us, Christmas really is not about the gifts per say, but all about togetherness. Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

WOW! Now that is a really cute idea! I love this project and I would never have thought to use these papers for this either! Very cool and creative! I think this train just became my new favorite BE item and I think I'd love to decorate it with some of the Christine Adolph holiday papers!

My absolute favorite is all things Narrative, they're so versatile. My desk needs tidying up and I think the BE Sam box might just be the ticket.

That train is Da Bomb! The creativity abounds here and this is my new favorite scrappy blog to stalk!
I absolutely love the Sam chipboard box - it will be perfect for a family recipe box I have been collecting recipes and embellishments for. It's on my list of things to create in '08. But I have to admit, I'm still in love with your calendars!
