This will be so much fun!! :) I hope you will enjoy these 12 days full of home decors,last minute gifts and much more ideas!!! :)

If you arrived here from Cathryn,then you are going in the right direction.If not,please start at Emma's Blog!!!

My first project are these cute little paper christmas tree's!! They are only 2.5 inch tall.You can of course make them any size you want,but i used my Spellbinders scalloped circles.I had cut out 4 circles,and then cut them in half to create cylinders,and just glued them together! I used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink for the edges.I then stamped these cute little images,from My Creative Time's All Around Christmas Stamp Set and colored them!! You can of course glitter them,or put little embellies on them,but i really liked them as simple as they are! :)

Stamp Set i've used:
