Instead of traditional red and green for the holidays, add some purples to the mix.
I wore a lavender shirt and added some red cluster shabby flower clip from Guthrie Girls Boutique on FB for a festive look.
I wore mostly green in this outfit and then added a purple yoyo grey necklace from Domestic Vixen on FB.
What other non-traditional color combos have you tried for the Christmas season?

Christmas Fabric Ruffle Totes
Here are some Christmas Fabric Ruffle Totes I made recently. I love doing these mini totes - super quick and easy for me =)
Here's the tutorial again if you haven't seen these: http://www.scatteredthoughtsofacraftymom.com/2012/02/no-sew-ruffle-tote-with-tutorial-and_22.html
For mine, I just use my Pinking Shears to cut all around the fabric instead of folding it. Also I don't make marks, I just move it together and see where it ruffles - that way I always have a unique tote =)...or I'm just lazy =D
A large one would make a great gift - fill it with crafting/sewing supplies for that crafter in your life.
Or make a mini one - perfect for a little girl. Fill it with candy, little toys, and more. I think I'll make some for my son's preschool class since they're mostly girls in his class!

79th Mommy Mondays
I tried so hard not to dwell on the story. As soon as I read more about those teachers who tried to protect the kids, I couldn't help but cry. Been hugging my kids a little harder and trying to live in those special moments with them.

Paper Wall Flowers
I was inspired by these Scrapbook Wall Flowers pinned here. I made these for my second Saturday scrapbook class I teach =). These were back from May! Sometimes I make so many projects at once that I forget to post about them =).
Instead of using cardboard, I used the wooden flowers that I bought from Pick your Plum a while ago.
Then I followed her tutorial for the most part. =)
I used my trusty glue dots to hold the petal down, but hot glue may have been better since these are pinched. I laid them out on my wooden flower to see how it wood look.
On the back of the wooden flower, I added a bunch of flat flowers. For the center, I used scrap strips like a pinwheel. Then I added some bling to the petals. Then I made a second flower that exposed more wood instead of covering it all with paper. I used a circle stamp for a textured look.
