Do you look upon your grandparents’ Christmas tree with adoration and wonder why such care isn’t put into ornaments of today? How’d you like to create something just as wonderful for your own Christmas tree? Rose Waterrose, of Waterrose Designs, shares the cutest take on embroidered Christmas ornaments. And the best part is that if you can draw basic shapes, you can create them, too!

Do you tend to run away screaming when bugs invade your personal space? I don’t scream, but I do tend to jump and move out of their way. So who knew I’d find this collective collage of bugs and insects so adorable!
Lenna Young Andrews, of Creative Lenna, gives you a quick recap of how she created a quick mini-collage in her moleskin journal. What inspired me about this post was her admission of having difficulty getting started with an arts ‘n crafts project and how easily things begin to fall into place once she actually digs in.

Kelly Warren, of The Happy Shack, shares her take on participating in Round Robin journal projects—think Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, only with artsy stuff. One look at the pages in this post and you won’t be able to stop yourself from organizing an event of your own!

Isn’t this the cutest fabric postcard? Dale Anne Potter created this postcard using fabric she had stashed away and forgotten about. What a great way to save money and clear the clutter.

Angela Huddart over at Angela’s Textile Art made these absolutely stunning thread-painted silver birch tree leaves and the above thread-painted butterfly with the help of heavyweight Lutradur and a soldering iron. She then incorporates these thread-painted elements into her art quilts and ATCs with amazing results.

I couldn’t leave this month’s round-up without sharing a post from my very own blog. My daughter shares how she created this quick collage over on my blog, Coming Home With Alyice Edrich.
I think this would make a great t-shirt and may just surprise her by using Lesley Riley’s TAP® Transfer Artist Paper.
These are just a few of the amazing projects our Creative Troupe members have been creating.
