Holiday Home Through The Seasons Home Decor Frame - and my last Design Team post over at The Paper Players!

by Joanne James7. December 2014 07:00

It's Sunday and time for my Design Team post over at The Paper Players - and my last one, as my 6 month post has come to an end, boo hoo! These ladies have been an awesome bunch of people to work with and are a source of immense talent and inspiration. I shall miss designing with them, but will of course continue to play along with their weekly challenges.

This week Nance has a great challenge for us, to see out the end of the year in style - it is a 'black tie' challenge, to showcase holiday projects that are fancy:

I am sharing a rather different project today, which is not Christmas-specific but was designed using the Holiday Home stamp set and co-ordinating framelits from the Autumn-Winter seasonal catalogue and would make a lovely Christmas present to celebrate each and every season. Judging by the time it took me to complete it, I think it definitely qualifies as fancy! I made a 3D frame with a house for each month of the year, each one celebrating the seasons and events relevant to each month.

Here is my completed frame:

Each month is a little mini piece of artwork all by itself, with everything from a snowman and the winter snow to the shamrocks for St Patricks Day, summer sunshine and holiday aeroplanes to the autumn apple harvest, Halloween pumpkins and Santa and his reindeer and lots more in between. Each section uses a variety of papers, ribbons, embossing and colouring - far too many to list! If you have specific questions on any of the rectangles, please leave a comment below or drop me an email and I will be happy to provide further detail.

I hope you like my final Paper Players Design Team project; hop on over to the challenge blog to see what the others have come up with this week - as always there are some amazing projects! Do continue to visit and see what I come up with for future challenges as a participant and to the rest of the lovely Paper Players team and other guest designers, thanks a bunch ladies - you are all awesome and it's been a real pleasure working with you!

Back tomorrow with another project; until then, happy stampin'!

Oh my goodness, Joanne! This definately qualifies as fancy! How wonderful that you made a box for each month of the year. Such wonderful eye candy! Thanks for being part of our team for the last six months. I've enjoyed crafting with you, and each and every one of your beautiful creations! Hugs!

This is absolutely adorable, Joanne! It doesn't get any cuter than this. What a perfect gift this would make! Quick question...what size are the rectangles? I have loved having you on the Design Team. Your work was always wonderful. I will miss your creativity and inspiration...

This has GOT to be the most clever little project I've ever seen.....I didn't realize when I saw it on the PP blog that each house was for a month of the year! That makes it even CUTER! How much time you must have spent on it...but what a priceless work of stampin' art! I LOVE it!

I would like to know the size of the rectangles. I pinned this earlier in the year, but I think I would like to get started on it for Christmas gifts. It is really lovely! Thanks
