Here is my project that I've created.... 
 
Cricut, Celebrations, Christmas Home Decor

I decided to create a Home Decor piece using a 6x6 tile from Home Depot.  I used Mod Podge to adhere the pretty green background paper.  My present comes from the Celebrations cartridge and I have to say it is my MOST FAVORITE present cut that I have!!!!  My pattern paper is from Hobby Lobby open stock 12x12.  I cut it at 5" along with the shadow, which was cut out of some cream cardstock.  I inked around the edges of both my green b/g paper and cream shadow using Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress ink.  My tag was created by printing the saying "The Magic of Christmas is not in the Presents but in His Presence" on some cream cardstock just from my computer.  I cut it to the size I wanted, then just rounded the corners on one end with my large corner rounder from Hobby Lobby.  I also inked around my tag with the same ink.  My sheer cream ribbon is also from Hobby Lobby and I premade then attached the bow with a glue dot.  I used foam tape to pop up the present off of the tile for some added dimension.  My two red flat back pearls are from Michael's.  I really love the simplicity of this decor piece, and I LOVE the message!!!  I hope you become a follower and continue (or start) the hop!!!

Thanks so much for hopping with us this weekend!!!
