A finished Bella class project & a post-Bella giveaway

I promise, one of these days I'm finally going to SHUT UP ALREADY about Silver Bella...but it ain't gonna be today! :) Last night I finally finished my class projects from Rebecca Sower's "Christmas Vignettes" class. We made six 3" x 5" collages using all kinds of fun embellishments and vintage images. The class was so easy--Rebecca gave very thorough instructions and I glued and punched happily until I ended up with these:

Click to enlarge the photo so you can see all the pretty details up close. Each collage is made to hang so I'm going to have to come up with a way to display them all. They were such fun, so creatively satisfying and something that I think I can definitely replicate. I'm so glad I got to take the class! Rebecca is a lovely person and a pro at teaching. One down, four more unfinished Bella projects to go...

To spread the gospel of Bella, I have a little package to give away! It includes a class kit from the lovely Carolyn Peeler for her "Look at Frosty Go" class (these were selling for $40 but Carolyn graciously gave a few away as we were heading for the airport) that makes a cute little stuffed snowman, a pair of fancy Melissa Frances flip-flops (size 7/8, a gift in our Bella goodie bag), a December back issue of Country Living (since the CL editors were our guests for the weekend), a few of the tags I made for the Bella tag swap, and some chocolate, because all good mail includes chocolate. :) If you'd like to enter, just leave a comment on this post and I'll bring out the ol' Goblet of Fire for a drawing on Thursday!
