I added a Merry Christmas banner to my office decorating for this year. I have set up the nativity a couple of years now.
The banner was created by cutting the letters from gold card stock with the Cricut and the CM Tiny Treasures cartridge. Then I layered them onto eggplant card stock which made the letter that color. Once pressed, I then trimmed the purple card stock by hand leaving a small border all the way around. I punched 1/8" holes in each corner and strung them onto a gold ribbon. I want to add a star but did not get to it yet.
I've submitted to the Anything but a card Challenge at Fantabulous Cricut.

Photo - Office Decorating - Nativity
We are having a office decorating contest at work and I created this display on the floor tucked into a nook at the front of my desk. A friend lent me the nativity set which is unbreakable and about 12-14 inches high. I struggled on what to use for background but this morning I realized I had heavy weight wrapping paper in navy that would do just great. I spritzed it with Maya Mist in Snow White then adhered it to the nook in the front of my desk with double sided tape. I added white fiberfill snow then covered it with is gold mesh fabric. Works very well. I added Mary, Jesus and Joseph and the 3 Wisemen. I added the green garland which is the same one I used last year. I found a coppery gold foil gift bag the other day which worked with the some of the color on the head coverings on the Wisemen. I cut the central Bethlehem star by hand then die cut the others with a Sizzix star die which provided 3 different sizes. Adhered those along the sky. I added a tree made with a Styrofoam form covered with foil gift wrap paper. I added a bamboo skewer through the center to hold the die cut star at the top. I added some sequin held in place with pearl straight pins.
