Share a Crafting Link

share a crafting link :: early bird challenge
christmas scrapbook page
Yesterday’s early bird challenge asked you to share a link to a favourite Christmas project of your own… today, let’s widen the circle a bit. What idea have you seen that made you really want to make a certain project for Christmas? Today, share a link to somewhere out there in the big world of the internet! It can be something made by a friend or something you just stumbled upon while surfing!

To enter leave a comment (no widget box for this challenge) with a link to a Christmas project you have seen and loved! Easy. From all the links posted, one will be randomly chosen to win a $10 gift certificate to Two Peas to choose some new scrapping stash!

Be quick – this challenge ends tonight, not next weekend like the other challenges.

By the way, two things about leaving a comment here that might be helpful:
1. You need to press the preview button first, then submit. That solves 99% of troubles.
2. To make your link clickable, you can write it like this: "Text here":http://webaddresshere – and just leave one link so it doesn’t get flagged as spam. (But if you just want to paste the link in, that’s fine for this challenge – it just won’t be clickable. I’m fine with either!)

I hope you’re ready for a fun-filled crafty Sunday! I’ll be right back with our first tutorial post of the day!

Now… what link will you share?

    I found a couple of things I would love to try and make this Christmas. One is here http://creativebreathing.blogspot.com/2010/12/snowmen-on-me-monday.html it’s a snowman ornament very adoreable and scroll a little down and you will find the instructions whether I can gather the bits to have a go is debatable lol

  3. Annette Says:

    Great fun! Here’s what I loved and did make from Shabby Art Boutique. http://shabbyartboutique.blogspot.com

  4. jennifer grace Says:

    I’ve always loved advent calendars… so definitely looking at this printable DIY one

    There are so many tutorials though, I keep bookmarking!

  9. hannahk Says:

    I’ve been keeping this link as christmas eye candy and now may just be the time to actually make my own gift toppers http://www.designsponge.com/2010/12/diy-project-gift-toppers.html

  10. Lisa-Jane Johnson Says:

    So many wonderful things out there but this little project caught my eye because I can do it with the children – cute hanging Christmas trees from patterened paper! http://sjpapercrafts.blogspot.com/2011/11/christmas-decorations.html

  11. Gabrielle L Says:

    Never made one before as I always felt it was for people who have kids. I saw Amy Tan’s album from last year and of course see that you’re doing one, too! So I may just give it a go after all! Yay!

  12. mariangeles_spain Says:

    Just one Xmas project I love?? Let me tell you I have a better idea :D
    A link to my Pinterest Christmas Stuff board!!! LOL
    I hope this is valid entry…

  13. Neelu Says:

    I’ve been wanting to make this for so long!! I think I should just go ahead and DO it! ;)

  14. cate Says:

    because it doesn’t snow in Australia

  15. Rachel B Says:

    There is so much I want to make, however this is adorable and think my three year old will get very excited about it! Christmas crafting here I come! :)

  16. Valentina Says:

    I would love to do this gorgeous wreath:

  17. Renata Pacheco Says:

    It’s difficult to choose one project. What I really really like is to complete one Journal your Christmas from the begining to the end at least one year!

  18. Miriam Prantner Says:

    I’ve seen so many good ideas, but this one I thought was really simple, cute, and DOABLE: http://scrappybetties.blogspot.com/2011/10/little-sisterly-love.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+scrappybetties+%28scrappybetties%29

  19. doreen Says:

    So many beautiful projects out there, but since time is tight, this looked like a cute easy one that looks elegant! http://www.marthastewart.com/269724/holly-napkin-holders

  20. Margaret C Says:

    A Christmas banner. Just like the one a couple of posts ago…:D

  21. Heather D Says:

    I and the kids are going to make a set of Christmas trees. We’re going to use paper, ribbon, and buttons. Here’s one inspiration:

    Take a look at the snowman “sampler” I had made. This is a take on a crosstitch sampler only made with paper.

  24. Jane Says:

    I think these are pretty cute.

  25. Gina Ames Says:

    This is the first year I’m going to try a December Daily Album. I have been very inspired by Ali Edwards foundation pages. She has posted them here. http://aliedwards.com/2011/11/december-daily-2011-the-foundation-pages-part-two.html I’ve already printed my base pages and have begun looking at shapes I want to cut with my Silhouette. I’m excited! :)

  26. Mel Says:

    Oh Shimelle, that’s easy :) No matter how little I’ve thought about Christmas up until this point every year, when you post about Journal Your Christmas I get enthused and excited again – and, of course, the project I want to get on and make is my JYC album for this year! :)

  27. naomi Says:

    I love all the gifts made in jars – esp the cookies and cake mixes!! Two I like are http://www.nofussfabulous.com/?p=9435 and http://www.squidoo.com/desert-gifts-in-a-jar

  28. Julie Kelley Says:

    “Glass Ornaments filled with twirled paper. I saw this last year and just fell in love with it. It’s gorgeous. I was inspired so much that I did it for myself this year to had out with presents. The picture is from the original from someone else’s blog. I highly recommend looking”: http://www.alldressedupphotography.com/blog/?p=3009

  32. Carlijn Says:

    I really love the Hero Arts Advent Calender on their blog. I first need to have a Silhouette ;), but I hope to find another creative way to make a nice Advent Calendar!

  33. tilla Says:

    Probably left taking Xmas photos too late – again ! but maybe we can scratch something like this together ?

    My scrappy friend made these sweet Christmas books, which inpired me to make a Thankful/ Thanksgiving version. I plan on making a December version too! Here’s her post. And what I made.

  38. Angela Hathikhanavala Says:

    I found this button garland kit over at Paper Source, but instead of just buying it, I could totally make this will all my christmas paper stash!

    I love everything that Laura from Following the Paper Trail does, but this teeny album is way too cute and I made one two weeks ago – it is really simple

    I absolutely love this Advent Calendar project of Rachel’s and am trying my hardest to get more Christmas films into our collection so I can make one of my own!

    This pop-out box would be great for a small Christmas present.

  47. Lena K Says:

    I want to make this so much! But I will probably make the doilies with my Silhouette and then harden them with mod podge instead

  48. rockchickhelen Says:

    I loved Alissa Fast’s JYC 2010

  49. Peggy Says:

    I came across this gorgeous altered book project on the Two Peas site, as part of their “Stamping A to Z” event. It appears there under X (for X-acto knife), but Anna-Karin has also posted it on her blog.

  50. Iris Says:

    This is so cute and I absolutely want those wreaths on my door!

  51. Gina Says:

    I saw this idea last year and made up keepsake booklets of all the Christmas cards I have received over the years. I had them in bags labeled for each year, but I was looking for the perfect way to keep and display them from year to year. I also keep a set of the current Christmas postage stamps that come out each holiday season. My grandmother kept tons of her old cards and letters and I love looking back at all the vintage style. (and the tiny postage costs!)

  52. Melinda T Says:

    There’s so much that I want to do for the holidays! My list is growing longer by the minute! But this is definitely something I plan to do with my dd for her kindergarten class! http://www.iheartnaptime.net/2011/11/snowman-gift/

  53. Gina Says:

    Here is my most recent favourite product from the lovely Monica.

  63. Ann Says:

    I love the idea of giving a gift such as these cookies in a jar. Great for neat presents for the teachers at school and I can add a patterned paper wrap for the jar too!

  64. Olivia Says:

    Being in my own flat for the first time this Christmas I’m looking forward to decorating it for the festive season. I’d love to make a wreath like this one I saw on the Prima blog:

  66. Chipper Says:

    I am probably too late, but thought I would share this anyway. I want to make this cookie tray advent calendar or something like it. Christmas cookies are a huge part of our Christmas and I think this idea is neat.

  67. Lisa M. Zepponi Says:

    ok for the risk of being seen as a brown noser, I am still going to put down Shimelle’s Journal Your Christmas! http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1284/journal-your-christmas-2011-online-scrapbooking-class/ as my link for an inspiring Christmas project. Until this weekend, I was NOT inspired to think about Christmas (which is very out of character for me!). The other link would have to be http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/12daysofchristmas.php Sorry these are the ONLY 2 things that have inspired me regarding Christmas! Thanks Shimelle!

  68. Rachel H Says:

    I’ve seen all sorts of cute projects with Scrabble tiles and I’ve been wanting to try them! I found these cute Christmas ornaments…such a great idea for little gifts. I guess I’m off to Goodwill to search for old Scrabble sets!:
