The Gamut of Goddess: Domestic Goddess Creations by Christie Bryant

Hello Fantastic Crafters,

We hope you all had a lovely and restful Thanksgiving holiday. I was so excited to start decorating for the holidays that I went right out and bought a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. I went full on with the decorating and spent most of the afternoon trimming the tree, sipping hot chocolate and listening to orchestral Christmas music. I'm a firm believer that decorating and crafting go hand in hand. Both require an artistic sense of curiosity and playfulness. Both are relaxing and productive ways to spend time. And there's nothing quite like having something beautiful and unique to show for all your efforts. In my case, a beauitful Christmas tree was a reward all its own. Next step is to create some terrific craft gifts to put under the tree! 

Speaking of holiday crafting project, we wanted to remind you all that there's only a couple of days left to enter our November Challenge.  We're challenging your savvy minds to create an advent calendar or a 2011 month to month calendar utilizing at least 50% Graphic 45 product.

Today's craft inspiration comes to us from Christie Bryant. Christie is a member of our design team and she's got some gorgeous crafts that you're sure to love. Using our Domestic Goddess collection, Christie created a series of charming tags with beautiful textures and delicate colors. These would make perfect little gifts, or as home decor. Take a look at these stunning creations.

I love how simple these are but yet so elegant. Imagine how sweet these would look hanging in the kitchen, or anywhere or that matter. They'd also make the perfect holiday gift for someone you love.

Here are some more captivating creations by Christie using Domestic Goddess. It just goes to show you what a little pretty paper and a lot of imagination can do!

This sweet little tag book is beyond adorable with stunning and virabt textures. It's all about placement and subtlety. When using Graphic 45 papers, it's very easy to get super excited by all the fabulous choices and want to use everything in abundance. Christie's work is so terrific because she really knows how to let the papers shine, while also adding a uniqueness that's all her own. These tags are perfect examples of a beauty and balance.

Many thanks to Christie for her amazing work!
