Home for the Holidays!

Hello, Friends! It's Kathy here, and I'm thrilled to be hosting the FINAL Frilly and Funkie challenge for 2016. We are just a few short weeks away from Christmas! Can you believe it? With that in mind, I chose the theme Home for the Holidays for this go round.

Let's get ready to Deck the Halls by creating some home decor for the holiday season. You can make centerpieces, wreaths, banners, ornaments, wall hangings, or little vignettes... basically anything BUT a card for this challenge. If you don't celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, then just make some home decor with a wintry theme.

The team will choose their top four picks with the winner being invited to join us in a Guest DT spot here at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

The guidelines for entering are simple; create a new vintage or shabby chic project following the challenge theme, link it below to your post (not just your blog) and also include a link back to this challenge in your post. You can combine our challenge with up to 10 challenges (including this one) to be in with a chance of winning. Make sure you follow these rules as unfortunately we have had to eliminate entrants from the prize draws in the past when they have entered too many other challenges. If you are entering through a public forum (such as Instagram) please add the blog challenge address. Also, please be sure to turn off your Word Verification so our Design Team can leave comments on your blogs.

It's now time to take a peek at the wonderful home decor projects the Funkie side of the team have created for you:

Suzanne Czosek - Suzz's Stamping Spot

Jenny Marples - Pushing The Right Buttons

Linda Coughlin - The Funkie Junkie

Saturday Step x Step: Shabby Chic Home Decor

How to Create Shabby Chic Home Decor with Waste Corrugate Cardboard

Hello, Friends! It's Kathy here with today's Saturday Step x Step Tutorial. I've created an easy to follow Snapguide for this Shabby Chic Home Decor piece that I made for the All in the Family Challenge that 's going on right now at Frilly and Funkie.

 

This is a reprint of my mom and dad's wedding photo that is very dear to my heart.  You could easily substitute your own favorite family photo. 

This piece measures 6" x 8" and is made with corrugated cardboard packing material.  I had quite a few nice pieces left from our recent move, and couldn't bear to toss them out.  They make a great alterable surface.

I was able to pull this piece together on a lazy Saturday morning.  I love almost instant gratification, don't you?

Here's the Snapguide so you can follow along.

Check out How to Create Mixed Media Shabby Chic Home Decor by Kathy Clement on Snapguide.

I hope this inspires you to get your mixed media goodies off the shelf and have an inky good time. And don't forget to share your All in the Family project with us on the Frilly and Funkie Blog. We love it when you play along with us!  

You'll find links to the Funkie Junkie Boutique products I used below, and there is a complete supply list within the Snapguide tutorial.

Thanks for stopping by!  Now go get your craft on!

Cheerio,

kathy
