Julianne --> You are HERE!
PaperHaus Blog --> This is your next stop!

I am so glad you stopped by today. Christmas is my favourite time of year (although I have my suspicions I would enjoy it even more if it was winter over here, instead of summer!!!)
But whether it is summer or winter, it is a great excuse to decorate your house with beautiful hand-made decorations. Let me take this opportunity to share a few ideas with you... 

I wanted unique personalised tags for my daughters, so I created these. All I needed was a couple of tags, some paper, flowers, chipboard, damask sticker (or stamp), ribbons, and glitter. Ever so easy and quick to make. And this will ensure there is NO MIX UP with presents, even if they are wrapped exactly the same. 

I love clear Christmas baubles because I can do so many things with them. I simply filled the bauble with strips of rolled paper, added a sprinkle of glitter, and stuck a rhinestone embellishment on the outside.

Here's another of the clear Christmas baubles - and they also make wonderful gifts for family, friends, and teachers. :-) It doesn't get more personal than a hand-made Christmas tree ornament. 

Now, for today's giveaway! Prima has offered this giveaway for us to hand out to one lucky PaperHaus follower! That's right! All you need to do is become a follower of the PaperHaus blog, and leave a comment on THIS BLOG POST telling us what your favourite segment of the Winter Issue was your favourite! It doesn't get any easier than that!

Have fun and Happy Hopping!

  33. Okay, I have to say that I'm not a fan of baubles but now that I've seen what you've done with them, well, I'm off to our craftstore tomorrow and I'm hoping that they haven't sold out of them. AWESOME! I live how you put the bling on the outside and the rolled paper inside looks really neat! It has a real Christmas feel to it. Thanks so, so much for sharing this with us. Terrific idea.
