I’ve been wanting to try my hand at image transfers on candles for quite awhile, and I realized that I already had everything I needed to do it! I chose one of my antique Christmas music images on one, and am including the tutorial for you as well. For this project you’ll need: *white pillar candle white tissue paper (cheap bulk price on Amazon) *freezer paper *stencil adhesive spray *select your sheet music image (found here) *heat gun or blow dryer on {Read More}
Antique Christmas Graphic Advertisement
December 17, 2014 by 1 Comment
While digging through a stack of papers last night, I came across this antique Christmas graphic from an early 1900’s magazine that I’ve never shared before. I’ve got paper stacks a mile high, so it’s lucky I stumbled upon this one before Christmas came and went. I especially love the snow covered font for the lettering. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO VIEW FULL SIZE} I removed the advertising text in the image below, so it can be used as a gift {Read More}

Chalkboard Printable Backgrounds and Tutorial to Make Your Own Custom Colors
December 15, 2014 by 1 Comment
I’ve shared several projects lately, using a chalkboard as the background for them, so I thought I would share the color versions of the backgrounds, because you may find a fun way to use them, but I’m including a tutorial as well, so you can make your own custom colors. This red one is like the one I used to design my Mrs. Claus Cookie Co. printable that I shared. This green version reminds me of the old green school {Read More}

This pretty clip art image shows church bells ringing, and has a pretty holly berry border. It would be perfect to use on a family newsletter to include with your Christmas cards!

December 14, 2014 by 5 Comments
During the drive to Arkansas to pick up my son last week, while my older son was driving, I was busy working on another Christmas project. I hope you aren’t sick of seeing them, because I just can’t seem to stop working on them. I wanted to make another canvas project, like the family photo I did on canvas a few months ago, but with a chalkboard Christmas image instead. To design the printable, I used my chalkboard background (found {Read More}

![Christmas Music Page Hymn The Bethlehem Babe][](https://knickoftime.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Christmas-Music-Hymn-The-Bethlehem-Babe-300x194.jpg)
Here’s a beautiful old Christmas music page for you. I think it would look lovely printed as a ledger size page, and used as a place mat on a Christmas table setting. Ledger size black and white pages only cost about 17 cents (at Staples), and full color ledger size prints cost around 67 cents, so it’s an inexpensive way to dress up your holiday table with vintage style. By the way, ledger size pages measure 11×17, and this image will {Read More}
Farmhouse Kitchen Wall Update
December 13, 2014 by 10 Comments
I thought I’d change gears this week, from Christmas projects, to the changes we made to the wall behind our stove in our farmhouse kitchen. I really hadn’t intended to overhaul the look of this wall, but one project leads to another…and often another, and that was definitely the case with my kitchen wall, as you’ll see. It all started when we got a new oven range hood from Westside Wholesale. Obviously, it’s a modern appliance, so once we got it installed, the {Read More}

December 13, 2014 by 1 Comment
This pretty black and white Christmas clip art came from the same 1920’s music magazine as the Man Rushing Home with Christmas Gifts image that I shared with you yesterday. I love the lettering and the message on the scroll. It would like nice paired with Christmas music pages (available here) – especially for a musician or music lover. Keep watching for more Christmas clip art and printable images that I’ll be sharing in the upcoming weeks, so you have plenty of {Read More}
Glittered Christmas Clay Pot – Ho, Ho, Ho!!
December 12, 2014 by 9 Comments
I think I should have planned on doing 25 days, instead of 12 Days of Christmas, because more Christmas ideas keep popping into my head. You can never have too much Christmas though, can you? I have a rustic kind of gardening display above my kitchen window (see more here), that has several stacks of clay pots on it. One day those pots caught my eye, and I still had the red paint and glitter out from making the Glittered Letter {Read More}
