It's a Winter Wonderland with Karola Witczak

Hello Prima fans! It's Karola here today with a few of my Christmas and Wintery projects.

Some time ago I started to prepare Christmas and winter decors for our home and I have to admit, that brings me to a lot of joy and fun. I listen winter songs, make a big mug of cocoa and I put all my attention to creating all that small decors, which makes winter time very magical and beautiful. I am certain that most of you have prepared your decors already, but many people create it at the last moment. For example, here in Poland we wear Christmas tree just 1 day before or at Christmas Eve. Create holiday and winter decorations with Prima products is child easy! Is a huge pleasure to combine with all those wonderful, stunning flowers and other embellies!

First I want to show you one of my winter wreath, which I made this year. I don't know yet where the door it hung, but this small white decor incredibly makes me happy. I decided to keep it in a very clear palette and I choose white and silver colors. I had a small wreath of twigs and to cover it I used Prima white lace, and then using a hot glue gun I adhere a lot of delicate vines, flowers and leaves. It took me less than one hour - so I highly encourage you to do something like this for your home for winter season!

Another home decor for the holidays that I created is a table (or fireplace, or other place) decor. I used a beautiful white pot from Ikea, I put inside some folded paper and on top of a lot of lace, and then I made composition using a beautiful Rock Candy Vine, gorgeous Gemini flowers and Splendor Leaves. I used my Cuttlebug to make a few snowflakes. The finishing touch are stunning Avon Roses (Londonerry).

Christmas without Christmas Cards? No way! You must admit that creating and giving handmade cards give so much pleasure and joy! I love to do it and for today I created two cards. One is in my beloved "bracket" shape, and a second one is more traditional. Reminds me of traditional Polish Christmas colours: green, red and gold. In both cards a main role playin' Holiday flowers - large, rich, amazing ... And in both cards I used Ranger Stickless and Liquid Pearls to add finishing touch (okay, I must admit - I LOVE those tiny dots!).

Finally, I would show you a layout, which I've done as a summary of this year. I think everyone should make a layout about themselves, their memories, an emotional response, events that we want to remember. This year was for me an amazing, full of heavy moments and hard work, but also full of many amazing and wonderful events. This Lo is also my memory page of this year in Prima Design Team. That was my second year in Prima and that was a huge honour, happiness, great time, full of learning and incredible challenges! To create this layout I used Ledger papers and lots of beautiful flowers and Shabby Chic Resins and Tiny Treasures. Used also a lot of Ranger Distress Crackle Paint (tatered rose) and Pearl Dabber Paint to add lightness, a little bit of airy and an individual touch. Thanks to Ranger Distress Ink pads (frayed burlap and pumice stone) my masking is very delicate, I love this effect!
