Tracy Bish : Shaded Spruce

Hello and Welcome to Day 3 of Christmas In July. Today's project is a Lolly Dispenser, and I love this one because Christmas for us in Australia is hot, and while most traditional Christmas treats revolve around chocolate, this sadly never ends well in summer!

Hence, bring on the lollies, and this sweet little lolly dispenser is so cute, and makes the perfect little treat on a table or to give as a gift.

Olive Olive and Shaded Spruce compliment each other beautifully, and I just couldn't go past the reindeer paper in Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper.

Thank you for stopping by, please feel free to leave me a comment, and hope to see you back tomorrow for another awesome project.

SUPPLIES:

Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper

The New Annual Catalogue is now LIVE, and what a great catalogue it is. Packed full with wonderful samples, sketches, colour combo's and so much inspiration.

Do you use the catalogue to its full potential? I love to Case the Catalogue, (Copy and Share Everything) and this can be done by Copying straight from the catalogue, copying the sketch, colour scheme, or just an element.

In an attempt to be more constistant, I plan to bring you a case from the catalogue every week, at this stage I plan to bring this to you every Tuesday. Please don't hold me to it, I work full time in my own business, so I work long hours, but I promise to do my best for you.

The first Case comes from the Tropical Escape Suite on page 120, and the card I picked is the first one in the photo, every single photo screams to me, but I love the different greens all being used here together.
