Christmas Card Holder DIY Project

Now for a fun DIY project, I've made a Christmas Holly Wreath Card Holder before that was fun. Well it's no where to be found so off to make a new one. And of course I can't make the same one I made last year so on the Google search I went and found this one. I took a twist and made one.
What you need:
Tomato Plant Cage (Either in Red or Green) - Found at Lowe's $7.99
Christmas Plate - Found at Dollar Tree $1
Christmas Lights White - Found at Dollar Tree $1
Clips (binder clips) - Found at Dollar Tree Festive Clothing Pins $1 each package 4 used
Santa Hat - Found at Dollar Tree $1
Hot Glue Gun

I had my husband cut off the bottom of the plant cage I only needed 3 rings and it had 4 and was too tall. He also cut the top for me so it wasn't so far from the Santa hat to the cards. On the pointy ends, I pulled them together and topped with the Santa hat, this also makes all sharp edges covered up. I strung the lights through the rings, the lights I found at the Dollar tree was only 5 feet which sounded like a lot until I tried to put on. Next time I would buy two or a larger string of lights. The festive clothing pins I found where attached to twine so I took them off the twine and my youngest then attached to the top two rings. I found small clothing pins that had Christmas Tree's and Snow flakes so we alternated between the two on each row. The bottom ring I took my hot glue gun and put a ring of glue and then quickly since the glue was drying quick I attached the plate. I found if I didn't have my husband take that bottom ring off the plate would have been too small. The third ring was just right, I then took the glue gun and used it almost like a seal and went around the ring to make sure all together. And you're done, took me only about 20 min to make at the most and easy to attach the cards that have come in so far.

Christmas Photo Booth Props DYI

We had our annual Christmas Photo Shoot this weekend. I wanted to do something fun, I went to Amazon and they had a photo booth props for $7.99 but wouldn't get here in time, I could have paid the extra for the next day shipping (but free 2 day prime is so much nicer lol) . So I had a Photo Booth Cartridge for my Circuit I used for the Emoji Party. This cartridge is the best it has a TON of different props you can use!  I made a few of the fun Christmas ones for our photo shoot. I'm so excited that my favorite dance class is having a fun party and will use them so I don't have to throw them out.
What you Need:
Photo Booth Cartridge (link above bought on Amazon)
Craft Glue
Card Stock paper (in all the Christmas Colors)
Cricut
Cricut Board
Bamboo Sticks (Craft Isle)
Hot Glue Gun
After the props are cut, you will take the craft glue to make them complete. Once dry take a hot glue gun to attach the bamboo stick to the backside of the prop. Let the hot glue dry and you have the best photo props.
Here are a few from our family Photo Shoot:

Family Photo's are DONE!

This year I was really behind, with me heading to Boston I didn't plan so well and didn't get my family photos done, meaning I didn't get my cards out the day after Thanksgiving like I've done for years.

My amazing Friend Jennifer at Johansen Photography travels, she does amazing work and the best part AFFORDABLE!!!

As you know my previous post I was looking for the best family photos. We decided on two and we did those along with a few family photos!

They all were done in my front yard and in front of our tree.  And Thank God for Rick who had been working 2 jobs and had maybe 6 hours of sleep in the 3 days leading up to this shoot was such a GREAT sport!

Here's our Card:
