Jingle All The Way Holiday Hop at Colorful Creations: Day One!!!

Hello everyone!!!! I hope all my fellow Americans had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!!!!

Welcome to the Colorful Creations Design Team Jingle All The Way Holiday Hop!!! 

We hope that you are ready for three days of fun, challenges, recipes and other holiday inspiration to get you on your way to a state of holiday bliss (or at least on the right path!)!!!

You should have arrived here from Libby's blog... If not, please 

start from the beginning here!!!  If you get lost along the way, you can find all the information and blog line-up here!!!

For the first day of the hop, I decided to share a set of altered 

drawers I put together for Christmas using the "Christmas Made" 

holiday stack by DCWV. 

"Christmas Drawers": Altered Drawers Using DCWV "Christmas Made" Holiday Stack

I started by painting the unfinished wood with "Moss Green" 

Luminarte Silks Acrylic Glaze. LOVE these paints because they 

are loaded with micah that makes them oh sooooo shiny!!!!

Then, I just used a a ton of Mod Podge (matte chosen here) and 

papers and got to work!!!

Here's a look at the finished piece:

Isn't it amazing?!? And you would be surprised at how little time and effort this takes and would make such a FAB-U-LOUS gift!!!!! Here are some other pics:

The "drawer pulls" are actually buttons by "The Girl's Paperie" 

that I coated with Gold Leafing.... LOVE the way they turned 

out!!!! I also used various embellies by Tim Holtz (metal corners 

on top of box), Jolees (bow on top), Webster's Pages "Merry 

Christmas" Sticker, and metal charm piece by Recollections.

Now for the "good stuff"!!!!!

I have a FAB-U-LOUS prize to give away to one lucky
