Holiday Decor Blocks

I'm happy to be able to finally share my holiday blocks with you! Our camera bit the dust when we were in Chicago several weeks ago, so I had to wait until we bought a new one to be able to post my latest creation.

I really liked the Decor Blocks right when I saw them. I know -- you're thinking all I had to do was go buy some wood and cut it -- but since Steve's not handy, that would involve purchasing a saw first. Suddenly, it wasn't very cost effective! I'm impressed with the sturdiness of the SU blocks, and they're lightweight, too. At a perfect 3 inches, it was very easy to cover each side of the blocks as desired. FYI, I opted to use Modgepodge and it worked great!

I used all but 4-5 of the images from one sheet of the Holiday Mix Decor Elements, and could have used those as I had room to spare, but I chose to leave the tops and bottoms of the blocks plain for ease of stacking. I stuck with a consistent color theme and used Old Olive Patterns paper to add some extra interest along the way. Beyond some direct-to-paper and background images (like the jumbo Textured wheel), I didn't stamp at all. This one's all Decor Elements, punches, ribbon and a few accessories.
