Hi, friends! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend with your families! I sure did! I ate my weight in food, I’ll tell you that much!! Now that Thanksgiving is over I am in full Christmas mode! I am not the blogger who decorates two months ahead. Maybe someday when I am a big whig who is sponsored by a huge company to create a tree or something. 😉 Haha….a girl can dream, right?! As for now, I am still a believer in soaking in each holiday in its own season, which means that we decorated for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, as we always do. I still have some decorating to complete, but most of it is done, and I am excited to add this silly but simple Christmas printable to my decor!
When I was given the opportunity to participate in this Christmas printable blog hop, I will admit it: I hesitated. I have only made a couple of printables prior to this, and they are always very very simple. I am not great with computers, and that is a fact. But with the help of this tutorial from Sweet C’s Designs I got brave and tried out making a printable using photoshop for the first time. (I used PicMonkey for the other printables.) I am still no pro, obviously, but I feel a bit more confident, and I love the way my cheerful little tutorial turned out. It looks very cute on our entryway table underneath our Christmas plate wall. (Which is coming soon to a blog near you, by the way!) Below is the un-“posed” printable. It is a low quality, watermarked version. If you would like a high quality file to print you will find it HERE. It is free to download!
For the frame I decided to go very simple. I got this fun bare wood frame at Michael’s and I spray painted it white. Then I used ModPodge and extra fine white glitter from JoAnn’s to add a little “snowy” sparkle and pizazz.
Now be sure to “hop” around and check out all of the other FREE Christmas printables! I love collaborating with other bloggers because they are SO stinking talented!

December 1, 2013 at 10:59 pmYour free printable is great, love the simplicity and color you used. I’ll be digging in my frames to see what I can find.
I would go buy same frame you used but I’ve sworn to stay out of Michaels, I just spent over $36 on this and that the other night. That was after I dropped a few at Hobby Lobby and $tree also, eeeekkkk. No more. I’m going to make whatever else i want to make out of what I have at home now. I’ve posed a challenge to myself not to buy any more crafts supplies. Hold me to it ok?
Thanks so much for the printable you so generously provided, I sure appreciate it. love to make so many projects this time of year, not enuf ink, or time. I haven’t decorated yet but we’d better be getting our decos out as it’s going down to low 20’s by Wed. and snow so we better get to digging tomorrow and Tuesday. Plus I want hubs to make a big tree out of pallet wood. We’ll have to see about that one. We don’t have a garage or basement so he has to do his carpentry work outside, Happy week

December 1, 2013 at 11:14 pmTHanks! I TOTALLY know what you mean about Michael’s! I can not walk into a craft store or Target without spending almost $100! It’s scary!! I’m trying to “shop my stash” now, but it’s hard. 😉 Good luck!

December 4, 2013 at 9:07 pmSuper cute! I have that same frame- I bought it for whatever I may “need” it for someday, because I have the same problem with Michael’s.
What did you print the picture on and how did you attach it?

December 5, 2013 at 4:56 pmI printed it on my computer and used tape to attach it, but I’m getting it printed as a 5×7 at a photo center. I think it will be better quality.
