Holiday Ballard designs knockoff vignette
 |
| Before summer shelf |
This is just a small Deck the Halls post. I wanted to join Susan's party, and I am not quite finished decking my halls.
I am sure many of you receive the Ballard design catalog. I recently was paging through always for inspiration, and came across this fresh cedar alphabet letter. At 35.00, that is a NO WAY for me. I had this wire initial for a long time. Of course with having fresh greens in the back yard.....this was an easy knock off job. I first layered the initial with some faux cypress, then I layered the top with the fresh. Pretty cute HUH?!!~ Now get out there and make one for yourself .
NOW onto the Ballard inspired project. Here is the Ballard version:
Now here is the boys Winter Christmas shelf.

So great, as you might have read from my recent posts. Ballard has been a huge inspiration in my holiday decorating. I wanted one of these too. I havent attempted it yet, just a wreath but I love how yours came out.
You are so clever!!! I saw a tutorial on this on a blog somewhere and thought about doing it, but just ran out of time! Yours looks great and I love the whole vignette on the shelf! You smart cookie!
What a fun shelf and I love the letter greenery!
Soooo cute Debbie! The shelf is really sweet!
Debbie,
Cute Cute Cute idea! Great photo, too! Have a Happy Monday :)

Oh I love it, Debbie! Thanks for your advice about the treadmill, lol! I actually unplugged it cause I did not want the village to be flying off in case it got turned on accidentally, lol...Christine
Ok because you are so adorable, you can have two pennies, instead of one:)
I love this project with the letter "M" and in fact I actually think it looks better that the one from Ballard and I bet it smells better too...or is it two:)
Hugs girl!

PS I'm right there with you, I just couldn't get everything done for Susan's party this week, it was a bit too soon for me:)
OMG! I love the letter! So going to ty it with my L!
Thanks for the idea!
You did a great job! Aren't the catalogs just wonderful sources of ideas these days?
Beautifully done, Debbie! My favorite two things in the photos of this post are the different black and white close ups of your boys. Breathtaking!!!!
Well done, Debbie, I love it!!

Love it! A "C" really shouldn't be that hard to try :o) I may have to give it a go!
Festively adorable Debbie! I was going to do the same to my R, but the man shot me down, so I must live vicariously through you, thank you my sweet!
I love it Debbie!
I love the letters!! Always a sucker for sculpted greenery! I didn't know you back at blogging already! I love to come over and check out all of your ideas! Keep em coming :)
i love the santa hats in your header, and that initial wreath! i wish i was married just to share the same last name and have a monogrammed wreath! ha!
that is too funny about the color combo and being jewish!
I have the same snowmen! Gotta love dollar tree lol. Love the letters how fun.
I had not seen those letters before, but I love your version. Very cute. You are getting more and more craftier!
Debbie, these are so cute. I love the letter idea and think it's fun that you add a seasonal touch to the boy's rooms. You are a terrific mom! ~ Sarah
Your M turned out awesome - I think the cypress branches were perfect for the form.
Adorable! I was thinking of making the wreath, too, after I saw it in the BD catalog.
Happy Holidays!
