One thing I did manage to do was finish our Christmas banner for the mantel. It's a bit plainer than I envisioned but I like it this way- definitely clean and simple. I was having a hard time coming up with the right font for this one. I thought of doing Cricut letters but wanted to simplify my life with stickers. I found some really ornate gold ones that probably would have worked beautifully but then I saw these. It's a bit hard to see but they're raised and clear but have a silver backer so they have a rather glassy-like shine to them.
