My favourite ornament is a very special angel in memory of a loved one. We always place it prominently front and center on the Christmas tree.
Ooooo. Those shimmer splashes are gorgeous. I don’t have a favourite ornament, but we do have a travel tree with ornaments from our travels. It’s so fun decorating it every year and reminiscing about our trips and vacations
There are too many favourite ornaments to actually pick one! My tree is covered in memories – children’s creations, tokens from places I’ve visited, gifts to me from special people. Just can’t pick one!
My favourite ornaments are snowmen. I have a ornament that has snowmen that hang
I love Honey Bee-such great designs! The Shimmer Splashes would be fun to try.
Favorite ornament….another HARD choice. I’m going to choose a metal ornament that my hubby (boyfriend at the time) gave me when we were first going out. It’s very sentimental.
What a stunning card!!!! My favorite ornament is one from my mom and dad’s first Christmas they celebrated together as a married couple in 1957.
My favourite ornaments are the small china Christmas carollers that each have a bell. They spell out the word NOEL. Passed down from my Nana, a loving keepsake!
Wow, gorgeous card Mari! Thank you Honey Bee Stamps and Brutus Monroe for another great day of giveaways! All my ornaments are special to me to because I spent time with mom and bought most of them when shopping with her on Boxing Day. But I do have 2 that hold a place in my heart – one was a porcelain bear ornament I won in elementary school. The second is my wedding ornament – we got married a week before Christmas so got everyone personalized Christmas ornaments.
Finally an easy one for me! My mother was very crafty and I have a few Victorian lace fans and a ribbon angel that she made, they are my favorite and I think of her when I adorn my tree.
My favorite ornaments were the ones I carefully chose for both my children every year…..they will forever always be my most treasured.
Beautiful card!! My favorite ornament is one in memory of my daughter. It has her picture in it and it sits in the middle of the memory tree I have set up next to the regular Christmas tree
My favorite ornaments are all the ornaments on my Angel tree that I keep up all year in memory of 2 children that I lost. Thank you for sharing this stunning card and showing how you did the blending technique. I can’t wait to try this one!
GORGEOUS! My favorite ornament is a cute wood one by Ornaments By Claudia of a snowman with a little dog just like me and my pup Maddie
Many years ago, I found a set of Mickey Mouse ceramic ornaments throughout the years at the Disney Store. I can’t remember if it’s for a particular anniversary or just a collection put together. It was the last set in the store and it goes up on my tree every year.
My favourite ornament is the disney world castle that we got on our first trip to disney world this past spring!
First of all what a beautiful card! Thank you for giving us this chance to win these great prizes. Honey Bee Stamps have such great products and to be given a chance to choose exactly what we what is awesome. I have heard of Brutus Monroe Shimmer Splash and would love to have this product. You and your sponsors are awesome, Thank you SCT for these amazing chances.
My favorite ornament is the handmade ornaments given to me as a gift! Thanks for sharing!
All of our ornaments have been gifts so I can’t pick a favorite! My husband and I were both gifted ornaments every year since we were kids so they’re all special ❤️
My favorite ornament is a paper plate reindeer our daughter made when she was in first grade ( she is now 38!). I just love it and happy it has survived all these years ❤️
Gorgeous card from Mari, i just love how she always makes het cards so whimsical. I have a very old small angel ???????? in my tree that is from my childhood. Also, i have small picture frames of our loved ones that have left us.
My favorite ornaments are my Nutcrackers.
My favourite Christmas ornament is an angel I received as a Secret Santa gift many years ago. I don’t know where the person bought it, but I’ve never seen anything in stores like it. It’s beautiful.
My favorite Christmas ornament is actually a set of 2. They were brought by my Grandmother when she immigrated from Czechoslovakia. They are hand blown glass. One is a reindeer, and one is a gazelle. They have an honored place on my tree every year.
That is a gorgeous card! My favorite ornament is a glass one that was passed down to me! It was on my great grandmother’s tree and so is from the early 1910’s. It has a separate box and space for storage as it is the only thing of hers that I have!
My favorite ornament is a ball that I made when I was a little girl in church that’s wrapped in a silky material and has red glitter paint spelling my name.
I have far too many favorite ornaments! One in particular I giggle at is Santa and an alligator driving a fan boat that we got to celebrate our trip to Orlando, Florida.
Hi everyone.
My favourite Christmas ornaments are the vintage glass tree decorations that I inherited from my mother. The same glass ornaments that I decorated the tree with when I was a child.
They are at least 60 years old! They reflect the lights on the tree from every angle, which brings extra sparkle to our cozy Christmas nights.
My favorite ornament is the photo of our daughter when she was a newborn. I treasure it.
I love old-school classic ornaments. My absolute fave would probably single little Santa boots!
My favorite ornament is a bear ornament my parents gave me as a child and was on the tree every year. They gave me and my brothers each our own little bear ornament.
My favorite ornament is one my daughter made in Elementary school. It’s a snowman made with a stuffed sock with beans in the bottom. It’s got a place of honor on our tree!
My favorite ornament is a ceramic bear that holds a small picture of my son. It was made and given to me by a family member.
My favorite ornaments are the ones my husband and I made together on our very first Christmas. Today’s project is beautiful! Love the snowflakes!
My favorite ornament is round and one that my daughter chose for me with a Santa and trees in glitter. Love it!
My favorite ornaments are the handmade ones my kids have made over the years. Each one is a one of a kind priceless treasure.
I really don’t have a favourite ornament as each one represents a special person or event. Christmas a special time of year for me and for so many others. Happy Holidays to one and all!
My favourite ornament is a small ceramic Bay bell. It’s been on our tree since I was a child and my parents handed one down to each of us for our trees. Lots of happy memories! Awesome creations, Mari – love the colours and layout!
Years ago, my sister-in-law hand made an ornament for us. It means a lot to us. It’s the first one that goes on the tree each year.
Purple is my favorite color! I like your card Mari. My favorite ornament was the interactive ones my mom had when I was a kid. They would move or turn.
My favorite ornament is a little Christmas mouse that my son would give a good night kiss to every night when he was little
My favorite ornament … that’s a hard one because they all have a special meaning. I buy my kids a special ornament each year and I buy an ornament for each city/country I visit when I take a trip.
My favorite ornament is a pickle… Not entirely sure why, but my in-laws started hiding a pickle on their tree and whichever grandchild found it first got an extra little treat.
Beautiful card! Thanks for the chance to win such fabulous prizes!
One of my favorite ornaments is a painted wood stocking that I got in kindergarten. I’m not sure who actually painted it, but it’s very sweet.
My mom made ornaments as gifts every year. My tree is full of them. She recently passed making each one even more special.
A Christmas ornament I made with my family picture when we were young. We lost our father young and I made for my sisters also.
Mari has created a beautiful card for us, thank you for the inspiration! I have many favorite ornaments, but one I display year round. It was designed by Christopher Radko as a tribute for 911, called Brave Heart; my husband was in the hit tower but survived—it reminds me to be thankful for everyday!
My favorite ornament is the baby Jesus my youngest made in preschool out of a cotton ball, a plastic baby and a portion of an egg carton. She couldn’t say Jesus for whatever reason and used to call it her “baby cheese”.
My favorite ornament would be the ceramic bears that my mom in law made for my hubby when he bought his first house and wanted his first Christmas tree all in bears.
I’m not sure I can name a favourite ornament, the others will be jealous! I LOVE all my ornaments!
