I bought this sleigh a little while ago from Art from The Heart. I had seen it decorated in a mag and just knew I had to have one too!!!! I painted the edges with red paint and then added the papers....BG Fruitcake - vintage ornaments. Because the paper is really patterened I didn't really need to add any more embelishments except the button and the threaded beads. I use some craft tinsel for this to cheer things up and added a metal tree ornament....good old Santa hehe!
Here is the back but I may change the ornament later...not sure yet!
Over on Bubbly Funk we have done a Secret Advent Swap and where else is there to put all the little parcels???
Thank you so much for taking a look, I loved doing this one X

You must be sooooo pleased. Roll on Monday! :O)
Fab way to decorate the sleigh, love it! The little button embellies look perfect on the fronts and I think it's fantastic for your advent gifts, great idea!
How fab is that! And love your card for Rosiedee.
Karen, this is gorgeous and has been ooooohhhhed at here at Lynne's. I think I might need to get one for next year.
ahhhh great idea Karen. I wondered what you were going to do with your sleigh when you showed it the other week. It looks wonderful - and perfect for your advent parcels
Oh Karen, I really love this - I want it, I want it, I want it!!!
Hee hee hee - you are a very clever crafter XXXX
Karen that sleigh is really lovely and what a super place to put all your Advent goodies. You'll have some lovely ribbon bits to play with once they are all open.
