Because It’s All About Jesus

Christmas, that is.  I wanted to make something for us to be reminded of what Christmas is truly all about.  I’ll be the first to admit it is difficult sometimes to not get caught up with all of the presents, pretty lights, baking, ribbon, parties, photo shoots, Christmas trees, garland…you get the idea I’m sure. :)  And yes, I love all of those things.  LOVE.  I do all of the above because it’s such a glorious occasion, and because I’m a wee bit obsessed with decorating.  But, put all that aside for a moment, because this is what I really want to do…

I want to remember to give Him praise during this season and every season.  And I put this on our entry table so there is no getting around it and we will ALWAYS see it.  :)  People that come through our door and our kids will be reminded.  And maybe even someone who isn’t a believer that comes to our home, I hope it stops them and makes them go “hmmm.”  But in a good way. :)

Don’t worry, I won’t get all preachy on you.  But I am not ashamed either. Some of you may even be a little mad at God right now, unhappy with your circumstances, or just plain struggling.  But He deserves our praise, even in the midst of all of the storms.

Ok, ok, so wanna know how I made it? :)  To see another lovely Christmas banner, check out Shanty 2Chic’s Joy to the World banner. Love it!

I bought some of this lovely cardstock at Hobby Lobby for $5.

It’s very sparkly and glittery, and the best part is that it is NOT messy.  I don’t do well with glitter everywhere.

Then I used my handy dandy Silhouette machine and cut out my letters on white cardstock.  Me and the Silhouette are becoming great friends.  It’s pretty addictive.

Then popped out my letters and glued them with modge podge to my glittery square paper.

Used my pinking shears around all of the edges for a little more detail…

Then just used a hole punch to make two holes at the top, and strung with ribbon. Those poinsettias I used are from the Dollar Store.

And if you have an inquiring mind like me, I just used those mini command hooks to attach the ribbon to the mirrors.  Those things are wonderful!

And voila!

So join in with me and let’s praise Him, because He is worthy.

Amen.

    I love your banner! When my girls were little I made a birthday cake and we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. After all, Christmas IS the celebration of his birth, so why not? I love your banner against the mirror-it looks great there!

    WONDERFUL post! I LOVE that you are celebrating the Christ in Christmas. It is so easy to “forget” Him during this busy holiday season. *sigh*
    I love your banner! I can’t wait to get my Silhouette, so I can make one too, lol. :-)

    I love it Emily. What a great reminder too. I can TOTALLY identify with you. Many years back at one of David and my first apartments. I covered our front door so that it looked like a gift wrapped present. I made a HUGE tag on it that said “Happy Birthday Jesus” I did it for the same reasons. One day a neighbor I had never met came to tell me that her 6 year old daughter had drawn a Christmas picture at school. It was of my door. The neighbor wanted to thank me because she too had gotten lost in all the holiday craziness. But because of my door and her daughters drawing she took time to sit down and tell her daughter the TRUE Christmas story. It’s really true what they say, “even if it touches ONE life it was worth it”

    BTW David isn’t here to proof my grammar so my apologies!! I know your a grammar hound! :)

      Aww that is SO sweet and very touching!! Her life may have been changed forever just from your door!

      Haha don’t worry, the grammar police isn’t out today. :)

    I’m so happy to see your post today. Jesus is ABSOLUTELY the reason for the season. Do you have any of these beautiful banners for sale? Some of us unlucky gals without a Silhouette would love to have one!

    • Decorchick! says

  26. Lauren says

    December 2, 2010 at 9:58 pm

    I love that idea Emily! We all need to be reminded of the true meaning of the season, and what a great way to express that!

  27. Mage says

    December 3, 2010 at 3:58 am

    I like it! So simple yet elegant, love the rich colors too. I agree too, as a believer of Him, I have observed that the real essence of celebrating the season seemed pointless because His not the center. I do hope everyone realizes this. Enjoy the season with love and peace!

    Thank you! I woke up in such a blah this morning!!! You got me re-focused! I needed that! I haven’t gotten stuck on other christmas things, but my heart needed to be moved…. towards Jesus! Never be ashamed and know that it encourages other people too! Bless you!
    I heart Jesus :)

    What a great project… I have been trying to find ways to make sure my kids know what the season is really about, but in a fun way. I think I will have to do something like this for our “Happy Birthday Jesus” party.

🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think i 🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think it is.

It’s not about hustling harder or chasing validation.

It’s not about overnight success or quick wins.

Real growth happens when you stay consistent, stay aligned with your purpose, and trust that the right things will fall into place.

✨ “What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.” – Gretchen Rubin

So, what’s the secret to real growth?

It’s showing up for yourself with purpose, trusting the process, and focusing on what truly matters.💕
