Madonna And Child


Craft, Madonna plaque
It is no secret my love of Madonna and child images, creches, and religious icons.





I decided to create a few for some special people this year.





I used materials in Horror Monster's craft section.

Some wooden banner pieces.

Some sea mist paint.












I went to The Graphics Fairy and found several Madonna and child images I especially liked.

After printing them I paper punched decorative edges.




Mod Podged the images on the front of each board.

Adeste Fideles music on the back.









Added silver leaf - just for the something extra.

Used a silver chenille stem as a hanger. 











I really cannot chose a favorite.



































































The music image was found at  Knick Of Time.

Thanks, Angie!










I made several and a few extras. (FOR ME)

They are heavy duty for hanging on a big tree or displayed in a tiny corner.






Chucks and I have torn up carpet, polished floors, and bulldozed debris.

In less than a week we must have a family Christmas Eve ready.

We are going for the minimalist look this year.

We found a half-price tree and stuck a few lights and ornaments on it.

AND all my creches and Madonnas are out so let's call it decorating and stick to cleaning.

See y'all!

  1. I guess I also went minimalist this year. I only put up one tree instead of three :-)

    Glad you still found some time for some fun crafting amidst your chores!

    Merry Christmas!
