Merry Christmas!

Phew it's been a hectic month - I'm looking forward to a holiday away soon because as much as I love Christmas the build up to it is always stressful.

I do have time today for a quick share though. :)

I re-purposed a frame that my sister no longer wanted and turned it into a quick and easy home decor item for my Mum. She loves to decorate for Christmas and I knew she'd appreciate having something stamped to put on the wall. This took next to no time to complete and I was so pleased with how it came out that I'll be making similar frames in the future.

The matting was already in the frame - I simply removed the picture and added a piece of Very Vanilla card stamped with all of the words from Four the Holidays. I added some glittery stars from a packet of Alphabet stickers and the little birds and tree are from the Merry details Sizzlet die. Ink colours used were Marina mist, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

What do you think?

Christmas Wreath

I'm loving anything with a wreath on it at the moment. I think I'll have to get cracking and make one for my front door!

Catching up...

Hi All,

It's been a crazily busy couple of weeks so I thought I'd better quickly catch you all up so we can start back with what's currently happening around here!

I've taught 3 Christmas classes and a Christmas Workshop, made a bunch of stuff to donate for the Kindy Gala, and switched back to my old laptop after Dad needed his computer back. This is what has held me back from blogging for so long. I've had to reboot windows and reinstall all the programs I use plus transfer and organise all my photographs. This plus a flat camera battery has not helped take photos for my blog!

So, you are up to speed. Now I can show you some of the things I've been making over the last few weeks.

You saw the Red ribbon dasher card in my last post from my Christmas Stamp-a-stack classes so here are the other 3 we made:

 

I'll be back with more tomorrow!

Just Add Christmas

It's challenge time over at Just Add Ink and seeing as Christmas is my absolute favourite time to craft, I had to join in.

This is one of the cards from my class on Wednesday night, it was a great evening with some lovely ladies! Can't wait to do it all again next week.

Sponged Sky

I cased this card from the lovely Paula Dobson who is a master with a sponge and a brayer I've heard!

I love how it looks complicated but actually comes together really quickly once you have the masks made.

Happy Monday Everyone!

Winter Post

I got so much use out of this set last Christmas and will continue to do so this year as well. I just love it!!
