Christmas Wreath

At our last regional training day the lovely Sophie from Australia showed us how to make these lovely wreaths. So i thought I would have a go.I have used a couple of different Big Shot diez in various colours. The main coloured paper used is from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack thats in the Holiday Catalogue.It was fun to make but did take quite a bit ofcardstock and paper.

Golden Ornament

I've been making a few of these ornaments and teaching ladies to make these as well. One of my ladies came up with the idea of using gold ink and tulle to make one of these ornaments. I didn't have gold ink so instead used More Mustard on Vanilla cardstock. The tulle used is non StampinUp but the effect looks golden. This same lady used material that had been stiffened and then just used the framelits to cut the shapes out.Very effective. Limited by your own imagination!

Christmas Album

Yesterday a group of us got together for  a Christmas party, afternoon tea and we all made a gift for Secret Santa. This group is made up of scrapbookers who meet throughout the year at one of two crop venues. We have been having this Christmas party for the last 4 years. The gift that you bring has to be hand made by you. Its amazing the variety of gifts given.
Above is the gift that I made. a mini album inside a DVD case or could be SU clear mount stamp case.
I got the tutorial off Linda Gutierrez.
This album could be adapted to any occasion.
This is the inside of the album.
Next year I hope to take a class making this album. if interested let me know.

Secret Santa gift box

Tonight I have to take a gift for secret santa. This is what I have made using the Kraft box from the annual catalogue. Looks great with a bit of designer paper.
This is the top of the box made from the sticky rounds in the holiday catalogue and using the lace ribbon.
A very quick and effective gift for someone. I have filled it with chocolates.
Its not too late to order these boxes for Christmas . Good sturdy box makes a great gift for someone.
