Christmas layout of my daughters taken a few years ago

Chloe Snorkelling on holiday last year. I loved doing this layout it's cold and gloomy outside and these papers are so happy and colourful xx

 Hope you like them xx



Felt flowers

I was looking at some of the layouts on the Bobunny blog and came across these gorgeous felt flowers their designer had used on her layout http://bobunny.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-than-4.html (take a look).  I dug out my felt and had a go at making my own.

1.  Fold a piece of felt 10cm  in length, 3cm in width in half and snip across the fold.






2.  Fold one end in and hold in place with a stitch

 3.  Keep rolling the the felt along and securing in place with little stitches.








4.  Once rolled up you should end up with something like this, secure into place with a few more stitches.  Now make a layout to put them on EASY!

November Kit from CCW

I love this kit and all of the colours.  I needed a break from all the christmas crafts we have been up, I feel like I have been knee deep in wrapping paper, glue and glitter!

This is of my eldest daughter Chloe taken at our local park xx

 

Christmas Cookie Jars

Christmas Pressies for the Aunties!

Its surprising what you can do with a couple of Dolmio jars xx

Busy!

What a busy few weeks we have had I cant believe christmas in only 3 sleeps away, what is the man in red going to bring this year?

I have some crafty christmas pressies on the go at the moment, I made a hanging for my boss shown below and I have made some cookie jars form the CCW inspiration will update with some pictures tomorrow as they are not quite ready.

I have other good news I entered the Scrapbook Magazine Scrapbooker of the year competition and came runner which was a bit of a shock as only entered on a bit of a whim I didnt actually think I would get anywhere.  I'm still waiting to recieve the magazine which the layouts have been published in I think it maybe stuck in Christmas post.

Well hopefully may get some scrapping done in between wrapping, cooking and keeping the kids occupied  xx

Christmas is here!!

Yeah it's the 1st of December!  Well a few christmas bits have started to make an appearance around the house, the girls are busy practising songs and dances for there Nativity's and I have joined Shimelle Laines "Journal yor Christmas" which is going to keep me busy.  In between everything already planned I may do a spot of other crafy, hmmm we will see?

No crafting

What a terrible week it has been for crafting! I have been so busy with work, orgnanishing patomine trip, christmas nativity with 20 preschool kids and chrismas displays.  My girls have been super busy as well and to top it off hubby has been away, so all in all not alot of craftyness has been done.  Hopefully something may get done tonight, although there is a huge pile of ironing calling my name!!
