Last minute Christmas cards

T'was the night before Christmas...................and I have finally finished my Christmas cards!!!
These two I actually finished yesterday, but only delivered them today.
They were made using the TLC (Technique Lover's Challenge) from splitcoast last week. Using the 2 different size tag punches to make these lovely stars or flowers.


Again I have used the simply scrappin kit Winter Bright. Stamps used on the first one are from lovely letters. I think the silver hodgepodge finishes it off nicely.












The stamp used on the second one is from Many Merry Messages. The glitter in the centre of the flower is the chunky sprinkles from the summer mini. It is the first chance I have had to try it and I am quite happy.






Well the children are out of the bath and very excited wanting to get ready for Santas visit tonight.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends. Looking forward to a wonderful 2009.

Teachers gift tags

I found this ornament on Splitcoast and decided to try one. It was so easy I made more and am going to use them as gift tags for the kinder teachers presents.



















These ones have been made using the simply scrappin kit Winter Brights.

It is basically squares layered with the base square 3.75" x 3.75",
then 3.5"x3.5", 3.25"x3.25", 3"x3", 2.75"x2.75",2.5"x2.5" and the final square is 2"x2". I have put a jumbo eyelet in the top and threaded ribbon through.

Hopefully the kinder teachers will like them.

Christamas market 2

This is my market stall. The Lara CFA Christmas market was held last Saturday. The weather was kind, it didn't rain, it wasn't too hot and the wind only came in short gusts.
I was really pleased with the interest I had for Stampin' Up!
It was a great experience being on the other side of a market stall and although there wasn't the crowd of other years it was encouraging to see so many people in Lara interested in stamping, card making and scrapbooking.
It is certainly something I will do again next year. And also thanks to those friends who came along just to say hi, it was nice to see so many familiar faces.

It is difficult to believe it is December, but it is great to see people (especially children) getting into the Christmas spirit.
