CHRISTMAS

Ooh the month of parties and celebrations! Christmas always makes me feel nostalgic and so inspired, I created this Vintage Snow Globe. Come and see the different layers over on my blog.

Good morning, it's December, so the countdown to Christmas starts now! Unfortunately I'm still in mid June so waaaay behind. I need cards, and quickly, so it's out with the Tim Holtz stamps and die sets.

There are lots more pictures over on my blog and it would be great if you could visit x

You could be forgiven to think I I'm totally confused and still working to our previous Stars theme... but no I'm definitely thinking Christmas and my idea was really about Silent night... just WITHOUT the snow since, in England, white Christmases are few and far between! Come and see my how I made this card on my blog!

Monika

I have brought you a paper banner for Christmas because I love to make home decorations and I love banners. On my blog you will find two Christmas banners with two different purples, with two different texts (NOEL-CHRISTMAS) and with two different techniques. So if you want to know more, please hop on my blog! Thank you!

And the countdown begins! I thought I would make an Advent Calendar Clock for my two grandchildren and had great fun using up lots of scraps of favourite papers from the last few years. It is not an easy project to photograph as it is to hang on the wall in their Play Room but do please join me over on my blog for more details and some close up photographs of the individual elements.

Jane

Hooray the real countdown to Christmas starts today. I have my list written and I'm checking it twice. I made a snowy card for today's Christmas challenge as I am sure we all secretly wish for a White Christmas; there is something magical about snow isn't there.

If you would like to see how my snowy scene was created please pop over to my blog here

where a very warm welcome awaits you. 

Bye for now,

Hazel

Getting really excited now as we launch our Country View Crafts December theme.

I have chosen a new embossing folder and lots of glitter.

To find the details, please visit my blog.

I am not all that keen on Christmas and probably look a bit like this dog when the day arrives...lol

I do love these Crazy Dogs though and paired with this sentiment I think it makes a funny scene.. I filmed the process of making this page. You find the link for the video on my blog HERE.

I will be back later in the month with more inspiration.. 

Merry Christmas !

I love Christmas and the opportunity to dust off my seasonal stamps! These sketchy stamps from Tim Holtz seemed particularly under used so it was lovely to get them inky! Gabrielle x

Brenda

Christmas is my most favourite time of the year and I love all the hype and buildup to the big day, but it is a time for family and friends, for gatherings and for reflecting on what Christmas really means. 

To celebrate the start of advent and the time for preparations and fun I have made a vintage style mosaic easel card, Tim Holtz style. Hope you like it, if you do you can see more photos and designs over at Bumblebees and Butterflies. 

Enjoy your own preparations for the big day. xxx
