There's soot in my sack (not really)

Remember the little goody bags from a couple of posts ago, well this is what was inside!  Some yummy chocky and a wee (fits in Stampin' Up!s top note die) diary.

I hope your Santa goody bag is filled with lots of good cheer, love and fun this Yuletide - happy Christmas everyone :D

It's definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas !

Eeeeeeee it's nearly Christmas!  Hope your festive plans are all in hand.  As usual a forced deadline of relatives appearing and the last posting day being tomorrow forces nudges me into action lol!  Anyway we're back in the room and today's card is one of my Christmas faves, I love the layout and the little heart punch out of the long bunting makes me happy (I know crazy lady alert but YOU understand me right?).

Have a great day & see you soon.

He's making a list

I can gladly blog about these mini muslin goody bags now as they have be given to my crafty class ladies and friends when I saw them in my last class of the year at the end of November.  I won't reveal what is inside just yet as there is one special lady who hasn't had her's yet!

This technique is fab and uses tissue paper transferred directly on to the muslin bag.  I was completely inspired and instructed from the fab video tutorial here.  Hope you have a great day & see you soon.

Ooh back with a bright cheery number from last month's clay class.  The ladies were in love with Stampin' Up!s simply pressed clay and I have to admit to some serious clay squishing adoration too!  My stationery pegs were completely inspired by Michelle Wooderson's blog header and I couldn't wait to recreate my own version, with of course an accompanying card.

Ebony & Ivory

How-do everyone, back today with a little gift ensemble I made recently for a truly lovely friend and customer.  

The box that I housed the cards was made using Stampin' Up!s 'Tag a Bag gift boxes'.  I re-purposed them with a little snip across the acetate cover and a Velcro dot to hold the cover in place.  They happily house five C6 cards and envelopes.

Hope you have a great day and if you are in Swansea this Saturday, I will be in the pop up craft fair in Swansea market - I am really looking forward to it!

Hello! back with a few pics from the Oh! you crafty thing fair I did last Saturday in the Dragon Hotel in Swansea.  It was a great day, there were some seriously talented crafters there.  The photos were taken by the professional photographer there and so big thanks goes to him.
