Tattered Lace.....

Christmas just seemed to have flashed but we had a lovely time with all the grandchildren...seeing their faces as they open their presents was just lovely.

I've managed to pick up some kind of chesty bug so don't feel like doing much crafting at the moment but here's a card I started to make before Christmas and finished it off this morning.... 

Its a Tattered Lace die that came with the Tattered Lace magazine Issue No 13 and she is called Georgina...
I've Just kept it simple by adding paper from my stash, SU border embossing folder and a couple of corner dies.

Happy Christmas.....

Just popping in to wish you and your family A Very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year...
When out shopping this morning I couldn't believe my eyes lots of daffodils in full bloom.....I thought it was spring rather than Christmas...

Hope Father Christmas is good to you all....

December craft night.......

Sorry for the lack of posts this week but its been a busy week with the grandchildren's Nativity plays we've seen two this week....dont they just bring a lump in your throat?

It was out last Crafty Bunch meeting of the year and the girls made this lovely Christmas tree using rolled wrapping paper and popped onto an embossed background, its much better in real life as the camera didn't like the shiny papers.  Afterwards we tucked into some lovely food and a Christmas quiz...hopefully all the ladies enjoyed it.
Its thinking caps on now for projects to do in 2015.

I've at last finished all my Christmas cards so hopefully I can have a bit of 'me' time in the craft room....

Fabric Wreath.....

For the last couple of days I have been using up some of my scraps of Christmas fabric and have made this Christmas wreath....its made with 2" squares cut out with pinking scissors which are then pushed into a wreath shaped polystyrene ring.
I did use the blunt end of a BBQ stick to push the fabric in with but my fingers are so sore from holding and pushing the stick in  (its pushed not glued)  ..I added some gold berries which I found in our local garden centre....
I am supposed to be making two of these but need to give my poor fingers a reast for a couple of days...

Now I need to get on with making the last of my Christmas cards..

P.S.  After reading Patricia's comment I might just glue  the next one....thanks for the tip..

Create a card die.....

Trying to catch my tail again this week and I haven't made a card for 2 weeks but thought I had better post something....this is a card I made using one of the Crafters Companion Die-Sire Create a Card template.. 
I also used Sue Wilsons Pine leaves and Filigree Ponettia which is lovely...my ponsettia is white and silver but doesn't show up very well in the photograph, the sentiment dies are from All Occasion Dies...

I really need to get my finger out and finish off my Christmas cards...why do I leave it so late every year???

Sorry also for not visiting your blogs I will try and do so this week...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by...

November Craft Club....

 Sorry for the lack of blogging but have been busy with craft club samples a craft fair and we also managed to get away for a few days..
For this months club the girls did 3 projects the first one was this Snowglobe where we used the Tattered Lace Christmas dies that came with one of their magazines...the little reindeer is one from a set from Obession Impression dies.

 Our second project was a card with a little gift wallet inside...the was a digit one, and the holly leaves Sue Wilsons Holly branch.....

 Inside we made a little gift wallet using the Stampin Up Gift card Envelope & trims thinlet dies...

We ended the evening by making this big snowflake..from 6 x 4" squares....we used plain white paper for our sample but these look gorgeous made from designer paper...

Sorry my photo's are brilliant but the weather yesterday was awfal and it was so dark....today though we have sunshine..

I will try and get round to visiting your blog to see what you've been up to while I've been AWOL...

Hope you have a good weekend...

Stampin Up Christmas Extravaganza Day.....

 What a fabulous day we had yesterday with the lovely Jenny Moors of Stamping Moments....Jenny had some brilliant projects for us to make and here's what we  did...
We  made a  fabulous box using the new Box Making board...of course I just have to have one of these!....loved our gorgous star card which we stamped and punched out the borders....and then we made an amazing Christmas bauble ....

 The stamp set we were given to use was Festival of Trees....and we made these fabulous cards to start with...just love the sentiment dies and the pretty snowflakes.

 We then had a choice of making a Star book or making single cards I decided to make the single cards and made them from the bits we were given....sadly time ran out and I did't get time to make my Christmas tags and I have also got one more Christmas card to make to complete my set..

 It's a such fun day crafting together and once again we had a 'full house' 36 ladies...The work Jenny puts in to our Extravaganza days is amazing she works so hard not only preparing every thing for us to make but  we also had 3 tables full of card samples and projects that she had made from other Stampin Up products....needless to say my 'wish list' has grown and grown....Thank you Jenny from all of the Crafty Bunch girls...
  
I shall be missing for a couple of weeks as the grandchildren arrive and I have a busy week next week and not a lot to time to craft.
