Advent calendar muffin tray
What else can you use a muffin tin for? Christmas is just around the corner and you may already be thinking about home baking... Have you ever thought what the similarity is between a muffin tin and an advent calendar.... If you had asked me a few weeks ago, I would have probably said chocolate.... What else? Anyway, with a 24 bun case tin, it can be very easily turned into an Advent Calendar. If you haven't bought your calendar yet, why not give it a go..... It can then easily be used for...
Holiday Home and White Christmas tealight decoration/card
Are you free on Saturday morning? My class at Running with Scissors this Saturday (8th November), still has several places remaining, if you fancy making a christmas table decoration or card, with a difference. The card below, features 2 windows created using vellum, which has been stamped and embossed to give it that special textured look and allows the light to come through. The card comes complete with a battery operated tea-light, so there is no risk of fire, when in operation. The...
Festival of trees christmas stamp a stack part II
Here is the second set of cards made at last weeks 'Christmas Stamp a Stack' classes. All 15 cards were made in 5 designs, 3 cards of each. The first 2 designs were featured in the previous post... I'm sure lots of people will receive them or a similar design this Christmas, featuring the tree design from the 'Festival of Trees' set. A simple design of a single tree decoupaged onto an embossed strip with a couple of rhinestones and silver star. The sentiment is from the Endless Wishes...

The time of year has come around for another Christmas Stamp-a-Stack session.

Something For Baby Box Frames
Today I am sharing a 'baby' theme of the box frame that we made in a recent class. The principle of a box frame is very versatile and can be used to showcase delicate items or 3D decoupage, which is then protected by the glass. The first one I made coincided with the requirement to make a small gift for a newborn baby girl, back in July, which was also the time of the new catalogue and my annual launch party. The need for a baby theme, enabled me to promote the 'something for baby'...

Wondrous wreath christmas box frame
Last Saturday was my latest class at 'Running with Scissors'. The project (apart from the challenge of eating the huge chocolate cookie - thanks Trish) was to make a Christmas box decoration/gift. Well, quoting one of my ladies 'We had great fun' and it really started to get us in the Christmas spirit to prepare for seeing all the Christmas Trees and decorations already on sale in the Town Centre shops. The box frame was pre-made and could either be used with a cream or white insert. 8...

Holiday Home
In the run-up to Christmas, I have a challenge for my weekly classes to do a different theme each week. We started making christmas cards at the Friday class in Keelby at the start of October and so far the feedback has been excellent. The 2 cards below are the ones we made last week. Both were based on a 'home' theme and features houses. The first actually reminds me of a place we recently visited in Norway. Card 1 Part of the whisper white card was masked with a piece of torn paper and...
1st birthday
As a change from the usual birthday, anniversary and christmas cards, I was faced a couple of weeks ago with a new challenge, the 1st birthday of my daughters best friends baby. With it being her first birthday (she is so cute and was walking well before 12 months) I wanted to include the traditional 'ONE' and also her name 'ISLA'. As a background, I decided to create the card in the shape of a number one. I didn't have a large enough die cut or template, so I had to draw it freehand I kept...
