I have a little gift to show you today.  This super cute chocolate holder. I CASed the idea from Lyn, one of my team members who gave me a similar one as a swap at Convention. Thank you Lyn for your inspiration.   These would be great as wedding/party favours, as you could easily match the party colour scheme. I have used season of style designer series paper, cherry cobbler red cardstock, curly label punch,1 1/4" circle punch, baked brown sugar ruffle stretch trim and cherry...

Morning everyone! I hope you are all ready for that big day in a couple of days time. We had a lovely afternoon yesterday, visiting the local church for a carol service which was then followed on by singing some more at  'Carols in the Barn' in our village to get us all in the Christmas mood. Although it was a bit cold, there was mulled wine and mince pies to keep us warm.  We celebrated our last card class of 2013 at Keelby with a little christmas party. We listened to Michael Buble...

The Christmas tree was up in time for the last class I did at home and we celebrated with mince pies and chocolates. We made this beautiful card in a box which was the inspiration from a fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator Monica. Here is a link to her website with a fabulous tutorial and easy to follow instructions What I love about this card is that it actually  folds down flat and just fits into a 6 x 6" envelope., but if you can't bare to part with it, it also makes a...

I have finally finished all my Christmas cards. In total I have made a whopping 100 handmade cards!

Like the pet advert 'Not just for...
