Finally.......some crafting

I rediscovered my mojo this evening and have spent the whole evening putting together some xmas cards - after spitting the dummy out the other day :)

I had already sorted out the images: Penny Black's Merry Kitty and Greetings from the wise and punched them out using the biggest woodware scallop circle punch and the next size down punch was used to punch out the greetings I had printed out onto white card. So tonight I spent punching big daisies to back the greetings, and cutting circles with the x-cut shape cutter, then assembling all the bits. Adding some of the shiny new trims from Papermania.

Earlier on, the girls were playing around with a couple discarded cardboard boxes - maybe I should get them boxes for their xmas instead of any contents lol

Here's Willow looking all sorry for herself, complete with her black eye....

And Faith sporting her sister's snowman hairslides..... complete with perennially mucky face.

Xmas trees, teachers gifts, and black eyes

Just a quick update, we put the xmas tree and inside decs up on Sunday - haven't had a chance to put up the outside lights and inflatable santa and snowman yet, but will post pics once they are up.

Those are the finished teachers gifts - I made the wee boxes from whole sheets of 12x12 paper in a previous post, and to finish them off I bought some cellophane and curling ribbon on eBay. I think they look quite good.

And finally, this is Willow's black eye! No she hasn't been boxing lol she came off worst when her wee sister Faith decided to smack her with the remote control. 

What does this remind you of

Have a lookie at this jumper and tell me what it reminds you of. 

BTW Matalan have started selling some of their ranges online

Getting back to the jumper - doesn't it look like it was inspired by BG's Ambrosia collection? or is it just me?

And just so you all know, I have spat the dummy oot and will be sending out bought xmas cards this year. Have totally lost my creative mojo when it comes to xmas card making, everything I did yesterday with them looked like something my 2 year old could have done better. So, I've decided it's not worth the stress. 

Bah Humbug!!! :(

wee update for Mar.... this is the BG Ambrosia collection
