My Christmas House!

Having finally got all my craft fairs out the way for the year, I've got round to making some stuff for ME!

This year, I decided I wanted to make a gingerbread house, but the more I thought about it, the more it sounded like hardwork! lol Then on my last trip to Pickleberry Papercrafts I spotted this cute little wooden house and decided that sounded like a far more sensible idea!

A quick coat of paint, some Sassafras Life at the Pole papers, Doodlebug paper frills, buttons and a bit of Tulle and it was finished within half an hour - that's more like it!

And it even has cute little drawers to hide sweeties in (and then find them forgotten about and mouldy next year! lol)

Will have more projects to share soon!

Scrummy Velvet!

Scrummy Stash Cafe blog set the challenge this week to use material on your card. I made this one using my December ribbon kit from Little Silver hat, which includes this gorgeous black velvet ric rac - I hope that counts as material!!

This also qualifies for this week's Daring Cardmakers dare to use stripes.

Caardvarks - Rickrack challenge

Caardvarks set the challenge to make a card with rick rack on - now this wasn't difficult as I LOVE the stuff!!

Again, using the Scrapworks seasons of joy papers from Scrummy Stash Cafe.

SSC - colour it in

This weekend's challenge over on the Scrummy Stash Cafe blog was to "colour it in", which meant I just had to drag out my trusty Penny Black snowman stamp! I coloured it in with Brush markers (am rubbish with watercolours!) and used the Scrapworks seasons of joy kit from SSC.

DCM - buttons and bows

Daring Cardmakers little extra this week was to make a card with buttons and bows. Here's my effort using the Scrapworks seasons of joy papers and the chipboard tree is by K&Co.
