Frame It and wrap It Pretty!

Happy Monday all.
It's a beautiful Autumn day here. It is chilly but the sun is out. Stepping outside takes one's breath away but boy it's exhilerating!
These photos are long overdue. They are of the upcoming class I have this week (yes this week ... I know).
With Christmas just a month away I thought a gift would make a nice class. My wonderful upline Carol showed me how to create a fabulous photo frame and I thought it would make a lovely gift.

 I have co-ordinated it with with a gift box (It's one of the SU! Kraft gift boxes ... it doesn't fit the frame but it's cute!) and a gift tag.
I kept the white frame of the tag blank so you could stamp whatever sentiment or image you needed on it.
Here's a photo of them ...

 I have used the gorgeous 'International Bazaar' DSP from SU!. The colours and patterns are so rich and striking.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I hope my creations inspired you!

Signing On...

Happy Sunday all:)
I have been busy lately making stock for the upcoming 'Christmas At The Market' that I participate in. A while ago I came across an idea using wooden paint sticks to make Christmas decorations and thought they were too cute not to try myself.
These are just a few of what I came up with...

 

I love how they turned out!
I hope your weekend has been a good one and thanks for stopping by and taking a peek :)

Sensational Snowflakes

Happy Sunday all :)
I have pics of this weeks class projects to share with you today. I have used the new 'Snow Flurry' die for the Big Shot to create them all.

Above is the card I made using the negative piece of the snowflake cut-out. I sponged over it several times then dry embossed the piece of cardstock to give it some texture. I added some handsome Midnight Muse ribbon and silver embossing powder. Not your conventional Christmas card but striking nonetheless.

The second project uses the same snowflake image ... yes I do mean that the flower is made with snowflakes!
This wonderful idea came from a fellow demonstrator on the SU! Demo site. I love that you can use something so winter related to create something else. That's definite value for money!

 

 

Lucky last is the 3D snowflake ornament...

 

 

I had a couple of snowflakes cut out and was trying to decide what to make with them, when one of my DD's came into my room and said "They'd make a great 3D ornament Mum".

Thanks DD for your inspiration and thank you my readers for stopping by and taking a peek :)

 

The Christmas Class Is A Go!

Happy Wednesday :)
Today I'm excited to share with you the projects for my upcoming All Day Christmas class.
I had given you a sneaky peek of the wreath project, but here it is in it's entirety. Isn't it gorgeous?!
I love the Candy Cane feel the colours and patterns have. It is a "sweet" project for sure!

The wreath is the main (most time consuming!) project for the day.

The second project is this adorable decorative hanger ...

 

Each stocking can hold a small chocolate bar or Candy Cane. I have used the same handsome Bronze buttons and DSP as the wreath but have used the new cotton ribbon as the hanger.

Here's a closer pic...

 

Notice the embossing on the body of the stocking? I wasn't sure it would fit in the embossing folder but luckily it did!

Lastly is a cute wee project. At my last ASI Team meeting in Truro, one of the lovely ladies (Hi Linda!) showed us a sweet chocolate holder idea. Here is my take on it ...

 

This time I have used the cute Snow Festival DSP. Add some ribbon and these are the perfect gift when you want to give something small.

And what's inside?

Hmmmmm, that's not a hard question ...  all good gift boxes should contain chocolate!

 

So there you have it, my 2012 All Day Christmas Class projects!

A Sneaky Peek

Happy Sunday all :)
Today's post is a sneaky peek at one of the projects for the upcoming All Day Christmas class.
I had said I was going to include a wreath as one of the projects and here's a photo of part of it.
I've used the delicious 'Be Of Good Cheer' DSP, Gumball Green ribbon and handsome Brushed Bronze buttons. This wreath makes quite a statement!
I will post more photos over the next few days so make sure you come back and visit!

Easy Envelope Album

Happy Sunday :)
It's been a wee while since I last posted and I do apologise. I have a friend visiting from NZ who has been unwell so she has been a main priority. It's bad enough being sick in your own home but in another country is on another level again!

I realised today that I haven't posted what my class is going to be this coming week so here it is.
It's a photo album made from envelopes. It is just the right size to fit in your handbag if you want a brag book. The album holds 6 photos in total.

Here's a look at the album opened up...

You can decoarate your album to suit whatever occasion you might like. It would make a gorgeous Grandparent Brag Book or a simple gift to send someone from your wedding. I haven't stamped anything in the small pink ovals but you could either stamp a sentiment in them or handwrite the names of the people in the photographs.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek :)

An Awesome ASI Challenge

Happy Wednesday :)
Today I'm sharing the awesome challenge fellow ASI team member Louise, came up with.
We were to make a card kit for each team member and send it to them. We then had to make a card with said kits. At our team meeting last weekend we got to see each others creations.
It was amazing to see how differently people interpreted the kits and in some cases how freakily similar some were!
Here's the card I made, the kits I sent and the cards that were created by my fellow ASI team members...
