Owlie Gift bag

Its time for a new challenge over at

The Stamping Boutique

This time the challenge is paper piecing/piercing !!

I made this round gift bag for the challenge.

I used the digi image Owl twice

on this bag! A bigger and smaller one!

I paper pieced both of them with Nitwits papers.

And the paper I used for the gift bag matches !

I used my spellbinder dies to cut the circles

A strip of paper scored and cut makes the bit

to pop your gift in adhered to the two circles!

Flowers are from K&Co and leaves are a Martha Stewart punch.
I punched two sets of holes and tied ribbon
through them so that the gift bag is closed !

Well I better get on, so much to do and so little time !!!
Not only do I have all the Xmas goodies to bake, pressies to wrap
but my little girl is two on Xmas eve so all the party to plan for too !!!
Off to make some Red Onion Marmalade to go with my pate !
Happy crafting.

Get your Skates on

Its time for another Christmas Card Club Challenge !

This time Sue set the challenge 

Get your Skates on !

So ........ scratch head ........ images ???
Lightbulb moment !!! I had one

on my Polka Doodles CD Angelberry ! 

I made a tag, I was running out f time and needed something quick !

Papers and Image from the CD.

I inked the edges with Distress inks and glittered them up.

Punched a hole and added ribbons !!

Well its nearly Christmas .............. better go wrap some 

pressies !!! I haven't even started to write cards !!

Have a great day.

For the Christmas table.

That's the challenge this week for the. DT at Polka Doodles !!!
Make something for the Christmas table !
It's open for Anything goes from anyone tho! 

Check out the other DT's projects and join the fun !!

Oh I got so excited at this challenge and its

the last one for our team this year so I got really excited !! 

So I made two projects !!!

I know ........... sad !!! lol !!!

For my first project .......

Every year I make peppermint creams 

to have with coffee after dinner ........

So I thought .......... how about something to serve them in.

Mmm ...... and I would really like to make a sleigh ........

This is what I came up with !

I used the A Home for Christmas CD

I used the embellishment of Santa flying in his sleigh

and blew it up in my graphics program until

it was a size I wanted, printed it four times.

Then flipped it horizontally and printed four more times.

I cut out and decoupaged and adhered all the pieces together

until I had two sides that were printed either side

and decoupaged on the outsides. 

I then printed a paper from the CD and cut a strip from it

curving one end. I adhered to either side of the sleigh

to make a place to hold my peppermint creams !

I added some tissue paper to make it look glam and of course

I glittered the sleigh stars and words and Santa with my Stickles !

When I showed it to Caitlyn she said it would make a nice gift box too ...... 

My second project was VERY quick and simple.

I made these Christmas trees from papers from the A Home for Christmas CD

I drew a triangle and then drew the same triangle either side of the first

so it was attached, cut out folded and adhered together !!

I used a heart from the embellishments on the CD, adhered it to a 

cocktail stick and placed it down the top of the tree !! 

I thought they would look great in the middle of the table amongst

the dishes stood in groups !

Hope you like my projects !

There is a challenge next week at Polka Doodles 

presented by the other half of the team.

Our Half of the team will be back in the new year !!

Remember there is also the Digi Choosday challenges too !!
