Day 22 Christmas Countdown at CCW

Another smile from Oona on day 33. Is there someone in your family who always answers, “Nothing” when you ask them what they’d like for Christmas? Now you can give them just what they asked for … a jar of nothing! LOL Pop over to Creative Craft World The Blog for a link to Oona’s instructions.

Day 21 Christmas Countdown at CCW Advent Calendar

I can't believe we are already on day 21 of our Christmas Countdown over on Creative Craft World The Blog. That means in only 10 days time it will be December, now that's a scary thought!!

It is my turn today to provide the project and I have made this advent tree, the little hanging cones have sweets inside, yummy - and yes of course I had to sample them and they are rather delicious!! The advent tree was super easy and cheap to make and is great for using up all those odd scraps of papers, I even recycled some old wallpaper samples for some of the cones. I have made a quick tutorial here.

The twigs are from a very bare looking shrub in my garden! I am entering this into the following challenges:

Sir Stampalot - Christmas Traditions, you can't get more traditional than an advent calendar!

Let's ink it up! - Recycling - just about eveerything on here is recycled (apart from the sweets lol)

Something Completely Different - Numbers!

Make sure you join us again tomorrow as it will definitely make you smile!

Day 20 Christmas Countdown at CCW

Day 20 (already!) and it’s Lou’s turn to continue our countdown. Lou’s project is a super little ‘to do’ list – ideal as a stocking filler, end-of-term gift for teachers, craft item for the school fair, etc. A link to Lou’s instructions are on Creative Craft World The Blog.

Want to know what we have tomorrow ..?

You’ll have to come back here to find out!

Sketch time at Sweet Pea Stampers

Hi all

This time over on Sweet Pea Stampers we have a sketch by the "boss" for you to follow!

I am still on a mission trying to use up all my old paper stacks, even more so my husband has semi finished my craft room, whoop whoop, it is GREAT apart from the kids seem to like it now so I can't get a look in at the moment! The best bit is I have now found my dining table again haha. Best get on and get sorting things out into their new home, only thing is as I rediscover long forgotten and neglected stash I want a play with it all!!




The stamp I used is Caribbean Treasure, coloured in with Promarkers. Papers are MME.
