Christmas Wreaths

The more I craft the more I love making 3d items and at the moment I am totally in love with making wreaths. Not only do I think the finished product is adorable, but I find them quite theraputic to make as they are so repetitive (you can make them watching a film). These ones I have made using a polysterene ring (apporx 10 inches), curled DSP and a glue gun. I also bought a cheap berry wreath from poundland which I dismantled to make the holly sprigs and berries on the tree.

The wreaths take apporximately 5 sheets of double sided 12x12, which I cut and curl in advance, probably 10 mini glue sticks and 3-4 hours to make.  The tree was only 2 sheets of paper and the strips are shorter so that it curls less and took about 2 hours. I hope you like them I am really pleased with them.

Cards from the Kids

I am finding that I just do not have the time to make everything I wanted to for Christmas and so I have been trying to keep things as simple as I can and one thing I have been doing is making small simple cards for the boy's to give to their friends and treachers. Determined I am not going to go out and buy any cards (like I had to last year) here are some of the designs I have come up with:

Gifts for The Girls

Today I would like to share with you some little gifts I have made for my work colleagues in the office to go with their christmas cards. We already do a secret santa, so these are just little gesture gifts really, an office girl can never have to many note pads I say!!

They all have their initial embossed on the front so we don't get muddled whilst desk sharing. I hope you like them thanks for stopping by.

My Crazy Crafters

Wednesday was our crazy crafters night and we had a full house, so I have finally taken a photo of the motley crew. Here we all are very industrious with all our Christmas craft projects:
