Christmas in July

  A few people have asked me to start adding to my blog again, It is nice to be missed
 I am still loving crafting and most afternoons can be found in my Craft room.
I still keep my Craft room as tidy and organised as I can , even with a big room things can get a tad chaotic and messy.

Over at Crafter's Companion it's Christmas in July , HSN show is 12th July so today I am sharing the Christmas Topper Pads

Wow did I have fun with these beauties!!

They look lovely layered up or on the own, why not mix and match?

The Paper is also a new pad - they work so well together

I love making sets of things so a Card, bag and matching tag, with the most adorable teddies what's not to love?

Have a great day and I promise to be back real soon

Gnome House & Tag ~ Crafty Ribbons

I so love being part of the Crafty Ribbons DT

We get lots of lush ribbons to play with stroke

While I was deciding on my  project I had Christmas in mind.....

But Then.............

I spotted them  Eeeeeeeekkkkk OMG Gnome Ribbon, Christmas was soon forgotten as I set to work

I made the Gnome House first, I cut it out on my portrait using red and white card stock

and then used the following

Gnome Ribbon - Mushroom ~ around the base

Gnome Ribbon - Garden Gnomes ~ for cut out Gnomes (can you spot the nosy one peeping out the door)

Summer Festival - Wellie Ribbon~ for the boots

Volcan Viscose White Lace and 5mm Gingham red/white ~for the curtains

I added a few die cuts and ladybird stamps and my little house was complete

I then made my tag ~ also cut out on my portrait

The ribbons I used for this are

Gnome Ribbon - Mushroom ~ around the base

5mm Gingham red/white ~for the top of tag

For the tag background I used Distress Oxides, and doodles round with a black micron pen. I die cut a few tiny flowers, painted them and then used Liquid pearls in the centers

I did a few circles using white Gesso and an old water spray lid (knew it would come in handy)

The Gnome is called Pete and is from Make it Crafty, he is  a real cute cheeky chappie. I coloured him up with Graph'It Markers. 

Thank you for looking

EEEkkkk exciting news ~ Crafty Ribbons

So Super Excited to say.......

I am now part of the Crafty Ribbons DT

I have always loved Ali's lovely Ribbons and a few years back made various ribbon samples for shows etc ,so it was an honour to become part of the team.
The only problem I can see is what ribbons to choose for my upcoming projects, Oh My drool, drool there are so many to choose from, I have so many ideas I had to start my own notebook.

I have my Granddaughter staying (again) for a few weeks , we just love crafting together, so I let her choose what we should make. We made this on Tuesday after a visit on Monday to the safari park where she had spotted Reindeers so this was quite an apt make.
Using a couple of files from SIL store I cut out the bag and the gift card holder and Felicity glued them together. We added some googly eyes . Felicity made two little red bows and stuck them on , and then adhered the little golden bells.
I attached the ribbon bag handle.

 Once the holly was stuck on I gave it a shine of glossy accents.

And this is the lushness we used from Crafty Ribbons
Bows - 7mm Country check
Bag strap and Gift card holder strip - Christmas Owl Ribbon
Button - Basics 2 Go Buttons

Polkadoodles Crafting ~Christmas Organiser

Happy Friday to you all hope you all have a great weekend

I am sharing with you a Christmas Organiser that I made

It took a few days to make but I did love the outcome.

I started of with the file from Sandra's that you can find here

Organiser Template

I used buff card from Papermill direct as its nice and sturdy and a good colour choice for a Christmas project

Once my project was all cut out I  inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink.

I then used the lovely

Winnie Winterland to decorate

this was totally fun

Not only is it decorated outside but also inside

I filled it with bits n bobs for Christmas

Like tags, cards, bows, flowers etc

This is the inside that lifts out

and here is the drawer that pulls out

 A quick look at the inside

Some cards with matching envelopes

I totally loved making this and already have plans to make another

Here is a little capture of many more photos there really is so much to see
