Fabric Wreath.....


For the last couple of days I have been using up some of my scraps of Christmas fabric and have made this Christmas wreath....its made with 2" squares cut out with pinking scissors which are then pushed into a wreath shaped polystyrene ring.
I did use the blunt end of a BBQ stick to push the fabric in with but my fingers are so sore from holding and pushing the stick in  (its pushed not glued)  ..I added some gold berries which I found in our local garden centre....
I am supposed to be making two of these but need to give my poor fingers a reast for a couple of days...

Now I need to get on with making the last of my Christmas cards..

P.S.  After reading Patricia's comment I might just glue  the next one....thanks for the tip..

Create a card die.....

Trying to catch my tail again this week and I haven't made a card for 2 weeks but thought I had better post something....this is a card I made using one of the Crafters Companion Die-Sire Create a Card template.. 
I also used Sue Wilsons Pine leaves and Filigree Ponettia which is lovely...my ponsettia is white and silver but doesn't show up very well in the photograph, the sentiment dies are from All Occasion Dies...

I really need to get my finger out and finish off my Christmas cards...why do I leave it so late every year???

Sorry also for not visiting your blogs I will try and do so this week...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by...

November Craft Club....

 Sorry for the lack of blogging but have been busy with craft club samples a craft fair and we also managed to get away for a few days..
For this months club the girls did 3 projects the first one was this Snowglobe where we used the Tattered Lace Christmas dies that came with one of their magazines...the little reindeer is one from a set from Obession Impression dies.


 Our second project was a card with a little gift wallet inside...the was a digit one, and the holly leaves Sue Wilsons Holly branch.....
 Inside we made a little gift wallet using the Stampin Up Gift card Envelope & trims thinlet dies...
We ended the evening by making this big snowflake..from 6 x 4" squares....we used plain white paper for our sample but these look gorgeous made from designer paper...

Sorry my photo's are brilliant but the weather yesterday was awfal and it was so dark....today though we have sunshine..

I will try and get round to visiting your blog to see what you've been up to while I've been AWOL...

Hope you have a good weekend...
