CCW Christmas Countdown - Day 6

Christmas Countdown 2012 - Day 6

49 Sleeps to go

Welcome to day 6 of our countdown, today's festive project s a LO I have been working on. It is Poppy seeing Santa last christmas, this was the first time she had met him and at just 2 she was abit scared, this year will be completely different as she is already asking to see him.

I have handstitched all around the layers on this LO, I was inspired by some projects on the Echo Park blog, so using the very merry christmas collection pack I ended up with this.

I would like to enter this in the Scrap365 December sketch challenge.

Scrapping again...

Well I have managed to do a couple of little crafty bits recently, some decorations for some jubilee cupcakes, will post these when made and decorated the cakes.

I have also managed a LO, I got my inspiration from the Scrap365 blog so will enter it into their monthly challenge which can be found here

I have used the gorgeous MME Hoowdy Doody collection, I have been lovingly looking at the pins and buttons of this collection for weeks but finally took the plunge and got them. They can be found here at Creative Craft World.

This picture shows the embellishments and little banners I have used to decorate the one side of the pictures. It also shows that I have stitched each of the buttons onto the LO, I have used white thread so a bit hard to see on the main picture.

Here I have shown the use of the Martha Stewart punch to create the frilly look along the bottom of the patterned papers. This is my favourite punch at the moment, have only had it a couple of weeks but used it quite alot.

Then finally the picture of the banners on the other side of the pictures.

Thank you for looking and will try scrap and post more soon.

Scrap365 Challenge

Well I needed some inspiration to get my scrapping mojo going again, it seems to disappear alot these days and am always struggling to get through the huge pile of photos from the past few years.

Then I discovered the Scrap365 challenges and thought I would give it a go, I don't really go into entering challenges and things but hey I need to get my scrapping mojo back once and for all.

I used the April Kit from Creative Craft World, which is available here

I decided to scrap some of my favourite pictures of my daughter Poppy, this was last year and she was picking and eating the grapes off the vine. It is the first time using my new camera which I had for my birthday so this must be late September.

The Challenge blog can be found here and I would like to enter it into the May challenge.

 

 Thank you for taking the time to come and look at my work.
