Tree number 2 finished and twinkling in our bedroom. The tree is a mulberry wine colour and the decs are pale gold,wine and chocolate coloured.

Merry Chrimbletide. First tree just finished blue and silver this year

Festive wreaths, the 'how to' is HERE.

These take very little paper to make. I have used the same setof 5 My Mind's Eye papers to make a calendar, a flat tree and one of these wreaths and I still have at least 1/4 of each sheet left. (The top light green one)

The top dark green one is also made from leftovers from another project.

The bottom one is BG Figgy Pudding. I have a plastic wallet where all my basic Grey bits go, they range from half an inch up to half a 6x6 sheet...so none of te bits are very big. But all the flowers in this one came out of that bit wallet.

I borrowed an oval punch for the petals on the first one, but then once home I hand cut the petals for the other two, the 'buttons' are just a 1 inch punch with holes made using the cropodile.

All the holly leaves are cut on the cricut, using the 'stretch your imagination' cartridge. I used 5 A4 sheets of green card and 2 half sheets of 12 x12 BG.

Very tempted to keep all 3, but I think 2 will be given away.

This month at our art group we made this mini book,well when I say 'made' I 'started' mine and then gave up in favour of tea and biscuits. That was on Monday, I have just finished it. The idea and design was put together by Ms.Efemera.

The chipboard and acetate pages were cut out on the Big Shot. I covered mine with BG Scarlet's Letter. It was a 12x12 paper pack that I was using, you know the ones, they have a sheet of tags that never get used...so I added some tags inbetween the chipboard pages. This gave me a little more space for photos and also used up some of the flippin tags lol

I also used 7gypsies rub ons and stickers, and some flowers from Jean.

A book ring and some America crafts ribbon completes the ingredients. I filled it with photos taken at a Guillemots gig last year. The Banksy style images were painted on the walls of the club we were in for the gig.
