Sparkling Snowflakes

I'm back today with a Christmas makeover using yesterday's layout. The doilies and the Halloween characters have been replaced with frosty, sparkling snowflakes. Unfortunately the pic really doesn't do justice to the beautiful glimmer paper and if we ever get sunshine...

Cute Halloween Card

Cute Halloween Card

This will be one of the last of my Halloween projects this year (I'll probably try to squeeze a final one in at the weekend). My focus is definitely shifting to our Annual Stampin' Up! Convention in Germany next week  so many swaps to make and so little time! The card...

Poppies in sympathy

Poppies in sympathy

Today's card is a sympathy card. I actually made two versions - only slightly different, but I needed to post one quickly and didn't get chance to photograph it first. When making cards for such a sad occasion I prefer to make them in pairs and keep one in my card box...

Rosette repairs

Rosette repairs

Snowflake tree decoration

Snowflake tree decoration

Yesterday I shared a spider's web door hanger and today I'm back to give it a Christmas makeover and turn it into a snowflake decoration for hanging on the tree. The rosette was made on the Scoring Tool (122334) with Be of Good Cheer DSP (126896). After die-cutting...

Spider’s web hanger

Spider’s web hanger

This little hanger is to go on the door at Halloween to give a hint that we welcome trick or treaters. We just love to see the costumes that they come up with! One of my new toys tools is this Delicate Doilies sizzlit (126999). I use the medallions from the Perfect...
