Sam
hmm, it's a toss up between the naughty cat under the tree and the Twelve Days of Christmas!!

Kimbo
I can't believe there are so many to choose from. The nostalgia ones are great but then I was torn between the Owls and Fashion Victim. SO I'm going for one of the ones you've shown - Hand Wash Only - so appropriate. Thanks for letting us know about these wonderful products. Kim x


Anne Marie
Wow these tea towels are fab and I got ideas for Stocking filler gifts on just about every page!! My favourite has to be the one witht he Border collie on it. It just looks so like my SIL's collie. would make a great gift for her if I was to win it. Not fliipin likely though - lol!! Love the wrapping idea too Jak!!

Trish
Hi Jak,Your log is a smashing idea- it looks so good. I had a lovely time going through the tea towels and to my surprise I found out it's only approx 15 miles from where I live- small world and all that!! Hard to choose a favourite, probably the form-ewe-la-one which I would give to my daughter-in-law as she's besotted with it, or the gorgeous Rennie MacIntosh design for myself!Hugs,Trish

Louise
What a fab idea for a christmas pressie, had a look and there are many favourites!! If I had to choose one though it would be the penguins on ice drinking tea, how cute!Thanks for showing us them, Louise x

Christmas Robins

I can't claim fame for this fun card, it was a make and take from Joanne at Mainly Flowers, all of the components and instructions were added into a Stampin Up order from her to make up.


You can see from this photo that the Robin was made with a circle punch the redbreast is another punched circle punched again to remove part of the circle, the wing and beak is the petal of a pointed flower and a google eye to finish. Legs are hand drawn.

Trendy Trees - Stampin Up

A card made with the Trendy trees Stamp set by Stampin Up.
I was actually sitting in my craft room testing out a new light fitting whilst making this card.

Did you know that you can get a Daylight Strip Fitting light? I didn't until around a week ago.
It looks like a slimline fluorescent tube and it isn't at all expensive, A 4 foot slimline tube for around £6 I took this picture of the card under the same light, very impressed with it.


Attention to Detail...

I punched the border from the same Kraft card that I used for the base then used the reverse side of the paper and cut a strip and glued this across the top of the border, I then tied a green ribbon around it before stamping the sentiment then stuck this near the bottom of the card.





I left a bit of interest by leaving one of the trees bare, the leaves and the trunks of the trees are separate in this set.


I used a Koi water brush to drag some of the colour from the base of the trunks to add shadow then topped with a bit of glitter to add a bit of bling.


Ingrediants.
