Something Old, New, Borrowed and BLUE!

With the renovations and the cleaning out of stuff accumulated over the 26 years we have lived here, my wedding dress was "re-discovered". Sarah is the only one who can fit into it now and was eager to try it on. It is still in perfect condition but I didn't want her to smile because she had just finished a "pushpop" lolly and her mouth was all blue!

Christmas Cards 2010

A bit late with the blogging but at least I posted all my Christmas cards out on time this year! I made three different ones. I forgot to take a pic of the first lot and had to change design only when I ran out of supplies. The red and white ones were for my Crafty Mum friends, to surprise them as they had helped with the first lot (the silver "Merry Christmas" is a bosskutt die which took a lot of time to cut/remove from negative). They did a great job...

Crafty Mums

We had our Christmas luncheon on Friday and this is the Kris Kringle I made (and wanted to keep). Helen was the recipient. It is a painted and stamped canvas. The beautiful bird is from Provincial Living.

Arty Oz Christmas

I posted this Kris Kringle off yesterday, a bit early but I didn't want to lose/wreck it with the renovations going on here...

It is a 3D Scrapware house, you can't really see the detail - German scrap on the roof, cherub charm on top, beaded Scrapware tree. The background paper is an old K & C traditional Christmas paper.

ATC's

The first Thursday of the month is when the Hannmade ATC Group meets and the December challenge was a Christmas triptych. I love traditional Christmas Colours.

The last November birthday was Ruby's...I was thinking of writing Happy Bird day but I didn't think she'd understand.

Marilyn's card was also made with Kaisercraft paper but it is a different paper, copper foiled and not double sided like the rest of the Kaiser range.
