It's that time of year...

..when I am least creative and with the hot weather of late, I am even less so!

I have joined a group of ATC enthusiasts and hope to be more challenged and creative next year.

To all my followers and those who just pop in, Season's Greetings to you and I hope you will continue to look at my blog.

Thanks for your interest and comments in 2009 :)

Folded Christmas wreath

One of the craft ladies brought these instructions for us to try this morning.

I used double sided paper and will probably stick something glittery on the green squares, as it's a bid dull!

Wrapping paper works well too, but we were told to glue the pieces in as they tend to slide out.

I thought one would look nice on a card, or put an eyelet in the top and hang with a cord.

Quick and easy and doesn't take a lot of paper!

Do give it a try!

Pure fun!

I've had this sitting in my "To Do" box for months and was at a loose end yesterday, soooo...

It was covered in gesso, dabbed with lavender ink, a swirl stamped with the same in ink, then decorated with beads, silver stickers and tied with silver ribbon.

The purple paper flower I bought here http://www.dinkydoodads.com.au/shop/ and comes in packs of 2 colours and sizes.

Another batch of inchies

My fingers are sore from holding the tweezers and my eyes bleary after this latest lot!

I think these will last for a loooong time ..lol

My collection of Inchies

Here are a few of the Inchies I've made over the past year.

Great fun and even better therapy for whatever ails you!

Kaeren's Inchies

As you know, I love Inchies and Kaeren and I have been exchanging them since we joined a swap some time back.

She has graciously allowed me to share them here.

They are such tiny works of art and secretly, I enjoy not having to use stamps sometimes!

It's a wonderful way to use up scraps of anything and be creative as well.

Enjoy...

Another two Christmas tree cards

Here are another couple of quick folded trees.

I've glued the tips down and used mounting foam for the stars.

Quick and easy!

Unfortunately, the Cuttlebug spotted background doesn't like double sided tape and won't sit flat properly.
