I can't believe how December has just gone in a blur and here we are with Christmas only a couple of days away.
I did manage to make another card since my last posting - WOW, haha. It was one I did for Fiskarettes with a sketch......
the 'Let it snow' sentiment was heat embossed and then I went round with a fineline black pen to highlight the words. The snowman is from Hobbycraft! and the snowflake it white felt die-cut. The flower sitting behind the snowmans head and the paper is from a festive collection by Heidi Grace - Frost.
This is the sketch on which this card is based.
Early December also saw the putting up of the decorations! Abi is on countdown for a couple of weeks before hand as she likes them up as close to 1st Dec as possible. Bless.
Thought you might like to see some photos of the Christmas decs.........
Here is the tree - its a real one and about 5ft tall. We normally have a mahoosive one as we have high ceilings but they seemed sooooo expensive this year! So we had this gorgeous fairtale style table in the shape of two big books and thought the table would look lovely on there - and so it does......
This is what the tree looked like at the beginning of December. The base is now surrounded with piles of presents!
Here is a gorgeous 12 days of Christmas wreath that we have up every year.....
and my very special tin Christmas Angel.......
I am all ready for Christmas now - more or less anyway. Going to Sainsburys early in the morning tomorrow for those last minute bits and pieces. They are open at 6am and I am hoping to get there as near to that time as I can! We will see. Then its off into town to the cinema and lunch. I love Christmas Eve.
I have just opened a tin of Quality Street and emptied them into a wooden bowl to have on the coffee table in the lounge. I did take out all the strawberry and orange ones though and have them in a bag beside me. Bit naughty really but they are my favourites and I want them to be all mine! haha. What the kids don't know about ain't gonna hurt them, right?!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and I will try to be more regular with my posting after Christmas. I made some gorgeous Journals and Jars for my parents and the in-laws and will sort out photos of those to post next time.......take care........x
