We are having a two week challenge over Christmas so thought we could check out all of your fancy packaging ..not necessarily for Christmas.

Heres some boxes I did up for my Christmas Team Training day recently..we stamped, we ate and we laughed..we had so much fun! I love being with the beautiful bunch of women in my team and I love them to bits.

Okay mushiness over…heres the boxes using that fancy favor Big XL die and some retired ski slope paper that I had in my stash (loved that paper so was very excited to find some !) The flower is using the Fun flowers die and the new glimmer paper.
So hope you come and play with us over the next two weeks. Check out the wonderful creations the other Design Team Members have come up with here

Id like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Ill be back  for New Years with a scrapbooking LO.

Phew ..

I finally managed to do some Christmas cards for my own nearest and dearest..and posted them off today..hope they get there in time!

Heres what I managed to come up with using the new Cherry Cobbler embossing powder. Unfortunately I bumped my Powder pal tray and the embossing powder went all over the floor!  Yikes..

So 11 cards was it lol

Just Add Sparkle

JAI 98 Challenge this week is Just Add Sparkle..well Im in full Christmas Card making mode to send off to my nearest and dearest  at the moment and I came up with this..

The bunting is made from the new glimmer paper and the new one inch square punch. The background is also silver glimmer paper..so this card is really sparkly and blingy IRL.

The cherry cobbler bakers twine ties it all together and is my new fave thing! Love the stuff!

Check out the gorgeously sparkly creations the other Design Team members have come up with here and I hope you all have time in the craziness of the festive build up to play along this week.

Heres what I came up with. I decided not to use all of the colours in this photo and just used Melon Mambo and Lucky Limeade and the bling !

This box is a Lauren Meader template.

Go check out what the other Design Team have come up with here

Just Add Tania

This week at Just Add Ink we are Case..ing Tania Gould. Tania is a very talented and wonderful team member of Just Add Ink! You can check out her blog here

I had trouble trying to decide which card to CASE but settled on this one..hers was Just add Monochrome but Ive added in a bit of colour.

So heres my CASE

Tania likes to emboss on her cards so the background is embossed. On her card was a crotchet doily (another trademark Tania) ..but Ive put it on the inside. She also roughs up her edges with a distressing tool.

So hope you all play along with us this week. Check out what the other girls have come up to CASE Tania ..here.

This card is for our Sons form teacher. Hes just finished High School and his form teacher goes through from day one in year 9 to year 13 and next year will have a year 9 form room again. Shes been like a second Mother to him so Im busy making her some gifts to give her in thanks.

Of course if he doesnt pass his exams he will be back to school next year! lol. Exams went well though so fingers crossed I can send him off to Uni next year!
