Christmas Crop

We had such a lovely time at the Christmas Crop last Saturday. 12 keen scrappers and 3 consultants gathered at the SBS centre from 1-6 and some amazing pages were made. I did a demo of the new Creative Cuts system for making lettering and other shapes, and this was the page that my lettering was popped onto to show it all finished off.

I just love the build up to Christmas. I have already mentioned how disorganised I am... but finally yesterday we went and picked out our tree. Hurrah! It finally feels as though the Christmas season is off and running!

Just Add... Birthdays!

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is "birthdays", but the idea is to think a bit outside of the norm and come up with something a bit different (from a card, I guess).

You just have to see Bronwyn Eastley's awesome cupcake box!

Here's my little attempt. It was Emma's birthday not so long ago, her big FIRST, and I decorated my Everyday Display with photos of her. I used the gorgeous new Creative Cuts tool to make the letters out of Simply Beautiful papers. The background papers are also Simply Beautiful, from the birthdays pack, as are the paper ribbon and paper flowers.
