Merry Christmas everyone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I would strongly recommend you put your feet up and have a cuppa before you go any further!

This is a very heavily pictured post.....

First up is a wooden bauble we decorated at class,

which I'm entering into the challenge

Moving Along With The Times

which is for anything but a card

I do lots of things other than cards, but don't often blog about them,

but today IS special after all! 

the bauble had a pre-cut star, we added die cuts, embossing paste, glitter and sequins

We also made a votive decoration using similar die cuts

This was the last class I held for the year.

This is the before pic.....

lots of goodies in their bags.....

projects on show with a string of battery star lights

"Inspiration Table"

I laid out lots of ideas for table decorations etc.

those are real twigs, below right, sprayed gold to hold a name card

napkins with simple ring made from card, decorated with initials,

and a pine sprig and silver bauble 

(SU embellishments that I may have to get some more of for next year!)

love this idea.....but also love crackers....

some ideas are from Hobbycrafts blog

Gift- box- on- a- card 

makes a fab place setting.....

decorated lantern in the centre

Diorama cards cased from Amanda Bates,

including her faux diorama.....simpler and flatter...

you could add a tea light behind the houses

Amanda also did a bridge version which is also fab,

love the Hearts Come Home bundle.

We had a fabulous time, lots of laughs, nibbles, idea sharing,

card swapping, and bookings for next year!

Do come and join us if you can,

you would be made most welcome.

I hope Santa visited your home,

keep warm, keep safe, and keep well.

Lesley
