Charisma wk#49......Last Minute Makes....

It's getting close to Christmas now so at Charisma we would like to see your 

LAST MINUTE XMAS MAKES

It can be anything you like. As you can see I've made a table centre decoration. It's very simple to make.

Here's what to do. Make a cone shape from either acetate or card, I used silver Mirri card. Trim the bottom so that it sits even on the table. Take some narrow tinsel and wrap it round the tree starting at the top, gluing in place as you go. Add some Christmas Baubles and top off with a Star to finish. You can stand it in a nice plate or glass coaster and put a snow scene around it or just have it on it's own. Looking forward to seeing all your creations, I hope you have fun with our challenge this week. Our Charisma Gals have wonderful creations to share with you so why not pop over to the Challenge blog and leave them some Christmas cheer!!

Must dash now as I've still got decorating to finish...............

Baking Bedlam.........

 

Hi everyone, I've been really busy all week decorating and as I've not posted any cards on here since last Thursday (tut! tut!) I thought I'd share this one with you.

It was made for a girl who loves to cook. The image is called Baking Bedlam from Phindy's Place and I coloured it with Copics. The circle sentiment and Friendship recipe are from LOTV. The DP is First Edition Up Up & Away.

Only 10 days till Christmas .............Yikes!!!!

Happy crafting

Hi !! From Snowy Scotland........

Well it's here again...........I woke up to 3 inches on snow this morning and there is more on the way according to the weather man on BBC. I love the stuff but it does get annoying when the transport is affected. Hubby managed to get out of the street this morning, slipping and sliding all the way up the hill, thank goodness I don't work Mondays !!!

I'm staying in all day..... still got decorating to finish and cards to make.

Here is one I made for an order last week. I love this LOTV image it's definitely my favourite this year. I coloured it with Copics and used Snow It glue and fine glitter for the snow. The papers are Me To You, Winter Wonderland. Roses and metal corner from Wild Orchid Crafts, Marianne Creatables Heart and Poinsettia dies. Martha Stewart Holly Punch and the rest is form my stash.

The snow has made me feel quite Christmasy so I think I'll dig out the decorations and the tree, although I can't put any on it yet as I promised my Grandson's that they could do it, but I'll set it up and put the lights on. 

Have a lovely day whatever you're doing....

Keep warm!!
