Good Afternoon!

I have 2 posts for you today, this wasn't planned but seeing the weather is grey and rainy I thought I would have a craft day!

I went craft shopping yesterday to Hobbycraft (You may notice I mentioned this in my post below) and I decided to have a go at making my own Christmas Wreaths this year.

I have decided to make a Red & Gold Wreath and a Sliver, Blue & White Wreath.

Well I have just finished the Red & Gold and wanted to share it all with you!

This was my first attempt at making a Christmas Wreath, I hope you all like it as this is out of my comfort zone!

Incase you are interested here is what the Wreath looked like before decorating.

Everybody Art - Photo Inspiration!

Good Morning!

This week at EVERYBODY ART we have the theme of Photo Inspiration.

We would like you to use the colours from this picture:

I have to admit I have struggled with this card.
Firstly I was late making this having completely forgotten all about it (In my defence I did spend the day I was meant to be making it Craft shopping!) so you can understand how it could slip my mind ;P Secondly it just didn't seem to come out as I had imagined it in my head, I don't know what it is but it feels like something is missing ... hmmm! What do you think?

This also fits the Challenge at:

A SPOONFULL OF SUGAR - LET'S GET PUNCHY!

I have taken a closeup of the Snowflakes this time on an angle which hopefully will let you be able to see them properly. I added Snow Writer, Twinklets & Adhesive Stones to the white snowflakes and just Twinklets to the red.

I decided to keep the silver ones plain as I felt they were decorative enough seeing they were punched from a shiny cardstock.

RECIPE:

Magnolia Tilda Stamp

Circular Sentiment from Happy Daze

CAuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' & 'Snowflakes' Embossing Folders

Snowflake Punches by Hobbycraft & X-Cut

Silver Dew Drops

Decoart Snow Writer

Adhesive Stones

Twinklets

Ribbon from Stash
