Crafting for Christmas 2009, let's begin again.......

Hi Moneysaver - you only need 2 sheets of 12x12 paper and some scraps for the tags. If you have no tags simply draw around an eggcup or something of similar size and this will give you a nice little tag for the parcels. You can buy the punches at lots of shops in the UK, its just a case of looking around (trying to find the ones with cheap or no postage costs etc) UKScrappers is a good place to go to find out whats out there and what prices

This is what i made today and it drove me to distracton - it was all the measuring etc that was the worst bit, once that was done decorating it was quite quick I will pop more photos on my blog tomorrow but i need proper light for more pics etc....

Thanks Sethsgran. i think i have managed to use that link to convert for now but i will get some measuring cups when i get chance. does anyone know where i can get them from?

hey, whilst you can get measuring cups from places like ikea and other supermarkets the american cup is a different size to our cups. You could get a lovely but expensive measure from lakeland or how about this Would be good laminated and stuck on the fridge, good addition to a baking hamper too eh?

sethsgran

You can actually get the American cups here, also as long as the ratio of ingredients is correct then the recipe will work
