I started my crafting last night, this pregnancy is really taking it out of me so I can only manage a couple of things a night. These are nowhere near as good as you guys have managed but im pretty pleased as they are all first attempts. So far I have......













Im doing up a little hamper for my kids teachers and classroom assistants. Going to add one of each of the above, a snowman soup and a couple of gingerbread men that the kids and I will bake together nearer to the time, all wrapped in a cellophane wrap with a bow and some ribbon.

Hya folks, lovely Christmas makes...love the Reindeer pouches!

My SU punches have at last arrived and I have been having fun with them today!!

Here's a piccie of some of those decs I managed to get made up this afternoon.



I haven't tied up the bags yet as I can't find my red ribbon at the moment....think it is still in the loft!! I found a small bag of Kreinik mixed threads, so I have managed to make the hanging loops.

The middle pack show the "backs", where you can see the orange foil showing through the cut snowflake. It is an Xcut embossing punch I got from The Range on Monday. I thought it would have cut out a complete snowflake shape, but I like using it like this.

Been punching out more circles, and scalloped circles for the next batch...have some of Anitas 3D Laser stickers to add, so will make a batch for the kids. Will try and see if I can find the Milk Chocolate ES ones on Saturday..is the offer still on at the Co-op?

Right off to punch out more card shapes...think my snowflake punch needs some WD40, it's sticking already...though it could have been the 300gsm card I was using

Have fun crafting everyone, see you tomorrow!!!

You may recall my clear baubles from Poundland that started life like this:



Well, here they are now:



The baubles were obviously £1 for 4, the stickers are Glitterations £1.29 (from local craft shop) and the snow was from a bag for 99p in B&M.
