Buterscotch love the countdown calendars, did you use stamps to do them

I printed the numbers on the computer and cut the letters with the Cricut. I used Serene Snowflakes and the bauble from Contempo Christmas.

Check out this link I just found, nice idea for the children to do. You can never start them crafting too soon http://moviesofmyself.typepad.com/home/2009/12/paper-christmas-wreaths.html

Hello all,

I'm new and have been reading lots but unfortunately not posting anything so I thought I'd better say 'Hello'.

You've all inspired me to make some craft items for my school's Christmas Fair. I've already made lots of jam and chutney but I've just made 7 bags of reindeer poop (hubby thinks they're hilarious), following the step by step instructions.

I've managed to do the bags with just a few punches but I'm going to the NEC in a couple of weeks time so might need some more bits and bobs .

I've also contacted my local Stampin up rep as she's quite close by to me and have signed up for one of her classes on Saturday so I'm looking forward to that.

Its a good job I'm not at work next week (I work in school so its the holiday :T) so an ideal opportunity to make a bit of stock.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and WELL DONE to everyone for their brilliant creations, I only hope mine look as good as yours!

The ones that fit best are stampin up ones and you get those from a demonstrater i got mine from lisa (craftfairies ) They are quite pricey so you need to have lots of uses for them or docrafts do some punches and woodware available from the range and hobbycraft and many places online including e bay , glitterpot , craft superstore etc.

hi everyone, i've been lurking since some naughty person posted a link to here from the Sewing Room! I'm de-lurking to say i just got the Woodware 2" scalloped circle from Coleman's Stationers for about £6.50 and am very happy with it. i nearly bought totally the wrong size coz the size of the pic on the cutter/package isnt always the size it will cut!:o i'm glad i took a tape measure with me!

Morning All,

I have been soooo inspired to do a "homemade" Christmas for ALL the friends and family (besides the rather posh rich people we know, who would probably look down their noses at such an idea, I'll just find something cheap, that looks expensive for them )

HOWEVER ... My list of ideas that I wrote down on a piece of paper, and I had kept on top of the laptop has VANISHED:eek::eek::eek:!!!

My suspects being a) the nice new kitten, as she loves anything and everything except her nice new toys to play with ... and b) the darling better half, who has moved the lounge around and "tidied" up, which I suspect means that everything has been placed into the sideboards drawers out of view :mad:

Am off to investigate, else I will have to go through the whole thread AGAIN (for the fourth time) and write my ideas down again ... Such a hardship ... :rotfl:

I used Gold paper cups for these and I put gold glitter on the top on the rim as that was white. They are 99p for a pack of 10 at the warehouse shop if you need some pm me as I am going there either tomorrow or thursday so can see if they have any more and pick you some up.

Oh my ....... everytime I come on this thread we have grown even more.

I will be adding a Peg Fridge Magnet tutorial in a bit for the lady who asked xxxx

But I thought I would show you some Christmas cards I have just made using a packet of 18 3D gift tags that I only paid £1.99 for - and we know how expensive toppers like this cost in the craft shops!









All I've added are a few googly eyes, some punched snowflakes, odd stickers and the gingham background paper

Brill as usual Helen!!!
I would appreciate the peg tutorial - Ive bought the supplies but a bit of advice would be fab!!!!!
