Merry Christmas with Colour - Me's !

Lordie Lordie where has this year gone?  Christmas is just around the corner!

I  seem to be behind this year with lots & lots going on....... my family from WA has started to arrive for CHRISTMAS in Darwin !!  

I sit here very early on a Saturday morning when everyone else is still  purring away, catching up on my blog to share with you all some of Christmas goodies I made of late! 

Merry Christmas LO featuring  PION Design - Waiting for Santa II papers, 

Manorhouse Creations Flowers - & Oak Leaves, Glimmermist - Burnt Red, OTC Chippy, German Scrap , Helmar's Acid Free - Neutral pH glue, Scrap Dots & 450 Quick Dry and a few other bits & bobs..........................

 I changed the colour of the MHC Flowers - Tropics by the Pool with Burnt Red Glimmermist. I love the way they turned out - totally matching the papers and giving it that POP yet still holding on to that vintage feel - oh how I love VINTAGE - did you know that ??

 I embossed the chippy with the cuttlebug to add some extra texture and used Frayed Burlap Distress Ink to highlight the OTC Chippy Flourish and Lettering and secured them with Helmar's Acid Free - Neutral pH glue

a few bits and bobs I used to bring it to life was German Scrap Filigree Flowers, MHC Oak Leaves, Pearls & Muslin, nothing better than Helmar's Acid Free - Neutral pH glue, Scrap Dots & 450 Quick Dry to make your creation stay together for years to come!!

How cute are these little birdies......... mmmmmmmmmmm..... nice! Embossed OTC Chippy Branch with a tiny bead cap filled with muslin and pearl beads...............

Better run lots still to do, until next take care out there

  I wanted to share with you one of latest Grunge layered LO's - the second in my series. You cant do one brother without the other now can you? (and I have 3 more nephews and my own 2 sons to go lol) so all i got to do now is pop them in a frame and give to the boys for Chrissie.

JB always has a grin on his face - so 'GRINNERS ARE WINNERS' was a given as a title!

 The goodies I used were Helmar Acid Free- Neutral pH glue ,Helmar 450 Quick Dry & Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots , 7 Dots Studio - Dreamer Collection Papers designed by Anna Dabrowska aka Finnabair, Out There Chippy Bricks & Bricks, Clocks & Cogs, Out There Trinkets, Glimmermist other hardware and bits and bobs.

Little Presents with FabScrap

 

With Christmas only 23 sleeps away, the thought of pressies is on every one's mind. There is nothing better than giving someone that special bit of you - Right?

  FabScraps Embellishments added that special touch !!

 These are some of the things i used to make my spools, Helmar Acid Free- Neutral pH glue, Helmar 450 Quick Dry, FabScraps Embellishments, cardboard cylinders, Cardboard cogs, German Scrap trims, flowers & embellishments, Hat pins & Muslin.

 Here's how i made them - Glue the paper to the cylinders with Helmar Acid Free- Neutral pH glue, paint and attach cogs top and bottom & German Scrap Flower with Helmar Acid Free- Neutral pH glue. I slightly bent the FabScraps Leaves and glued them into place with Helmar 450 Quick Dry for a secure fast grip.

 fray some muslin and attached with Helmar 450 Quick Dry to the back of flower and then onto leaves.

 Hat pins add another little touch and so easy to make!

  add some lace and another hat pin and you have a perfect little pressie!

Till next time happy creating & Take Care
