WOYWW.....133...Wishing You All a Very Happy Christmas

Well can't believe it is Wednesday already let alone the last one before Christmas .Where has the time gone?So time to get on the sleigh and travel around the world to see what all these lovely crafters have been upto since last week.So first hop on the sleigh and off you fly to Julia's Blog the Boss of this wonderful Trip

This is my desk this week exactly the same as last week hu!I have cleaned away after i finished my first ever ...wait for it Configuration box yes i actually did one last weekend .You can see it Here .Love to know what you think?

I have now all my prezzies wrapped, still gotta get couple on friday.But all done packed away ready to go to dad's on thursday!Aint i a good girl...lol.No crafting for next couple days prob till after christmas is over. But today is baking day .I have this beautiful receipe for scrummy Snickerdoodles ...cookies,and then some melting moments ,and my daughter will be baking as she promised her grandad a choco cake!So today the kitchen will be busy hopefully but one thing not good my oven making funny noise .Which aint good...lol so fingers crossed nothing serious gonna happen in that dept.Thats all i need before crimbo.I do have a friend with me today well every time i craft he's by my side under the table and today is no exception...."Bobbie"He lays on floor at my feet!My faith ful friend!

Oh one last thing i have some birthday ~Candy ~ on the go .As it's my birthday soon on 6th Jan when i will be another year younger.....ah well one can dream can't one...lol.
Tim Holtz fans you will love this or should i say one of them as i have 2 candy's/2 prizes to givea way.You can check it out HERE . Please your all welcome to join in never know could be YOU....that wins ,don't know till you enter..lol
Follow the instructions you wont be disappointed and all new goodies.
Plus after christmas just think you may be in for a belated christmas present.....As after all the hype it does seem to be quiet afterwards.Although seemed quiet yesterday we Went to tesco just to pick some bits up to take with us and for when we get back.I couldnt believe how quiet the shop was ,i tell you there was more food reduced due to not selling by due date than customers in shop.Well wasn't surprised think theyd all gone to Aldi! Mind i do love to shop there .The only thing i hate is you get to tills long que and only if your lucky i mean lucky ..lol 2 tills open!I do honestly think alot of people are cutting back this year and watching the pennies.....
Well i want to wish you all a very Happy Christmas may you have awonderful time .
Just think this time next week all over yep!and nearly into 2012 scary how the years seem to be flying bye
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

Thursday Tim'S Tags 6 &7

Well im hoping this is uploading as it was planned to uploade wednesday @12.01am.So second time lucky and thought i nay as wekk add wednesday tag 7 also .Have to say this technique and tag is mt fav.So all inspiration taken from Tims tag found HERE

This is my creation from the inspiration of his tag everything is the same except:

holly ,i used my gassilin papers for the greenery die cut ,i aded oddments of grunge board and made twigs as i havent got that die.I have alos added reindeer charm to center of the hollyarrangemnet.The sentiment is stampin up this years christmas release.

Here done smae technique to Tim but also used on edges of grenery and twigs.

I think this has to be my favup to know dajarvo maybe do i say this everytime a createatag...this i adore.Hope you do to.

Tag 7

this tag i used all the same techniques as Tim but hadnt got that embossing folder everyone but that.So i used my large crimbo tree and used the dabbers in blue pink,&white.
Every thing else was same can be found HERE

Close up of the beautiful bunch blue holly leaves with glitter edges pearls that have been died as in tag 7 that tim showed us how to die berries.The silver one from stash,Still unsure wether i like it or not .Wonder what you think

Tims 12 Tags For Christmas Tag 3 and 4

Tag 4

Well tim never fails to impress and inspire.I have used all the techniques shoen here.

Except i used the die cuts from the grungeboard seasonal set.Along with the number's 25 and just added old script paper and glossy accents on top.Frosty's hat was same technique but with gathered twigs Distress inks.Hope you like my take on tag 4 from Tim's inspiration!

Close up of Frosty
TAG 3

Thia ia my tag inspired by Tim's Tag 3 Here

I have used the craft tag,but havent used embossing file or Tim's stamps.I have used various stamps from Chriatmas sets of Stampin Up!The colours ive used are :Festive Berries,

Pine Needles,Gathered Twigs,and Archival inks Black and Plum.The holly ive fixed to gether with floristry wire ad have added glamour dust to the edges to look like snow.

It just shows you dont have to always have Tim's items he uses.Just take the inspiration from his tag Create inspire and go with the flow.

Close up Tag

Hope you have afab monday very cold and frosty here yest again and we may get a flurry of the white stuff if where lucky..lol

Love n hugs
