Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree......

Just wanted to show you the little Tree I made out of Cardboard and sheet music.

I just printed a tree shape onto the sheet music and glued it to the cardboard then

cut around it .I then made slits down the middle and put them together and 

decorated with glitter and gold snowflakes.I may

have a go at a tutorial for this when I make another

if I get the time.

some cutting machines but I cut it by hand which was really easy.

I just printed it out on white card and inked with purple ink and then

I inked some bubble wrap and stamped it on.

The patterned paper is a freebie from

freedigitalscrapbooking.com By Marie Stones

I placed a few googly eyes on from my stash lol

I used some checked orange ribbon from my stash and some paper flower put

together with a orange brad.

The image for the topper is by Molly Harrison from a sheet

I can't remember where I bought.

Thanks for looking.

DT Call Challenge... Texture

Hi There,I made this for the Creative Expressions DT Call Challenge .Wish me Luck.

I used a 6x6 Kraft card Blank and scored one side from corner

to corner and folded to make a twisted easel card I then cut

another card blank in half  and matted with Green spotted paper.I did

the same on the bottom of the easel card.Then I took some coredinations card  chipped saphire

and used the Sizzix Beaded Ribbon Embossing Folder on it and then sanded it then s matted it

the half of Kraft Card Blank.

My Topper is the Tilly stamp from Personal Impressions stamped on to whited card

and the heat embossed with purple metallic embossing powder and copper

embossing powder I then cut out with Spellbiners scalloped oval.I used Tim Holtz

Distress Ink Vintage photo round the edges and stuck 3 pearls on it.I then

stuck this to some green pattered paper and curled the edges,I matted this onto

the Textured Coredinations on the half of Kraft Card Blank and

then stuck that to the Easel card.I used a sentiment for my Stopper and ribbon,gems and

flowers to embelish.I also cot a strip of green Coredinations and

used a EK Succes edger punch and added that at the side

of my Topper and thats it,Done.

Halloween Costume.Easy Make

I thought I would show you the Halloween Costume I made last year.I had one photo taken in it then had to take it off as we had a crisis (can't remember what it was now lol).It was really easy to make from an old white/cream dress I had in the wardrobe.I bought some bandages from the pound shop and draped them allover the front and back and just tacked them in place and then cut strips to dangle off the ends of the sleeves.I cut different lengths and sewed them together at the ends for around my neck and then wound a few round my head like a headband.Just use some makeup to whiten your face and your done.I think any white,cream or even grey dress would do.Here's a photo of me wearing my make lol
