So much crafting yet such little time!!

Hi all

Its felt like ages since i last blogged....life has taken over & preparing for Christmas & birthdays has taken my time.

Lots has happened since my last blog...my daughter had her dance concert & she did extremely well & won the Trophy on the night in her level...i was so proud of her i couldn't even speak...i had no idea it was coming!! my sister & mum cheered for her as i was speechless in the crowd
The following day my son received 3 letters from a high school he tried out scholarships for & received all 3 he went for!! Totally proud of him too
My youngest just had his end of year concert for kindy & we are so proud of him also...he did really well singing & moving to the song as he should.

OK back to what i have been doing craft wise for Xmas & birthdays
For Christmas i made the teachers a gift basket each...inside i placed some partylite candles in a Xmas tree box i made using my cricut..for the teacher aides i made a snowflake box using my cricut & decorated with some sawyers place washi tape....i also etched some mirrored candle plates & votive candle holders using my cricut & etching cream.

I also made some sweet treats for the kids to take to school for their class mates
& some baubles for the teachers gift baskets

My daughters friend/cousin just had her birthday party so i made these for her...she had a sleepover make up party so i made some favor boxes for her mum to fill & then made her birthday card & also a Justin beiber frame as she loves justin..i used my cricut gelly pens to make it

ok well i think that will do for now....im sure all these pictures are plenty!!
hope to get back & blog before xmas day

Rudolph Spares anyone??

Hi
Its time to start making the kids classmates a little gift...this year im making Rudolph spare noses. I bought some skinny cello bags from Ann over at Discover Ink
& then cut out some reindeer heads at 3 inches from doodlecharms cartridge on my cricut & layered them all together.
I'm going to enter this over at Bah!Hunbug! challenge 45 bags & boxes

i added a magnet to the back of the reindeer heads so it can be used to decorate the fridge this festive season
I filled the bags up with Jaffas...which are orange flavored chocolate balls in a red candy shell...yummy!!


I hope the kids love them!!

sunshiny days.....in winter

Hi
I just completed a summer page for the Fantabulous Cricut blog SUN challenge

I cut the sun out of chipboard on my pink cricut using the doodle charms cartridge. I then embossed it in my pink cuttlebug with sun rays embossing folder & then inked, sprayed glimmermisted it all up.
The pics were taken at a water park that we go to quite often in summer. They just got new water attractions & we went the second week it opened, my kids loved it :)

I kindy glitzed the summer lovin' letters from we R memory keepers...and also added some Fun in the sun ribbon. I also mounted the sun on foam squares to lift it up a little.

Thanks for looking at my summer layout....even though its winter & its raining out there today!
