Merry Christmas!

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I know this time of year is not easy for all, but I hope as many of you as possible get to spend special time with family and friends - making new memories and reliving old memories!

These are just a few of the Christmas cards I have created this year! I was inspired by many people when creating these cards! Thank you if you are one who has been my inspiration in the past year!

This time last year we were enjoying the trip of a life time to Western Canada! It was less than Zero degrees Celsius most of the time we were there - a little different to the 39 Celsius it is here right now!

Don't forget to take some photos of your Christmas celebrations and get them into your scrapbook pages. I have some pages ready to add my photos to! These pages are from my Silver & Gold Christmas Memories workshop that you can find the cutting instructions to here!

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year! This year, it will be fairly quiet for us, but I get to spend the day with my gorgeous little family - including the dog and cats, and catch up with some of the extended family.

Once again, I wish you a very Happy Christmas. I pray that it is filled with peace and joy as you spend time with those you love and that 2018 brings all that you hope for!

I look forward to catching up with many of you in the New Year and I hope to inspire those I don't get to see with my creations.

The Basics Fundamentals are one of my favourite collections! And they go with so much. I created this layout to add photos of my daughter's first car! Unfortunately, I haven't had time to print the photos because a busy couple of weeks and being sick. 

The day before we picked up the car, I made a banner and took it to the dealer to put on the car as a surprise for Ali. I used the same banner on my layout - only I decreased it's size to fit the page.

To create my page, I used:

MIFHY Vol 3 Pattern #2,
White Daisy Cardstock,

Sapphire Cardstock,

Basics Fundamentals Paper Pack,

Basics Ribbon Pack,

D1733 - Splash of Colour Stamp Set,

White & Gold Twine

S1712 A Little Bit of Pun Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop

Hi & welcome to our S1712 - A Little Bit of Pun Stamp of the Month Australasian blog hop. If you arrived from Maz's blog, you are in the right place! If you landed here by chance, no problem! Please join in by following the link at the end of this post. 

Over the past few weeks, I was busy preparing for a Christmas Market in my local community. So I used this cute stamp set to create some book marks for the market! They make great little gifts for classmates or friends!

I used some of the ShinHan Twin Touch markers to colour the cute icons and added some "glitter" with the Clear Shimmer Brush. And to help make the book marks a little sturdier and to cover the bleed of the markers, I added coloured cardstock to the back of each book mark. The book marks are finished with a selection of ribbon and twine from my stash.

The "A Little Bit of Pun" Stamp Set is only available during December! You can get your set for just $7.50 with a qualifying order or you can purchase it for $27.00 from you Consultant. 

If you don't have a Consultant, then you can contact me or place an order here!
