What happened to November?!?!

Oh my! My poor blog has been a little neglected of late!

November was a super busy month for classes, I had four...yes 4 going on!

Lots of prep, lots and lots of bits of paper...everywhere!

To start with I had a mini accordion album, How to build a Snowman in 5 easy steps, a cute little rhyme and places to put pictures or gift cards.

This is a condensed picture of the album, for larger pictures go to my post back in September 

and you'll get a better view.

Then came my Eight Little Reindeer mini album, a lovely rhyme about santa's reindeer, this album had pocket pages with tags in them for all your holiday photos. 

After this came my christmas card class four fun cards and a 'slider box' card.

   

  

Last but by no means least was my Santa's  Magic Key keepsake, a little rhyme and key to help santa get through the door instead of going down the chimney, because you know not all of us have a chimney!

So that was my November. Busy and so much fun!.....I'll be back tomorrow to show you what else I got to making in November, I'd tell you now but I think this post is quite long enough!!!...are you still awake?!?!?

 

A Little Happy

Got to stamp and color these little chappies this morning, I just LOVE them!

Turned my favorite coffee mug die cut into both a gift card holder and cocoa sachet holder....two

happies in one.....can't be bad!!!...

Oh Happy Day!

New stamps and a mini album

It seems such a long time since I posted on my blog! I've been prepping and teaching classes and of course letting my craft brain cell go to work to come up with some cute....well I think they are....Christmas projects, more on those later!

I ordered some new release stamps, and a couple of older ones from Stamping Bella and they arrived today!....

I can't wait to get these inked up!!! Before I can get to that I had some class prep to do, and a little mini album I needed to put some finishing touches to. Finally finished and this is for a Little Sweetie who is turning 1. It has loads of space for those special pics we take a gazillion of!....

Off to finish a little more prep, then it's break out the ink and let's get those beauties stamped!!!

Last 'challenge'....for now!

Remember a few weeks ago I set myself a 'challenge' to use some of the tools I owned that I had loved and moved on from or just not even used? Well here is what I came up with for the Sizzix accordian card/album die! It's just a little 'Holiday Happy' Snowman book. On the back there is space for photos, journaling, or even gift cards! Think I'll just have it on my hutch with all my other snow chappies this Christmas.  Off now to find more 'stuff' to challenge myself with!....watch this space 😊
