Finding it difficult to believe we are already in November and less than seven weeks to Christmas.
Where am I going to put the Christmas tree and what am I going to put under it this year, each year it gets harder as they are all grown up and slightly different its at this time of the year I miss the excitement of when they were little.
Trying to get into the spirit of things I thought I might create some Christmas pages and trying to get the Christmas Album to look good, I am amazed at how many photos are missing thought I took some each year,

I used a heat and stick embossing powder which heat sets the glitter on to the chipboard, combined it with texture paste on a stencil to give a little dimension all combined with my leaves, from the die, leafy foliage with left over paper .

 I used papers from the Tis Christmas Collection,Christmas Decorations, and Christmas Flowers

This card I will be teaching at the shop in December

 yes more photos of my daughters dance album

I used

La Blanche stamps available at Meg's Garden

Imaginarium Chipboard

Different things

Back again
I am still working on my daughters album so like I warned here comes more

this picture of my daughter has a tale behind it
this was taken at a national championship in Geelong, she danced beautifully firstly with her Hard shoes and then it was her turn to dance with her soft shoe, Jenni does a beautiful hold jump the unfortunate thing was when she came down from this jump she landed and broke her foot.

They call it the dancers break
I have a few others to show as well, this was recently a class at Seriously Scrapbooking shop

 A Christmas card

 A Vintage page

 Scrolls embossed on parchment paper

so what did I use

thanks until next time

Slides

I have always wanted to decorate slides and I finally have taken the time out to give it a try I will admit I did have a couple of big ideas and just ended up taking the easy option

 I have made my slides as decorations that can be hang on the Christmas tree,  there are images on both sides as I have joined two slides together

with the left overs I decorated a two slot, slide book these slides are adhered to the book with glossy accents

  every thing is available over at Meg's Garden including the slides and slide book.

White Christmas

Today I had a lovely afternoon with a group of ladies teaching these cards,as we are almost thinking Christmas the time is to make a start on our Christmas cards
and here we have begun

part of todays lesson was all about our Big Shot  using our spell binders dies combine with patern paper to get a soft and shabby chic effect I have used

Dreaming in Duck Eggs Blue P6346

 it is not Christmas paper but just goes to show you don't always need Christmas paper to achieve the result.

But if you are looking for Christmas Paper check out our knew Collection Tis Christmas over at Meg's Garden. I am real excited about this Collection as I want to please both card makers and Scrapbookers with these designs and for all the different techniques of texture paste I believe they are soft enough to still achieve that look as well.

I hope you like my knew collection as much as I do
