Mini Rosette Christmas Trees

Hello my lovely crafty friends. I hope you've all had a super Christmas. We had a fabulous time!

I love Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas but never found time to join in this year. He made some rosette trees and I managed to make a few and gave them as little extra gifts over our festive travels. I didn't get to photo all of them as they were made very last minute as needed,but here are 2 I would like to share just before the festive season finishes!



Recipe
Tim Holtz rosette dies in all 3 sizes
white paint
glamour dust
peg
jelly beans!!!


Thanks for stopping by.
Hope to catch up with you all really soon.

Christmas Tree Ornaments

Hi,today is a new challenge over at Scraptastic Monday. Challenge #6 is to to make a Christmas tree ornament,card or tag and it must have a Christmas ball and some bling.

We would love you to join us and use one of Cindy's fabulous digis which you can get from here but it's not a requirement.

I decided to use Cindy's Sweet Angels Set and make tree decorations. This image was so easy to use for this.


I love these digis and coloured with promarkers.Added lots of glamour dust for their halos and wings. Glossy accents on the baubles and outlined with silver krylon pen.
I added beads onto some wire I curled and a bit of tinsel ribbon.
I sandwiched the wire between front and back layers.


Check out all the beautiful ornaments over at Scraptastic Monday and I am looking forward to seeing your creations.

Have a great day.

Hello,I don't seem to have had much time to craft of late,but managed to make this in between preparing tea! Now usually I can't get any decent photos in an evening but Santa has been kind enough to let me have a trial play with a present!!


I made this card for Penny Black Saturday Challenge - White Out. You can add colour to your image (which is the tree - has to be  Penny Black ).
This also fits my good friend Cindy's challenge over at Scraptastic Monday which is to use a snowman or snowflake with a Winter Wonderland scene.
