Christmas 2010

I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas!  Ours was very quiet.  I got some lovely craft stuff though.  First a new camera - yay!  It's great, I just have to figure out how to use it.  Also a natural light lamp, for taking photos and so I can see what I am working on.  Always helpful.

I got lots of new Swarovskis.  This picture is me sorting them out into storage pots.  I didn't get all of these for Christmas, by the way!

A lovely book on making wire jewellery!

From my MSE Secret Santa!  Lots of jewellery bits, as well as some very helpful templates not shown in the picture.

Beads!

My aunt's cat Bonnie poses for my first picture.  She's very friendly and sweet.

Her gorgeous dog, Jay - exhausted by a day of begging for food!

Some more Christmas cards

I made these before I got ill - hope to do some more this weekend.

Christmas cards

 

Shiny snowflake card, with 3D snowman, a penguin and snowflakes.

Aperture card with hanging lights, gold ribbon and embellishments.  I've made quite a few like this, and really like the way they look with the lights hanging down.  I've put mirror gold card behind it.

From a decoupage set with a glittery green background.

A Stampin' Up rolling snowflake stamp was used, and then embossed with silver.  The text was only used once - when I went to use it again, I found it in half.  No idea how that happened, and I really liked the stamp.

Christmas card - no red or green challenge

My entry for the Christmas card with no red or green challenge.

Some close ups of the ribbon - that I adore so much!

Having seen the gorgeous other entries, I have no chance!  But I thought I'd give it a go anyway.
