Christmas crafting - Part 2

My second crafting post, I was meant to post this ages ago but I've only just finished them. I decided o make my own gift bags this year and here are my creations! Excuse the messy windowsill background!

I bought the plain kraft bags and decorated them using digi images, ribbon, metallic paper, bows, die cut snowflakes, glitter and gems!

Christmas crafting - Part 1

Sorry the photo isn't very good but here is a quick look at my christmas cards that I've made this year. I've only done 4 mainly due to time limits but they were so simple to make and anyone could make them.

What you need

Cards

Corner punch

Ribbon

Spotty paper downloaded from Pink Petticoat

Let me know if you've done any crafting for christmas this year!

December crafting post

This is the last crafting post I'll be doing this year so there are a few more cards on here than usual which I post on my other blog and on Pear Tree Designs where I am a member of their design team.

Card 1: Shaker card

(glitter/beads/confetti behind a sheet of acetate)

Card 2: Colourful

(no dark boring colours)

Card 3: Sketch design

(had to use this layout)

Card 4: Winter Wonderland

Card 5: Christmas

So there we are, my last cards of 2010! I will be continuing my design team duties next year so will continue to post monthly updates on here.

November crafting post

This is my monthly crafting post to show what I submitted for my design team challenges this last month.

Card 1: Free for all

Card 2: Halloween

Card 3 - Bonfire Night

Card 4 - Sketch design

October crafting post

So this is another new post idea that I've had. I wrote a post, last week I think, about me becoming a design team member for Pear Tree Designs so I thought every month I would do a quick blog post on here with my cards that I've submitted each week.

Card 1 - Pink

Card 2 - A sketch challenge

Card 3 - Celebration

Card 4 - Good Luck

Card 5 - Autumn

Eeek I'm excited!

Some of my older followers will know that in my spare time I also enjoy crafting, mainly card making, and through starting this blog I began following crafting blogs where you have to submit a card each week relating to a specific challenge. So by not wanting to fill this blog with crafting posts I started my sister blog, bk crafting, with my mum and after not very long taking part in these challenges I was thrilled to be asked to be a guest design team member for a month at Pear Tree Designs!

So for the past month I've been submitting a card a week as a member of the DT but I was then asked if I would like to permanently become a full time member of the DT!! And of course I jumped at the chance so I now design for Pear Tree Designs!

When I started blogging which I began properly at the beginning of this year I never dreamt that I would end up having 2 blogs, a mountain of followers and a position in a design team! Hopefully there is much more still to come!
