I want to share with you some makes from my talented ladies

Every now and again I like to set my Ladies a challenge, this month they certainly rose to the occasion, I asked them to make something Christmassy. I had decorated the house in readiness & everyone loved our upside down tree & took loads of pictures.

The first pictures are of the robin place name & napkin ring made by Kate.

Can you spot the Stampin' Up Scallop circle punch?

The week previously Daphne had taken part in a Cyber crop & had made a 3D scene & a 3D picture cube.

Aren't they just the coolest, I have never done a cyber crop, maybe that is something that i'll have to add to my to do list for 2011.

The card was from Jeanette she had seen a sample very similar at the Ally Pally show & made one for me.

I love the use of the shades of Grey on the card, not a colour I often use at the moment. Something else to remedy during 2011.

Ann is following Shimelle in journalling her Christmas. It was lovely because Ann loved our decorations & took loads of pictures to add to her journal as our Christmas evening was part of Ann's Christmas preparations. Ann had been making embellishments & she made these using the season of Joy set & bottle lids, I love them & it's something else I need to try & I have been collecting the bottle tops of my Pepsi RAW bottles in readiness for this project.

During the evening we had home-made mince pies with sweet almond pastry & home-made sausage rolls with Cheesy pastry I will add the pictures & recipes later.
I hope everyone enjoyed the evening as much as I did & i look forward to seeing you all again in 2011.
