Wallet for Lotto ticket

I received this lovely wallet containing a Lotto ticket for Christmas. It's wonderful how we can all turn gifts into something a bit more special with our stamps and paper.

I'm ordering on the 4th for anyone wanting items from the Clearance sale so email me if you'd like to order.

Christmas Wreath Class

We just had a fabulous time today making these Flower Wreaths for Christmas. We covered a polystyrene wreath with brown paper (the packing when we get a Stampin Up! order). We had prepared the flowers (mostly done by Barbara) so today the ladies just had to assemble them and then attach them to the covered wreath. The results are all different and we had such fun making the flowers and sticking them on.

Thanks to Jacque Pedersen for lending us the sample wreath and to Barbara Bicknell for making it happen.

Extravaganza Goodies

We had a fabulous time on Saturday at Extravaganza, so many wonderful projects were demonstrated and made by those who attended. Barbara and I made the sleigh notepad below. We really enjoyed demonstrating this because although there were a lot of parts to the project there was not much to teach, really just guide with the putting it together. Everyone enjoyed that we had pre-embossed so they didn't have to leave the table to put the project together.
