Christmas - CSI Case File 185

Hello Everyone

BoBunny was invited to join along with the CSI challenges this month and it was really nice to play along again.  This year has not allowed for much time to play along.

In anycase, here is the case.

And here is my page.

Evidence: I used stripes, dots and snowflakes on my patterned paper.

Testimony: I have some journalling on the back of my page and it talks about Christmas:

I can finally sit down and just enjoy the festivities and family at Christmas. Christmas can always be so hurry, scurry, shop and busy that we sometimes forget what the season is actually about.

This was Christmas eve 2014 and I am relaxed, surrounded by my family...I have long forgotten the shopping sprees, dash to get things done in time and can finally say, Christmas is here! ;-)

I used mostly papers from BoBunny Candy Cane Lane and some Celebr8 chipboard and some stamps from Prima.

Maybe you have some time to play along! ;-)

Have a super day!

Santa's Helper - Sketch Challenge no.42 - Scrap Africa

Hello Everyone

Wow...2015!!!!! Can't actually believe it....where has the time gone.....

We have a new sketch challenge at Scrap Africa here.

Please pop over and have a look at the super inspiration from the Guest Designers and Design Team.

Here's the sketch.

Here's my take on it too....using Candy Cane Lane from BoBunny.

To create the background I first laid a stencil onto the background paper and spritsed it with some spray ink.  Once dried I laid down another stencil and then a circle stencil on top of that, then applied gesso.  This have the circle of gesso circles. Then I randomly stamped with some BoBunny stamps.

To create the title I used some Chiswick alpha's.

I had water coloured these holly chippies a while back and they were the perfect colouring to match this patch.

I kept my journalling in the round circle and like how it added to the design.

Joe is Christmas Cheer itself and cannot contain himself or be patient for the day to arrive.
He is a little sad that it is over already....but is happy that there are still some school holidays left! ;-)

Wishing you a super, first day of 2015!
I hope it's a goodie!

Christmas Tree - Space Saver - Candy Cane Lane - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

I hope that your Christmas shopping and preparations are going well! ;-)

I have an Aunt who is 86 and stays in a Retirement village near us.  She is in room, which she shares with another lady.  So I wanted to give her something Christmassy for her room, but had to keep it small.

I had got some inspiration from the shopping centre near us, that had a Christmas tree, made from huge doilies.  So here is my tree, made from different sized diecuts.  I am sure that any circular type diecuts would work perfectly.

I used a dowel stick for the centre and punched holes into the centre of my diecuts.  I also added a little plastic jar, which I covered with paper, as the base. Each diecut piece I just cut a slit from the centre to the edge, and then stuck the ends together to give it a curve.

I added pearls and gems as the decorations.

This is how it looks from above!

I will pop past my Aunt today and give it to her.  I hope she likes it!!

Anyways....hope you are enjoying the festive season.

Have a super, festive day!

BoBunny Christmas Gifts

Hello Everyone

I hope you have had a super Sunday! It is a special day for me today...it is my Birthday! So it was a day spent with the family and a really lovely day! So now the guests have left, the dishes are all done, Joe is in bed....and I can relax! ;-)

I altered a perfume box and a coffee jar with the, really pretty Candy Cane Lane Collection from BoBunny.

The coffee jar is a Jacobs coffee bottle...which had the perfect colouring bottle top.

I filled it with fruit jellies.  Here is the other side.

The box is an altered perfum box, which really was just too pretty to throw out.

I did some stamping and then just layered up a few pretty elements and some blooms and leaves.

Here is the inside.  I am not sure yet, what this box will hold...but we'll see.

I am now really going to go and put my feet up....and relax.

So thanks for stopping by!
I really do appreciate the visits.
Have a super evening!

Candy Cane Lane BoBunny - Christmas Cards

Hello Everyone

I have had a really productive weekend, in between some nice family time and some beautiful weather.

I am slowly adding to my Christmas Cards this year, so hopefully I should have enough, in time for Christmas! ;-)

I used the very pretty Candy Cane Lane collection from BoBunny.

I added some old music paper, as an extra layer.

This collection has such sweet Santa images...I couldn't help myself, but use them! ;-)

I die-cut some snowflakes for this card and also added a few bits of stamping.

This is turning out to be one of my favourite collections and I really do plan to make some more cards from it, as well as some Christmas gifts.  So watch this space for that!
