So the clue for from me is - 4 SANTA HATS

And now for my creation :)

Black gold and white are my favorite colors and I am so happy they are trending right now

This chip board book actually comes in and A4 size but I had a bit of a "situation" so has to cut it down...but hey thats crafting you just learn as you go along and as it turns out I like the new look of my book.

On the spine I have tied some lace and also added some chain.  I painted a few of the cute wee chipboead pieces I then added an eyelet so I can then hang them on the dangle :)

  

This page has a photo mat that opens up for more room for pictures and journaling.

 These pages below have nice large photo mats to put those special pics that re capture a great Christmas occasion.

 I made the photo mats with tags tucked behind...another place to journal or even more pics.

and a pocket page with more mats and journal spaces.

You can see through out the book I have painted all my little chip board embellishments in gold.  All these chipboard pieces are available from Imagine if....

Have fun hopping...and Merry Christmas :)

Christmas Stocking

There was a guessing game going on this week who would design what type of stocking and it seems my fellow team members had me pegged and true to form it seems I didn't disappoint.

So here's mine with...you guessed it lace and doilies :)

So there you have it guys.  I couldn't guess what the other ladies would do they are all so different and I'm sure will inspire you in their own way.

Christmas Tree Album

Hey there Crafters

Hope everyone's getting inspired by all the christmas crafts the team here at Imagine if have been doing.

You can see below that I have embellished the cover with gold trim and images cut from the paper that I have popped up to add dimension

Christmas Tag and small gift tags

Hey there crafty friends

I wanted to share with you some tags I created using supplies from Imagine if.....

The big Tag I did is not traditional Christmas colors but I thought "hey!! It's my tag" so I went ahead.

This is a pretty large tag I cut from heavy cardstock I then layered and stitched some canvas type fabric and then some vintage music paper.

I colored up these cute flower shape chipboard pieces with gesso first and then black and orange stickles layered them on top of one another and popped a little black bling in the center.

Here you canse that I have covered the chipboard Christmas tree with some music paper and then added some bling to it and the gorgeous frame underneath I covered with stickles.

I also created some little gift tags and they are so cute with the little chipboard pieces on them

Below you can see I cut some tiny tags,  layered them with some scrap canvas, music paper and some burlab and tied some twine up the top.

I painted the little gingerbreadman, stocking and candystick with arcrylic paint and then went over them with stickles.

Hope you are all getting in to some christmas crafting and having fun.

Journal - Beautiful

Hey guys

I've been on a bit of a crafty roll lately so I have a few things to share.

First up is this Journal I did today and I really like how it turned out.

For this journal I tea dyed paper, did alot of stitching...made tags and pockets.  I added ledger paper and other papers.  This journals was heaps of fun to make.

The paper I used in this Journal was from and older collection from Pink Paisley.  I love it.

Dived into my box of die cuts and ephemera.

Christmas Sleigh

Back again with another Christmas project using supplies from Imagine if...

This Christmas Sleigh comes as raw MDF in 4 pieces that you very easily assemble yourself..once that is don the fun begins.

Once assembled I took bits and pieces of chipboard die cuts from Imagine if... and glued them on to the sleigh to create some interest and dimension.

I then painted the whole thing with 2 coats of gesso.

Using acrylic paint in antique gold and antique cream I painted it. Trying to achieve an old rustic look.

I then put glue on all the top areas and sprinkled loads of diamond dust to create and snowy look.

Be sure to check out the other blogs on this hop and be inspired by all the other Christmas creations.

Cute Notebooks - Easy Peasy

Hello

I wanted to share with you these cute little notebooks I have been making.

These ones I have done with a fairy shabby chic vibe going on but I have also been doing them in other style aswell.

To make these books all I have done is gather my papers together.  I have tea dyed some paper and also used some designer papers.  I have then cut them to size.  For these ones I cut them at 21cm x 10.5cm and then I folded them in half and sewn straight up the middle.  How easy is that!!!

Obviously if you don't want to wreck you sewing machiene you want to keep the. to about 7 or 8 pieces of paper but once folded it gives you enough leaves to make a cute little notebook.

I also added tucks and pockets in which you can slide in tags and Journaling spaces aswell as a few photo mats.  I have made up heaps to sell at markets but these would make gorgeous little gifts and stocking fillers.   Brag books...Gratitude journals...thank you gifts...a great little project to make and to use up some of your gorgeous paper scraps.

Thanks guys :)
