It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas #9
Last night i came home to find some festive snowflakes decorating one bedroom doorframe!
Had it snowed inside?
Were we in the midst of a blizzard?
Had Santa come early?
Was Jack Frost visiting?
Nope.
Georgia and Piper had made these out of normal A4 scraps. By tracing a CD to get a circle template, they then cut around it. Fold the circle into quarters and cut random shapes from the folded circle. Unfold and voila! A beautiful snowflake.
Georgia's tips -
1. To get more intricate designs you can fold it smaller than quarters.
2. Vary circle sizes for added effect. Use dinner plates or side plates to trace for guidance.
3. use very thin fishing line or mono poly clear thread to hang your snowflakes. You can barely see the thread and it really looks like they are hanging in space or snowing!

Here's my very late take on your wonderful colour challenge. The only yellow
I have used had been in the photo and I included a smidge of black. I'm
really happy with how the Kraft came up. Thanks girls.
Trish S
WOW Trish. Love how you have just used the yellow in the photo - it really packs a punch and draws you in.
You are the queen of kraft scrunching and love love love how it looks here!! And fabulous splats! Great use of the hessian for a masculine embellishment. Awesome stuff.

big title challenge - Judy
Hi Amanda,
I got all keen when i saw the new challenge of so what!! as I
have had these chipboard letters 4ever and never been able 2 use them as
they were sooo big-aha they were just the ideal thing 4 this layoutand this
photo was soo right 4 it.
I didn't have enough s's but as there are no rules
in scrapbooking ...I used the Z instead. I sanded right around the edge of
the red paper butit needed a border and the only thing I had was the
packaging from some protective sheets I got from k-mart and wall-a it was
the perfect colour as the letters hope u enjoy it.
Looks great Judy. Love the dymo (ive got a soft spot for it from way back!) and those chip letters are fabulous! Great photo and the layering + buttons is fabulous. Red, white and black are such a striking colour combo.
Thanks for joining in!

Judy
Hi Amanda its Judy W once again and have some more layouts to go on
the blog. This one is of my eldest grandson Dawson and I used a negative
part of a used up letter sheet. I sanded all the colour off it and gave ot 2
coats of cream paint, so there is a way of using up what I would have
probably thrown away.
This one I got the idea from the internet but then did my own thing-all
the girls at Scrapworks loved all the details. I inked the gauze bandage
with a ink pad and made it look like grass and used felt and blanket
stitched around the edges 4 the clouds. Thanks 4 letting me share my work, u
just never know maybe I'll get enough courage 2 submit some b4 long Regards
Judy
Wow Judy all these are fantastic. Love the detail in the count your blessings one. Looks fabulous on the fabric! Great idea using the negative of the lettering - i have often thought that i must try that too. It looks great and so effective!!
Awesome stitching on your love to sew layout. Wonderful bright colours! Makes me want to fire up my machine on some layouts!! Really amazing stuff.
So glad you could join in and post some of your brilliance Judy!! Thanks for the inspiration.

This 1 I really loved because nearly every page I do I almost always have
2 sew something on it either by hand or machine, otherwise it doesn't feelright. Tiff says it's my signature.
