Christmas Gift boxes

Good Morning Everyone., I think this is the first time in months that I've shown another post in two days.  I said yesterday that I was making boxes for Christmas gifts and these ones will hold fine scarves. I watched a few of Chloe's Creations on Hochanda about a month ago and love her stamps, so then she brought out her christmas collection and of I fell in love with them all, and you know the rest, yes, I bought them and love making gifts and cards using them. They have certainly helped my state of mind and thinking of crafts as I set about using them.  Yesterdays card was the sentiment card and today its two of my boxes. Both of them are 6 X 6 X 13/4. so really quite big.  The largest of the Snow Flowers I did in Velum and the other one in Mars red pearlized paper.  I really enjoyed making those and now I will try some smaller ones.  Hope you like what I've done with card and paper.  Hugs Rita xxx

CCC Challenge 22. Sentiment to be the Focal Point

Hi Everyone, the end of October is nearly over and the weather is getting worse. We should all be getting an hour extra in bed today, so hope you all get a benefit from that.  We are now ar Challenge 22 and the lovely Sylvie would love to see a Sentiment as the focal point in this one. So I have kept my card simple so as not to detract from the verse.  The verse is from Chloes Stamps and the holly flower is also a die from Chloe. A pleasure to create Sylvie. Simple for me as I don't often manage a plain card.  Enjoy your crafting folks in the run up to Christmas now. I have done a few boxes that Ill post on Monday.  I am doing some gifts as well, so gradually getting back into the swing of things.     Hugs Rita xxx

Christmas Card Club Challenge 21 is Non-Traditional Colours

Hello Everyone.   The weather this week has been pretty miserable, so believe it or not I ventured in to my Craft Room.   Came across some things that were forgotten about and after sorting them out I thought I'd make my card for this weeks CCC 21 and it was chosen by my friend and colleague Carol,who asked for Non-Traditional colours.   I just adore Christmas but love the Traditional colours. So my offering this time around is Blue and Silver, hopefully it falls in to this category.  It is an 8 X 8 cards matted with blue and white card , the vellum Poinsettias are light blue & dark blue sprinkled with  glitter finished off with a lovely sentiment and Triple Organza bow..  Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the team have done.  There are links on my side bar.  Thank You Carol, as I did enjoy creating this card.   Till Next Time. Hugs Rita xx

CCC Challenge 20: Anything Round

Good Morning lovely people, Time again for another challenge here on the CCC, Valery chose the theme for this one and she'd like to see anything round.   So here is my card and I hope it fits the bill.  Mostly matting and layering for this one as time was short, but I did enjoy making it,  hoping now that Autumn is here I can return to my craft room again. Garden has has been tidied up for winter, apart from the constant battle with leaves etc. I dearly hope you are all well and finding time to craft as the the winter is fast approaching.  I feel I need a refresher course in crafting to get back in the mood, but Ill give it a go anyway.  Take Care and Look after Yourselves.  Hugs Rita xxxx
