Christmas Gifts

I said earlier that it is never too early to start your Christmas crafting......seems like I'm following my own advice for a change, lol.

I've even taken up my knitting again. Does anyone need a scarf? I made lots last year and never got round to selling any. Going free to a good home if anyone needs a new scarf (christmas gift?) Let me know and I can post the colours.

Anyhow, for now here's a few new bits and pieces I have made as little extras for Christmas gifts. These are from Raggedy Scrappin .

Christmas Tote & Notes

Thanks to Andrea at The Paper Purse and me blurfing (blog surfing) her blog, I came across a wonderful site by a talented artist called Cheryl Seslar.

Raggedy Scrappin has a whole host of different graphics which can be bought singly or as set and also has some wonderful printable sets to purchase if you are lacking inspiration or short of time.

Here's a super little Christmas tote bag I bought, and it includes little note cards to pop inside for your intended receiver. I think its very cute and I'm sure the kids will love making some to give to their friends too.

Christmas.....in July - It's NEVER too early

Well, I figure now is as good a time as any to get started on the Christmas gifts. I wanted to do something different this year. Something that would be more of a long term keepsake rather than some papercraft gift.

How do you think these turned out?

Snowman Plate

Polar Bears Plate

Christmas Snack Plate

Grandma's Christmas Candle

Grandma's Christmas Soap

These were all made using images from PC Crafter.com. I used waterslip decals to put the images onto plates, candles and even soap. It can almost go on anything and is really quick and easy to use - well, after one or two practices, lol.

I might just have to consider trying to sell some of these festive plates later on in the year. I have even made a Halloween one but I'll show that off nearer the time.
