HAPPY CHRISTMAS


I spotted this festive little fellow on the prom yesterday.


I am in Love with my new winter coat! I picked it up at 'Bobby and Dandy' in Hove.

I'd like to wish you all
a Very Merry Christmas
and a Happy 2015.

Christmas Card 2014


My Christmas card this year has been a real family effort. I roped in my other half to paint the tree as mine was far too uptight and my children helped with the stickers!

Ta dah!
The design was a continuation on the theme from last year. I was thinking back to my school days when I had great fun making Christmassy things. For last years card it was paper snowflakes. This year I wanted to produce a design that could incorporate stickers so I went for a simple Christmas tree design. I sent the cards to my clients (as they are such creative folk!) with an empty tree and enclosed an envelope with a selection of stickers so they could decorate it themselves.


 Two favourite making books from my childhood.


 One thing I can clearly remember making in the run up to Christmas at primary school is paper lanterns.

I have been busy making my annual Christmas Card in between everything else! This little fella was pipped at the post. I don't think he looks too happy about it!
