Christmas Cookie Jars

Hello everyone,
I bet some of you are enjoying an extra hour in bed.........for me its an extra hour to play!!!!

I made a couple of these jars earlier in the year to see if anyone would want to buy them as gifts for Christmas. I have got a few on order so thought I better make a start instead of leaving them til the last minute.
I have simply layered the ingredients in the jar,printed out the method and then made a tag. Decorated the jar with ribbon and the top with die cut snowflakes.
They make great gifts and are realtively quick and easy to produce.
Thanks for loking.

Just Cute Bears & Friends Challenge #38

Well hope you are all ok and enjoying the weekend.  I have just been catching up with some of the new creations in blog land as I dont seem to have had much chance over the last week or so.
Last weekend I had a great time with my friend Robyn.  I stayed over on the friday night and we stayed up until almost 1am crafting the night away and then started again about 9ish the following morning.....it was great.
I managed to colour in quite a few images and today I am making some of them into cards.

The Challenge over at Just Cute Bears & Friends is a sketch.
I used a Marianne Design clear stamp from the Winter set which you can see here. I coloured it with a mixture of Copics and Promarkers and then added Stickles and a glitter gel pen to highlight it.
The background papers are from my stash.
Ribbon is Papermania and the snowflakes made with Martha Stewart and Woodware punches.

Thanks for looking.

A Couple of Simple Christmas Designs

I forgot to mention that I went to a Promarker Workshop on Saturday at my local Craft Shop Stampeezee.  The class was run by the super talented Sonia pop  over and see some of her fab creations.
I bought some of the Woodware Stamps that Sonia had been demonstrating with the previous week.
I have made a couple of really simple cards using the Tipsy Tree set and the Christmas Bubble clear set.
It was a really good class and I picked up quite a few tips, I know I still need lots of practice though.
Through blog land I met Sylvie who is now living in Gibraltar but is from Coventry originally. It was great to meet her and I can't wait to see some of her creations with the new stash that she has taken back with her!!
Well I must go now and see what work has in store for the day :(.
Thanks for stopping by.
